Junk
Didn't work at all. With no external power supply, it relies on some machine for power, and using the hot keys to switch between machines (the only option) consistently failed to switch the keyboard/mouse. Routinely, the switch would hang, and would not respond to keyboard hot keys. This is not a product for a serious user. I'll be returning this unit, and finding something more reliable.

Not a bad device for simple resource sharing
I have four of these devices in my server room. I like to use them for PC setup on the bench, so that I only have to have one monitor, keyboard and mouse. I have one on my desk so that I can switch back and forth from my Windows 7, Windows 10 computers and my Mac Mini (using an adapter). I also use one for a pair of ancillary servers in my environment. I'm used to the keystroke to move from one device to the next, so it doesn't bother me, but visitors are sometimes confused. I wish it had an external power supply, I have one device that doesn't seem to be getting enough power from the computer to run. I also wish the video output were DVI or HDMI instead of VGA, but for computer setup it's fine. If you're looking for a way to share resources on a bench or a desktop it works just as you would expect.
