Manufacturer description

The TRENDnet TK-207K 2-Port USB KVM Switch lets you run two computers from one keyboard, one mouse and one VGA monitor. You don't need a second desk setup, and you don't have to keep swapping cables. You switch computers with the front-panel push buttons or with keyboard hot key commands. The hot keys also start an auto-scan mode, and you get an audible tone when the switch changes. Video runs over VGA/SVGA HDB 15-pin connectors at resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 at 60Hz, so the switch suits CRTs, older LCDs and retro PC builds that still output analog video. The box includes everything you…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored TRENDnet 2-Port USB KVM Switch using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro graphics & video category. TRENDnet's retro graphics & video lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for retro graphics & video of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the TRENDnet TK-207K need a power adapter?

No. The TK-207K draws power from the included KVM cables when they're plugged into your computers' USB ports, so it doesn't need an external adapter.

What is the maximum resolution of the TK-207K KVM switch?

It supports VGA/SVGA resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 at a 60Hz refresh rate over HDB 15-pin connectors.

Can I use an HDMI or DisplayPort monitor with this switch?

Not directly. The TK-207K has only VGA/SVGA HDB 15-pin video ports. To use a digital-only monitor or computer you'd need a separate adapter, so check that adapter's compatibility first.

Are cables included with the TRENDnet TK-207K?

Yes. The kit includes two 1.2m (4 ft.) KVM cable sets. Each set has a VGA/SVGA male-to-male lead and a USB Type A lead, one set for each computer.

How do I switch between the two computers?

Press the front-panel push buttons or use the keyboard hot key commands. The hot keys also start auto-scanning, and the switch plays an audible tone when it changes computers.
