Postby Sean » Sat Dec 19, 2009 2:47 pm

I have 4 computers and want to be used conveniently, and save my money. For example, I don't want buy 4 sets of mice, keyboard, monitor, speaker, and webcams. How can I use my four computers without from one to another? I am so tired to control them. One day, one of my friends advised me to buy a KVM switch. I have no idea of it, and then I get some information about it from internet. KVM is an abbreviation of keyboard, video and mouse. KVM switch can control two or more computers by one keyboard, monitor and mouse. Some kvm switch has hotkeys in order to switch from one to another computer.
It can be used by a company or at home. Using the kvm switch can save lots of money in company. It allows all kinds of employers control different computers from one workspace by one keyboard, monitor and mouse. Over 500 computers can be controlled by a commercial kvm switch from one working area, which is incredible. At home, if we have more than one computer, we can also use it to save our time, money and space.
How to choose a kvm switch? What should be confirmed? There are various types according to different configuration. At first, we should know how many computers it can control. Besides we should make sure that the switch we bought should be compatible with our monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Also we should ask the seller how long the cable coming with the kvm switch is. After finishing installing, we can use this product at home. It is wonderful to have one kvm switch.
