The need for many SOHO users to share peripherals beyond the typical keyboard, monitor and mouse, has led to the addition of USB sharing to ATEN's (CS172) two-port KVM switch. High resolution video (up to 1920 x 1440) and most enhanced wheel mice are supported by the ATEN CS172, while PS/2 to serial mouse translation allows both PS/2 and Serial computers to be controlled with a PS/2 mouse. A single downstream USB port is shared among the two computers, but the number of shared USB devices can be expanded by connecting a USB hub. Now you can share your USB scanner, mouse, joystick, or any other USB device among your two PCs or Macintosh systems*. Because the ATEN CS172 fully complies with the latest USB standards, you can be sure your USB devices will function to their full potential when connected to the ATEN CS172. Macintosh support requires ATEN's PS/2 to Mac adapter (CV160). CS172 Manual (PDF)
