The cables will not work with laptops, at least any standard size laptop. The distance between the monitor port and USB port is too great to be connected if the two are on opposite sides of the laptop.Customer service for Trendnet decided that the only fix was to return the product.
KVM died after about a year of using. They're allright but would recommend Linksys KVMs over these.
Product is a little unwieldy and has a cheaper feel. In retrospect, I probably should have compared more. Overall, it does what it is supposed to, but it is a cable monster once you connect up all the cables.they come out of all sides, so you'll want to figure out a way to hide this and use the soft keys on the keyboard.Works, sometimes won't wake up a PC correctly (may be the PC's fault), cable mess that prevents you from having free access to the buttons on top (you'll want to hide the box). Inexpensive.
At the start of the fourth week of use, I turned off the computer for about an hour. Initially I was disappointed with this item because each computer recognised it as a new USB device everytime I switched between computers. This stopped, or I got desensitized, after a week. On turning it back on, the screen began flickering. Further investigation revealed that the KVM switch had stopped working.This is the worst Trendnet device I have ever purchased, and I have purchased quite a bit.
This product is exactly what I was looking for and the price is great. Not much more to say really. Works great even with switching between Mac and Windows machines.
