Product meets my expectations.
Very practical product and parcel received quickly.
Just one detail: there's no indication at the connection point to show which device will be connected first.
The Aten CS22U mini switch allows two computers to be used alternately, regardless of their operating system, from one console (VGA/USB). Switching from one computer to the other is done with a small wired remote control so that you don't have to clutter up your desk.

This KVM switch is exactly what I expected. The hardware is reliable, precise and the wired control is very convenient.
I recommend this hardware to anyone who wants to control 2 PCs with only one mouse and one keyboard.
I was already using it at work which is what made me decide to buy the same one for home.
It does the job.
What I like is that the KVM is self-powered, the remote control (super handy you think it's a gadget but it's not) and the VGA output. I have the same one at work which works 98% of the time and I think this one will do the same. Be careful if you have a 15" laptop and the USB plug is not on the same side as the VGA plug, the cables will be too short (that's why I gave it one star less)
This switch, especially the two-group cable system that does not tangle, is very well designed. The "remote port selector" push button has a long cable. The whole unit adapts easily to the positions of the two CPUs and the zone (monitor + keyboard + mouse).
