Works Great! Jul 30, 2010
Works great for me althought the quality of the video is a little lacking. But overall does what it's suppose to do so I can't complain.
Works well but wireless input device support tricky, and and hotkey response is kind of sluggish Jan 13, 2012

I bought this to replace an old PS/2-only Iogear KVM, because it was becoming so hard to find PS/2 input devices. So far it does what I need it to, and I have no trouble with the three systems I've hooked up so far -- a Linux desktop system, a Windows 7 system and a Linux server (text mode console) system; my monitor is 1920x1080 and the video is rock-solid. The hotkey and OSD response is a bit disappointing -- it takes a few seconds for the OSD to come up when you punch the hotkey, for example -- but it does work. Also, I had a little trouble finding a wireless mouse that works well with this KVM. ATEN doesn't promise that wireless mice will work, but they do suggest that some RF mice (not bluetooth) will work. I tried a Logitech M305, but I had to click two or three times before it would recognize the input. I also tried two Microsoft mice -- a Mobile 6000 and a Mobile 3500 -- but while the click response was OK, the pointer response was really laggy/floaty. ATEN support -- which I have to say is awesome, they responded in like a half an hour -- said that they didn't have a list of known-good mice but that I should avoid high-resolution laser mice and look for something that was as simple and close to a basic three-button mouse as possible. Eventually I tried one of these (HDE (TM) USB Wireless Optical Scroll Mouse) and it worked well, although ergonomically it isn't all that great. I have not tried any wireless keyboards on this device, I'm using a basic Logitech USB keyboard (K120).
Update: I also found that this mouse: Neewer 2.4GHz Red Wireless Portable USB Optical Mouse WITH USB RECEIVE Signal works well with this KVM, maybe a bit better than the HDE I linked above. This mouse is also a bit nicer as mice go, and I'd recommend it over the HDE.
