ATEN CE770 KVM extender Transmitter & receiver

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

ATEN’s CE770 KVM extender (transmitter + receiver) is the kind of kit you buy when you *actually* need control from a different desk—without dragging cables across the office like an octopus. In day-to-day terms, it’s aimed at “one PC, multiple users/locations” situations: shared rooms, reception/ops areas, training setups, or when a server/PC has to sit somewhere you can’t conveniently reach. ATEN tends to hold up well on reliability, and this is the sort of solution where the real value is reduced faff and fewer “why is USB behaving weird today?” moments compared with DIY/cheap extenders.

That said, it’s not a great buy if you’re just trying to add a bit of distance for a single monitor/keyboard setup—because you’re paying for a proper KVM extender, not a generic USB link. Also, don’t underestimate compatibility testing: KVMs often care about how devices enumerate (especially keyboards, some smartcards, or finicky peripherals), so it’s worth confirming your exact mix of USB devices before committing. At ~£338 ex-VAT, it’s good value when you’ll use it regularly and you genuinely need extension (and KVM control), but hard to justify if your requirements are short-range or mostly “nice to have.”
