Title: A mixed bag
Product review: This KVM works great in the correct situations. If you want to hook a basic keyboard and mouse up between two computers then you should be just fine.However, if you use a docking station for a laptop it may not work. Apparently it draws more power than hooking up the same keyboard and mouse by themselves. This makes sense, but it seems to draw more than the power supply for the dock can provide. This resulted in the keyboard not working. The solution was to bypass the docking station and plug in directly to the laptop. That defeats the purpose of the docking station.This device also cannot handle special keyboards with multimedia features or special buttons.None of this would be a very big deal if it was made clear on the packaging. However, the package mentions none of these limitations, nor does the manufacturer website. I see others have had the same problems from some of the reviews, so beware.
