ATEN CS62A KVM switch Black, Silver

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £24.40 ex-VAT, the ATEN CS62A is the kind of budget KVM you buy when you just need the basics to work reliably—one console controlling two computers, with straightforward switching and no fuss. If you’re a small office reseller setup, a back-office role that doesn’t live in “fancy” peripherals, or you’ve got older desktops that all need to share a keyboard/mouse without constantly unplugging, this is exactly the sweet spot. ATEN generally keeps these simple models dependable, and that matters more than flashy features when you’re trying to stop downtime.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you need modern, high-end workstation setups, lots of extra peripherals, or you’re hoping to avoid compatibility quirks with certain monitor/graphics setups. The “value” here is mostly in the low cost and simplicity—so if your environment is more complex (multiple displays, tricky USB devices, etc.), you’ll likely end up wanting a more capable unit even if it costs more. In short: buy it for small, straightforward two-PC sharing; skip it if you’re doing anything beyond the common keyboard/mouse/single-display workflow.
