1 out of 5 stars Doesn't work right-- waste of money.......2006-07-09

The box doesn't always transmit keystrokes and mouse clicks, similar to what others have been saying. Double-clicks are difficult because it rarely registers the second click. It will arbitrarily repeat keystrokes, for example, while tying this review it willllllllllll get stuck. Sometimes it goes completely haywire and I need to crawl under the desk and unplug everything to get it to work again. I wouldn't accept one of these for free. I'm off to buy something that actually works.

1 out of 5 stars Junk.......2006-04-19

Don't waste your money in this. It didn't work well even with a standard keyboard. It missed your keypress all the time and sometime it stupidly repeated receiving the same keypress many many times. e.g., you try to delete one letter by pressing Backspace but it kills several line of your text. The switch died all the time and you needed to reactivate it by pressing the button on the panel.

I don't understand why this thing can be sold as a product. Just a piece of junk.

1 out of 5 stars Piece of junk, do not waste your money on this.......2006-03-15

I am trying to use this KVM to switch between a Dell Laptop and Desktop.

A dell standard USB optical mouse will miss about 50% of the attempted clicks. I often must double click 2-3 times on a folder before the mouse clicks are actually detected by the computer!

With a Dell Standard USB keyboard, the response rate is VERY slow when the keyboard is plugged into this KVM. Often keys are not typed when you have obviously pressed them on the keyboard. As another review also stated, sometimes they keyboard locksdown on a keyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (like that). The only way out of this is to switch the KVM to the other computer and back again. Extremely frustrating.

In the period of typing this review, I have had to retype at least 10-15 keystrokes that were not detected by the keyboard.

This is a lousy piece of junk and I would not recommend it.

1 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2006-03-12

Was not compatible with my Logitech peripherals - even though my ConnectPro KVM switch worked fine. I guess I have to stick to USB 1.0 for now....

2 out of 5 stars Mouse and Keyboard do not function well.......2006-02-16

The KVM switch DKVM-2U does not work properly with my hardware as follows:

Hardware: Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000
Symptoms:
1) From each five to ten words typed, around one key stroke is missed.
2) Keyboard unexpectedly loses connection (requires unplug/replug or shift between machines to recover connection).
3) Keyboard unexpectedly locks with a key strokeeeeeeeeeeeeeee oops like just happened here, and requires unplug/replug or shift between machines to recover connection.
4) Function keys do not work (volume, mute, home, email, etc... all of them)

Hardware: Microsoft Standard Wireless Optical Mouse
Symptoms: Completely non-operatinal

Hardware: Dell optical wired mouse M-UVDEL1
Symptoms: Around 30% of mouse clicks are missed

The only working item is the video.

Running WIN XP SP2 on both machines.

I am dissatisfied and do not recommend the product. It is a pitty it doesn't work.

    5 out of 5 stars Slim, pliable and high-quality........2007-06-27

    I bought these cables specifically because I had a major multi-unit DirecTV HD-DVR installation in my house, and the cables that DirecTV supplied were fat, long and virtually unbendable. I have used very slim Monster co-ax cables in the past, and have long relied on their sheilding and robust build to deliver high quality digital signals. I use them for my satellite and cable modem hookups, and couldn't be happier that I can bend them to go where I want them to go, and loop and tie the slack with a cable tie MUCH more easily than the ridiculously fat R6 cables that most companies provide or sell. Those old cables were more like springs than cables. I also found an excellent price for these through one of the Amazon sellers, and they arrived promptly for about 20% less than anywhere else I could find.
