Is the little button to switch between computers detachable?

No. Nothing in the package is detachable from that rectangular box. So I'd be careful not to wear any of it.

No. It is wired to the main box. Switch works well with wired keyboard and wireless mouse. It didn't work with wireless keyboard for some reason.

No it does not detach. It is a very well made and functional cross between a laptop and a tablet. You can use it either way. I have had NO problems with mine after more than a year of daily use. Hooking it to a USB 3.0 docking station allows me to use multiple monitors, external hard drives, etc. while at my desk. It should, however, come with some type of protector for the screen, which is always exposed and therefore attracts dirt and fingerprints.

Yes, I have a laptop and a desktop connected - I have disconnected the Laptop and the switch still works with the Desktop.

It is a 'Hot Swap' function button. It allows you to remove an existing drive and attach a different one. It works well.

no since it is pluged into the computer during use. you can use it with more than one computer but seperatly. it works great but only on one computer at a time.

No there isn't. You have to push the button to change from one source input to another. I know it sucks to have to get up on occasion but life can be like that sometimes.

No. Each is completely independent from the other when switched. Only sharing would be through the available USB ports for an external drive that can be accessed by either attached computer at any given time. Hope that answers your inquiry.

Removable, just like a standard USB thumb drive. On macs you do need to eject before disconnecting.

No, it is not. You can only turn it to switch between a conventional laptop and a tablet

The switch is equivalent of you unplugging the device from one computer and then plugging it into another computer. From other comments I see it even works if you extend the output with a USB hub. I see no reason why this wouldn't work.

actually you use one monitor, keyboard and mouse between two computers. You switch what the display is showing with a simple button.

Afraid not. The switching happens on the 2 side. So 4 peripherals across 2 comps (or DVRs in your case). The button just toggles back and forth between the 2 connections. I use it to share mouse/keyboard across 2 comps.

I have this between a Mac Mini and PC, the switch over is instant when one of the computers is turned off. I have never tried to toggle between them when they both are running, my HP monitor will not auto stitch between them so I just use one or the other depending on what I want to do.

No. There is only 1 button. On my system it is right click by default but you may be able to change it through your systems drivers.

No, it's for the KVM switch, to enable the use of 2 computers with one Keyboard, Video Monitor and Mouse

Yes, but its built into the computer, so you can't take it out without taking it apart.

No, this switch is pretty basic. I believe this switch is for home and small (really small) office use. Cool tool to use for learning routing and switching but not for big time configuration. Hope it helps.
