    Excellent and much better than Trendnet

    I've had no end of problems with a Trendnet for years (latency when switching from one computer to another to get the USB to hook up (or not hook up at all and having to go back and forth (or even physically disconnecting and reconnecting to get it to work), dropping out in the middle of use, etc.).

    No worries here. It hooks up straight away, instantly, no bang. Just great fun.

    great device

    Works perfectly without power and no display problems.
    The keyboard shortcuts are very convenient: it allows you to place the KVM wherever you want.
    It is supplied with all cables.
    It comes with all cables, but you need an adapter if you use HDMI (for example if you use SBC regularly).

    My only regret is that my MSI gm10 mouse doesn't work with it...
    It's a pity, but personally, I preferred to keep the KVM and keep the mouse for another use.

    ATEN CS84U not CS84A

    referencing error. Thanks to LDLC for correcting this.
    I already own a Trendnet 209 which works very well, the CS84U is not comparable. The finish is very good, this is professional equipment. The switch function can be done via the keyboard. The power supply is not included and is only used with the long cables (option). The box contains 2 x 1.2m cables and 2 x 1.8m cables. The box contains 2 x 1.2m cables and 2 x 1.8m cables. All connections are on one side only (no octopus effect like Trendnet).
