Works flawlessly most of time
Been using for over 6 months, between a windows 10 machine and a mac mini. Works 90% of the time. The mouse gets stuck at times and will not switch. Keyboard works on both machines but caps lock and num lock do not work correctly as you switch machines.

Great Product
Connected 2 Windows 10 machines together with no problems. Software even downloaded an update immediately. Using it for a week now and I'm a programmer. I switch back and forth between the computers hundreds of times during the day. Definitely work the money. Only issue I had was the num locks key does not seem to be holding on the 2nd computer. Otherwise, love the product.

Upgrade failed
I've had this for a couple years. Recently got a new mac 10.14.6 but when I tried to upgrade, the cable stoped working completely. Is there a way to reInitialize from scratch ????

Ultimately, It Works
Not intuitive. Instructions get Martian at just the wrong motion. Eventually, if you label your machines correctly, you notice the cursor moves from one computers' monitor to the other. Then it gets easier, though it should be considerably better all the way around. A step above ASCII.

Fiddle and Tweak
For SVKMS2. I am running an i7 and i5 side by side. Both with Win 10 and both with same resolution monitors. Also, I shut down both computers every night. When I reboot the next morning, the 'master' red icon shows up in the task bar but not on the 'slave' computer. Reinserting the 'slave' usb fixed that. Also going from the primary to the secondary monitor worked but going back to the primary monitor required me to click the scroll button each time.
Final solution was to plug the secondary usb into a 3.0 port and leave the primary in the usb 2.0 port. That solved everything, including being able to easily switch between monitors or transfers files. Great product!
