Old tech but it works

I'm fairly disappointed at how old this tech is, but it most likely works exactly as it was designed. Those PS2 ports are not for show, they are required. This device does not work unless you have the PS2 ports on the back connected to your computers. The folks who gave this one star and said it didn't work probably didn't connect the PS2 ports. You don't have to use the input PS2 ports for this to work, fortunately, as I don't think they've made a PS2 mouse in about 15 years and my USB to PS2 converter didn't seem to do the trick. I would have given this 5 stars 10 years ago, but today it's going to be hard to find a use for this device.

2d Review

Did not work. Worked great with one PC attached, with the second connected all I got was flashing lights. Did not need a KVM for just one PC.

PROS: Low cost.

CONS: Does not work.

So far so good.

Have been testing the KVM off and on for a few days. So far it seems to work great.

PROS: Good price.

CONS: I cannot expect cables for this price but a link to cables would be nice. Also, these days, a USB KBM instead of PS/2 would be great.

Same as other reviews

This item did not work for me. It doesn't look like the PS2 issue has been cleared up but I'm not using any PS2 devices (Mouse or keyboard) and not sure if that's causing the issue. I have a computer and Playstation 4 (HDMI to DVI cable) hooked up and get no green lights or any display. Dissatisfied with this since it was a Christmas gift and was looking forward to using it

Exact same problem as

I had the exact same problem as other reviewers. The KVM switch had no interest in actually SWITCHING.

PROS: It was cheap?

CONS: Everything but the price. Didn't work.

Two Red Lights and Won't Work

I have my two computers hooked up to the unit. There are two red lights on the front, but no green ones as the super short instructions said there will be. Pressing the buttons on the front makes the unit beep, but the screens don't switch and the colors don't change.

PROS: None

CONS: PS2 and quality issues

Response from Monoprice

Hi Jameson,

Thank you for your review and truly sorry to hear about you experience with PID 4074. Has this worked properly for you initially? For troubleshooting purposes, have you tried switching the cables or connecting to a different source or display to see if that changes anything? Another thing you can try is power cycling the switch.

Disconnect everything from the switch including power and cables. After about 5 minutes, plug everything back in and power everything back on. Also try powering everything on from the display and work backwards in the chain to the source device.

Please let me know if the above steps yield any results. Thank you for your cooperation in the matter.

PROS: DVI switch

CONS: Doesnt work for me. I dont have any ps2 devices though, maybe thats why?

2 port DVI KVM Switch

Paid shipping cost to get the product and shipping costs to return. Where is the RMA shipping label.

PROS: none

CONS: You have to be using PS2 ports in order for this to work. What PC manufacturer uses PS2 ports today?
