I have 4 computers (one a laptop) that I toggle between with StarTech. I have used this same switch for probably 16 years. I finally wore out the keyboard and mouse PS2 plug. I bought another PS2 because I have older Dell computers and some have had trouble with USB. Per normal, shut everything down, hook up the cabling, mouse, and keyboard and worked with one exception. I had a hard time getting PC #1 to see the mouse and keyboard. I ended up hooking it up on PC4 slot and it worked fine. Crossed my fingers and put it back on #1 and it worked. Everything is in good working order now. The keyboard PS2 connection fits nice and snug in the new StarTech. Also, I have a USB mouse. I used a PS2 to USB adapter before and did the same thing and it worked fine.
NOTE: One PC#1 on the first StartTech, I had to use 2 USB to PS2 adapters to make it work. One USB for keyboard, one for mouse. This time, that didn't work. I had to hook them up on the same USB to PS2 keyboard and mouse adapter. I have gone through this before so have adapters for any given problem...... I continue to use a PS2 keyboard because I absolutely hate the window keys between Alt and Ctl. I use Alt and Ctl keys extensively and I kept hitting the window keys. I would end up all kind of fun places that I did not want to be so I gave up the USB keyboard and went back to a PS2.
If you don't want multiple mouses, keyboards and monitors on your desk - this little unit is for you. I highly recommend it.
