While the KM switch only requires you to plug a self-contained USB 2.0 cable into two computers, the Wormhole Station includes a fairly-rare USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 mini cable to connect to the host machine, another USB 2.0 to Mini USB 2.0 cable for the client, and an AC adapter to power the additional ports and a glowing blue LED. It works just as well, but it’s incredibly pricy at $130 and probably more trouble than it’s worth. Speaking of alternate versions, j5 Create does sell another variant of the Wormhole: it’s a shiny silver cylinder called the Wormhole Station, which marries the same functionality to a three-in-one card reader and a USB 3.0 hub. What we really want is a USB 3.0 Wormhole that works with any operating system.

and honestly, even the full bandwidth of USB 2.0 isn't quite speedy enough to transfer large amounts of data between computers. The company says it's got a Mac-specific version in development, but won't say when it's due.

Yes, even though j5 Create's glossy white plastic and shiny silver aluminum products look just like they're designed to connect to Apple products (and some are even photographed together) the Wormhole software doesn't work at all on Mac. For some, though, the most annoying omission will be Mac support.

It's also slightly annoying that the dongles will always prompt you to install WMKLoader even when it's already installed. Multi-monitor setups are supported, but you have to use the mouse and keyboard of the system that the extra monitors are attached to if you want to access all the screens - if, say, you've got a three-monitor desktop and a laptop, the laptop will only be able to transfer control between itself and the desktop's primary display. It can be a little jarring switching between screens - sometimes it feels like you have to give the mouse cursor a strong push to gain control of the other computer. Though the Wormhole KM Switch certainly does its job well, there's definitely room for improvement. Meanwhile, on the mouse front, even my wireless rodents, connected via USB hub, had no additional lag to speak of. While we're on the subject of keyboards, I also noticed that not all of mine worked equally well with the Wormhole - my $60 Logitech G110 had trouble getting simultaneous keypresses through, even as my $10 no-name keyboard (and the laptop's built-in keys) worked fine no matter my typing speed. There is one minor nitpick here though: each keyboard and mouse set is treated as a pair, so you can only use a particular keyboard on the screen where its corresponding mouse cursor is active. What's more, the whole keyboard / mouse sharing is bidirectional, so you can use one computer to control the other and vice versa without having to reverse the cable or designate a host machine. The program's not quite sophisticated enough to drag web browser tabs across the USB connection, but it does copy your Windows clipboard - we were able to copy and paste files, snippets of text and even full desktop screenshots taken with the Print Screen button with no perceptible down time. You can drag and drop files right from one computer onto the other at USB 2.0 speeds, and we measured average transfer rates of 30MB/s read and 20MB/s write when moving large video files. By default, you can move your mouse cursor right off the edge of one computer and on to the next, and take things with it, too.

Once you've got both ends of that cable securely affixed to your computers, it doesn't feel too different from having an additional external monitor attached to your PC - except, of course, that the second monitor has its own CPU, graphics and storage to deal with.
