Take control of two PCs and free your desktop from clutter with the 2-Port VGA and USB Micro KVM with Audio from Cables To Go. This powerful, compact KVM solution provides everything you need to control two PCs from a single USB keyboard, monitor, USB mouse, and speaker set. Fully integrated, single-jacket, six foot cables attach to your PCs to eliminate tangles and provide a neat, clean appearance. The small footprint of the switch makes it perfect for desktop applications.

The 2-Port VGA and USB Micro KVM is small in size but provides big box functionality. It supports video resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 while providing full keyboard and mouse emulation to prevent system lock-ups. With no software required, installation is hassle free; simply connect the cables and power up! Hot key functionality enables you to switch from PC to PC without ever taking your hands off your keyboard. The KVM's LEDs clearly indicate which system is selected.

Features:
  • Easy to install – no software required, simply connecting cables to the computers is all it takes

  • Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock states are saved and restored when switching

Comments about Cables To Go Trulink™ 2-Port VGA and USB Micro KVM with Audio:

Bought this so I could switch between a work computer and my home computer with the same monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers. Out of the box it works perfect, had a little bit of an issue getting it to use secondary commands (decided to use Ctrl-Ctrl to switch boxes instead of the default), but once I rebooted the boxes and the unit, it worked perfectly.

KVM worked great for a couple months and then lost the keyboard side USB and will not switch between computers. Would buy another but afraid it would not last.

Comments about Cables To Go Trulink™ 2-Port VGA and USB Micro KVM with Audio:

What a relief. This KVM switch has worked perfectly since I connected it between my laptop and desktop PCs. Switching between one PC and another is smooth and problem-free.

What a contrast with the cheap Belkin "Flip" KVM I tried before this one. There was always a delay when switching, and the mouse would halt and "stutter" for several seconds before behaving normally. Sometimes the mouse and keyboard wouldn't work. Then my desktop PC started crashing, making it impossible to boot Windows. As soon as I removed the Belkin KVM, everything was fine.

IMHO, you're much better off with this superior product. Nice job, CTG!

Comments about Cables To Go Trulink™ 2-Port VGA and USB Micro KVM with Audio:

I just started to work from home exclusively with two different computers, and I needed a KVM to switch between them. I always wanted a reason to have a KVM switch, and now I have one! This item fits the bill nicely and is priced reasonably.

Works great and allows me to switch seemlessly from one computer to another. It does require all UCB accesories but that was a minor inconvenience. Great value for the cost.

Comments about Cables To Go Trulink™ 2-Port VGA and USB Micro KVM with Audio:

Took a reset to get it to work but that was probably operator error . Also Tested and used Logitech Nano MX wireless mouse in the usb mouse port of the switch and works flawlessly . Hot Key [scroll lock] is awesome , no push button switch to change to other pc . Enables the ability to hide the switch .

Service & Delivery comments:

As always Delivery from Cables to go ... Very Dependable and fast .

Comments about Cables To Go Trulink™ 2-Port VGA and USB Micro KVM with Audio:

We have a classroom where we have a In-focus projector connected to the installed PC. However we often have guest speakers that come with their own laptops. Previously they would disconnect the desktop cable to connect to their laptop. Now with the Trulink™ 2-Port VGA and USB Micro KVM with Audio switch we can have a cable on the desktop for the laptop and we no longer have to mess with the connections to the PC that never got reconnected. Thanks for this inexpensive tool during this tight budget season.
