Control Two Computers From One Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor
A desk with two computers and two keyboards is cluttered and confusing. The 2 port KVM switch lets you control two computers from one PS/2 console, meaning one keyboard, one mouse and one monitor, and switch between the computers with a button or hotkey.
KVM stands for keyboard, video and mouse. This model uses PS/2 connectors for the keyboard and mouse, which are older but still common on some computers and servers. Ask our team to confirm whether it also supports USB devices.

Where It Works Best
It suits server rooms, repair benches, testing desks, offices and anyone who manages two computers and wants to use a single set of peripherals.
Buying Guide: What to Check First
Ask our team whether the switch uses VGA for the monitor, supports PS/2 only or also USB and whether it comes with cables. Check that your computers have the right ports, as many modern PCs lack PS/2. Confirm the maximum resolution.
Installation and Setup Tips
Connect your keyboard, mouse and monitor to the console ports, then use the supplied cables to connect each computer. Switch everything on, and press the button or hotkey to select a computer. Test the keyboard and mouse on both.
What KVM Means
K stands for keyboard, V for video and M for mouse. A KVM switch shares these three between several computers. It is different from a simple video switch, which shares only the monitor. If you need to control computers, a KVM is the right tool.
PS/2 vs USB
PS/2 is an older round connector, still found on some desktops and servers. USB is the modern standard. If your computers use USB, choose a USB KVM. If they use PS/2, this switch is a good fit. Ask us if you are unsure.
Using a KVM in a Server Room
In server rooms, a KVM lets you manage several servers from one console. Label ports clearly, use good cables and keep the switch cool. Neat cabling makes maintenance easier.
Setting Up Your KVM Safely
Switch off both computers before connecting the KVM cables, then connect keyboard, mouse and monitor to the console ports. Power on the computers one at a time, and wait for each to boot fully before switching. If the keyboard or mouse does not respond, restart the computer with the KVM connected. Label the cables so you know which belongs to which computer, which saves time when you troubleshoot.
