Hello everyone,

 

I was looking for a USB KVM switch for my setup. I have my work laptop and my private tower at home, because of that I switch my mouse and keyboard manual between them, what is annoying and also not good for the ports either. So I was looking for decent USB KVM switch, but I always read in the reviews about problems with the voltage from the USB connections between the machines. So I was searching for some test reports from a trustworthy source, none found. Has here some one experience with hardware like that and can me give some advice what to buy?

 

thanks

Master Silver
