The Taiwanese company ATEN has introduced a new switch which has the capacity to connect two computers. One of the
advantages that users will appreciate is that the device integrates the support of loudspeakes and microphone. The model that
we have tested allows users to independently switch the audio and KVM focus between the computers. User can input sound to
two computers (to one after the other) and listen to the sound output of both computers (of one at a time) via one single
microphone and one single set of speakers. As users tend to have more than one computer, the number of switches being used
is growing very fast. Currently, the number of home users with two computers is exponentially growing. Although this device
seems to be complex at first sight, it really is a very helpful and easy to use product for users who work with two computers, a
web server or video applications at home. This device facilitates the move from one equipment to the other without having to
change the keyboard or mouse.
