A KVM switch (Keyboard-Video-Mouse) is a major boon to anyone who has to work with more than one computer.

The BELKIN F1DK102U is a 2-port USB KVM switch that lets you manage two PCs with just one set of keyboard, monitor and mouse. Two pieces of six-foot cables are included for easy installation.

JunkFeb 18, 2005
By John
Application: single user with two Dell Pentium-4 tower computers and a brand new Belkin F1DK102U. The plastic touch-bar switch does not work very well and must be pressed several times in different places, at different angles, and with varying amounts of finesse, to get it to switch computers.

After a successful switch, the other computer appears on the monitor right away but the keyboard and mouse do not kick in for approximately five seconds; this took me a couple of days to get used to. (Hint: If you don't have sound on, turn "num lock" on for both computers. When the keyboard's "num lock" light comes on, the keyboard & mouse are ready for input.) Then it stopped working altogether! Of the ten we bought, this one and another one (two total) failed within days.

Hint #2: If you already have one that has stopped working, try unplugging it --from everything-- for a day or two, then reconnecting. (The weekend prayer vigil.) It has worked for us twice.

Hint #3: You can also switch computers by pressing: ScrollLock ScrollLock Up ScrollLock ScrollLock Up --rather than using the cheesy switch.

This left me longing for the good old mechanical A-B switches we had way back in the 1900's!

Unreliable garbageMay 16, 2005
By Kevin H. Barkan "aetheros"
The manual tells you to wait one full minute after switching and not to move the mouse or press its button while switching. It takes somewhere between 5 seconds and never to start responding to your mouse or keyboard after switching. But because you don't know how long it's going to take to respond, you have to sit and wait, hoping that in a minute or so, it might work.

It switches on its own, and doesn't like to switch when you ask it to. This is a deadly combination; it might randomly jump to the other computer and leave you stranded while it decides to hang out and ignore your request to go back to what you were doing. However, when it does go back... you have to wait for the keyboard and mouse to get picked up again. So when it randomly switches, you're looking at a couple of minutes of waiting and hoping. Literally.

I've experienced these problems with two desktops attached to the switch, and with a laptop and a desktop.

If your company frowns on loud bursts of profuse, ear-searing profanity, don't use this product... it'll get you fired. Only purchase this if you've daydreamed about going postal but can't seem to find that final straw to make you snap.

Total JunkOct 09, 2005
By David Rutledge
I just bought one of these beauties and I wish I had read your reviews first! The unit seems to fixate on one machine after a short period of operation. After that, if you switch to the other machine, it just switches itself back to the first one, and it illuminates both the A and B select lights as well. No amount of cursing or button pushing will convince it to stay connected to the second machine. And even when it does feel like working, there is a long delay between the time it connects to a machine and the recognition of the mouse and keyboard. The whole point of a KVM vice a simple A/B mechanical switch is that a KVM is supposed to present each computer with a virtualized mouse and keyboard at all times. It is NOT supposed to trigger a Plug and Play or hotplug event when you switch over because the hardware is not supposed to change. The same virtual mouse and keyboard are supposed to be seen by each computer at all times. The designers of this piece of junk evidently did not quite grasp that concept. Avoid this turkey at all costs.

Totally useless!Jun 06, 2005
By Terry L. Rosenbaum "nixus"
Kept switching computers on its own. Tried everything I could, but nothing helped. This unit is completely useless. Get the IOGear mini 2 port (the one that includes audio sharing). It's been flawless for me for about 2 months.

Very Poor ProductMar 04, 2005
By Lepton
Not at all reliable - switches on it's own, problems with the button. Very frustrating. At this price it should work much better.

Do yourself a favor - keep looking...
