Customer Review: Works w/Dell Precision (360) dual-monitor & Latitude (e6400) & IOGear Wireless combo
Summary: 5 Stars
Power off Precision and plugged in TrendNet's TK-207K, IOGear's GKM541RA (using keyboard USB port), and NEC's LCD22WV (native resolution 1680x1050). Dell's 19" CRT also attached directly to the workstation via DMS-59 Dual-display VGA Video Splitter powered by NVidia GPU. Took up to a minute for desktop to recognize hardware on the boot; Image quality (NEC) and input devices (IOGear) response time consistent with the original (w/out KVM) setup. Windows warning message that dual-monitor not supported [anymore]...oops. My Precision's extended CRT is in black-out.
Power off Latitude and plugged in TK-207K. Laptop recognized hardware in about 40 seconds on a boot (Intel T9400 w/fine-tuned XP pro baby is up in 14 sec. flat from power-on - oh yeah!). Dual-mode display on E6400 powered by NVidia GPU via VGA works, but native resolution NEC image quality down about 10-15% and not as sharp compared to original (w/out KVM) setup, but still adequate. [legitimate] NEC video drivers to possibly address this issue nowhere to be found.
Double-"Scroll Lock" switches between Desktop (PC #1) and Laptop (PC #2) with video rendering almost instantaneous and input devises active in just under 2-3 seconds.
When either desktop or laptop in "Stand by" or "Hibernate" use hard buttons on TK-207K to switch between the two (check manufacture BIOS for "wake-up" settings).
If you paid any attention my IOGear combo only uses one USB port reserved for keyboard. Guess what I do with the second USB reserved for mouse - yep, to share memory stick (Kingston). (I'll try other things when I'm really bored.) Keep in mind that it is USB version 1.1 operating at about 12 mbit/s about 40 times slower than now adopted USB 2.0 at operating at theoretical max. 480 mbit/s.
For $10 (after mail-in rebate) if this little device could handle my particular setup I'll have to send above-and-beyond card to TrendNet's engineers, but for now it seem like does what it design for and then some.
Time will tell how long will it last. If you don't hear from me on this post for awhile it probably still working.
I'll update if find solution to my dual-monitor setup.
*** UPDATE
It has been 10 days now as I start using this KVM switch and it still going strong.
Dual-monitor issue has been resolved on both, Precision 360 (GPU driver upgrade) and Latitude E6400 with few clicks on Device Management console.
Bottom line is with $10 and about 1 hour time invested into setting up my configuration I'm much more productive and can't be happier with this TrenNet's product.
