Works like a charm [Posted on 2007-05-29]
No issues, plugged it in and solved my problems (well, at least that one) immediately.
This thing just doesn't work [Posted on 2007-08-18]
this is one of 2 4-port KVM switches I bought. Neither one worked very well at all. I finally just unhooked it and threw it back into a box with the linksys.
Oh, why did I buy 2? Because the first one didn't work so I bought another. When that one didn't work I figured out a way to use the 2 port KVM switch I started with.
Great KVM and how to test your systems for compatibility [Posted on 2007-09-11]
This is my second KVM from Connectpro. My first one (a two port) worked reliably every day for over 4 years. I only replaced the 2 port Connectpro with this 4 port one because I needed to handle more than 2 computers.
This Connectpro switches between 3 Dell computers. A 2400 running XP, a 8200 running XP, and a 351 running Vista.
Keyboard, monitor and mouse switch in LESS THAN A SECOND
HOW TO FIND OUT IF THIS SWITCH WILL WORK FOR YOU: There is NO mystery here. Simply disconnect and reconnect your USB mouse and USB keyboard while your computers are running and see what happens. Try booting your computer without the mouse and keyboard connected. You have then perfectly simulated this switch.
On a technical note: my new Dell Inspiron 531 with Vista refused to fully boot without the keyboard connected and generated an error message saying that. One simple change in the bios - "don't halt on error from keyboard" eliminated that minor problem. Even without that change, the system would boot once I had selected that system on the switch.
Finally this device is USB 2.0 compliant and not 1.1. The manual is outdated. I confirmed this with Connectpro's tech support (who answer their phone on the first ring and speak real English). I also verified this by using the device on these three systems and confirming, via the device manager, that it was recognized as 2.0 compliant.
The only thing lacking is the ability to switch the audio between multiple systems to a single set of speakers.
If you are unhappy with this unit you have not done the tests I've recommended.
The unit ships with 4 video cables and 4 USB cables - all of which seem high quality.
disappointed [Posted on 2007-12-18]
I have been using this product for about 1 month. I am dissappointed that the mouse is not recognized sometimes on the switch. also, recently I have had all 4 computers say the usb device is corrupt. I have to completely remove all power, unplug all the usb cables, let it sit for awhile and then restart it. It worked for about 30 minutes and did the same corrupt things again. I need to see now what kind of support this product has.

Terrific Product [Posted on 2008-07-22]
The ConnectPro KVM UR-14 works like a charm. Installation was a breeze, and the switch worked perfectly immediately with my wireless keyboard and mouse. I do not notice any significant degradation of resolution on the monitor, but then these old eyes may be suspect. Have not yet connected any peripherals for sharing, but that's the next step. Overall, an excellent product and well worth the money.
