This was easy to set up. I attached two MAC computers (Mac Mini and MacBook) and the switcher worked very well. I only attached my keyboard to the switcher’s USB port because I could attach my mouse to the keyboard, so I used only one USB port on the switcher. The video for the MacBook came up instantly but the video on the Mac Mini came on for an instant and then immediately went into screen saver mode. However, just pushing a key brought up the video and it stayed on. I had trouble with line noise with the audio. The audio was O.K. for one of the computers (Mac Mini), but there was an irritating hum with the MacBook. I decided to detach the audio from the switcher and use each computer’s own audio. I’m not wild about the mess of cables that this set-up creates, but I think I can solve that problem by placing the switcher on my keyboard shelf – to the left and back – and the cables won’t show. However, I’ll need to find an extenstion cable for the monitor’s DVI – if such a thing exists.
