Gadget Stimulus Plan Day 9: ATEN USB KVM Switch

| March 27, 2009 | 42 Comments

We’re trying to close your gadget deficit while the economy’s in the dumps with the Gadget Stimulus Plan. Today we’re giving away an ATEN USB KVM Switch that makes it easy to control two PCs at once. Just plug each end of the KVM cable into each of your PC’s USB ports and you can control both computers with a single keyboard and mouse. There’s no software to download or install.

A KVM switch is useful for users who often switch between PCs or need to use two computers simultaneously.

The ATEN KVM USB Laptop Switch retails for $94.85 and is available at many online retailers, including Buy.com and NewEgg.com.
