Two-Port VGA KVM Switch

This two-port VGA KVM switch lets one keyboard, mouse and monitor control two computers. It is aimed at home-office users or small labs that need to share a single VGA display and USB 2.0 peripherals between a pair of legacy systems without installing any software.

Video Bandwidth and Resolution Limits

The switch passes analog VGA signals up to 1920*1440 at a rated 200 MHz bandwidth. USB 2.0 peripheral traffic is also routed through the box, so keyboard and mouse response follows the USB 2.0 specification. No audio, digital video or higher-resolution modes are supported by this hardware.

Driver-Free Setup and Cable Requirements

Installation is driver-free: press the front push-buttons to select the active PC while both systems stay powered on. The unit ships without VGA or USB cables, so you must supply two VGA male-to-male leads and two USB A-to-B cables. Missing cables are the most common reason a new switch appears non-functional.

Questions about this item

Which configuration should I pick if I only need to share one keyboard and mouse between two computers?

The switch has a single 2-port layout with push-button selection, so the only choice is whether your two PCs both have VGA and USB ports for the required cables.

What does the 1920*1440 resolution spec mean when I connect two older PCs?

It means the analog VGA path can pass up to 1920 by 1440 pixels at a 200 MHz bandwidth, giving sharp text on CRT or LCD monitors at that resolution.

How does the USB 2.0 interface limit keyboard and mouse performance?

USB 2.0 carries the keyboard and mouse signals through the switch, and the push-button selector changes the active PC without software drivers.
