AI-generated summary
ATEN’s CS692 is one of those “just works” KVM options if you need basic control of two computers from a single set of keyboard/mouse and monitor. For £64.10 ex‑VAT, that’s genuinely reasonable value—especially in a UK office or small workshop where the priority is saving desk space and avoiding constant cable swaps. The ATEN name also matters here: these switches tend to behave predictably when used day-to-day, which is exactly what you want in a shared admin/IT role or a call-centre style environment.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re expecting anything fancy like heavy-duty peripheral switching or seamless “we never touch it” long-session gaming/creative workloads. If your setup involves lots of bandwidth-hungry workflows, or you need robust support for more complex peripheral mixes, it’s worth stepping up to a more capable unit rather than trying to stretch a basic KVM. But for simple dual-PC monitoring, training rigs, and general back-office use? This is the kind of sensible, cost-effective purchase you won’t regret.
