I had planned to use this with an Adesso Tru Form Pro keyboard/touchpad combination. The keyboard and touchpad do not require any special drivers, they work fine when plugged directly into the computer. But they have only a single USB connection. This device seems to absolutely require a separate connection for the mouse and keyboard. When I plugged the single connection into either the mouse port or the keyboard port mouse clicks were translated into random keystrokes and keystrokes translated into random mouse clicks.

I also tried my old PS2 keyboard and mouse, each with a separate connection made through a PS2->USB adapter. No luck. They worked, sort of, but the keystrokes and mouse gestures were extremely slow to reach the computer.

I contacted Belkin technical support. They promise 24×7 web based chat support. I was unable to get anyone to respond that way. They promised one business day turnaround on email based support. It took 3 days to get an answer. That answer was “I understand that you are not able to use your high-end keyboard and mouse on the KVM that you have. Sorry to inform you that we do not recommend a high-end keyboard or mouse with the KVM switch. I request you to use a generic keyboad and a mouse. Should you have any further questions, please take a moment to review our Knowledge Base at [...]or let us know.” Some help.

Additionally, even had the device worked, it was enormous. 13″w x 5 1/2″ d x 1 3/4″ h. I would have needed a monitor stand just to make room on my desk for this beast.

On the plus side, it was easy to use. The cables were color coded to assist in connecting the cable to the correct machine. It also offered big buttons for switching (too big, I think). It did offer the ability to separately switch the audio and microphone from the keyboard, video, and mouse.

Had it been smaller and actually worked, I would have kept it. As is, I returned it. 5 stars for Amazon’s return process. They made it very easy.

It is just the piece of equipment for the job at hand.I have an apartment and a dog and does a great job. It is not to noisy to heavy and the water intake is fabulous, the carpets are almost dry.

I purchased this Y cable to connect my laptop to my TV and an older stereo with audio inputs. It works great and does the job!
