What A Great KVM!
Style: USB | Cables Included
After reading several reviews on this 2-port KVM, I decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did. I just got it today and set it up and though I had a little bit of initial trouble, it seems to be working as I had hoped it would. I can switch between two computers, one a Windows 7 64-bit and the other a Windows XP Pro 32-bit. I did have a little trouble out of the box but that's due more to my limited vision than anything. When I pulled out all the cords I was puzzled how to work with the AC adapter. I kept looking at it and noted a small circle that said "push" and I kept doing that to no avail. Then I got to thinking there might be a second part to that adapter, and sure enough, I missed it first pass in the box but found the other piece, snapped it on and I was in business. Next was doing the hookup. It's pretty darn straightforward. They give you two cables which have VGA attached at one end along with the appropriate flat USB plug to connect to one of your computer's USB ports, that USB plug replaces your mouse and keyboard connection. After I had both VGA and USB's plugged in I then plugged in the keyboard and mouse and monitor to the box and fired up the first computer. As it got into windows it installed the new "hardware" but the keyboard was not fully functional, so I rebooted to see if that would solve the problem, it did. Then I went to boot the second computer and while it booted fine, the mouse light wasn't coming on and neither was the keyboard. After a couple of boots and it still didn't work, I decided to check the wiring again and found the big USB connector for computer #2 had fallen out so I plugged it back in and fired up the computer, the device installed and it all worked like it was supposed to. Then the big test was toggling back and forth between computers, and that worked splendidly. There's just a momentary delay from one computer to the other but no big deal to me, as long as I know the connection is made that's fine. It does seem to do its job as described, it didn't cost me an arm and a leg, and this thing is built very ruggedly so should last a good while. I figure if this unit lasts me until I replace these computers with ones that use DVI plugs or even HDMI, that's fine. as nice as this unit is, if StarTech keeps making them like this I'll upgrade when necessary with one of their units. I initially thought that the lights for each computer were pushbuttons that you could manually select but it doesn't appear that way. You press the scanning button on the right side and it toggles between computers. Very simple to operate. Somebody wrote in one of the recent reviews that they felt this was a Spartan looking KVM and were glad they could hide it from view with all the wiring being in back. I do like that all the wires are in back, I prefer my gear to be that way; however, I LIKE that this is a simplistic looking device that has lights that aren't blindingly bright and on my desk, which is part of a recording studio/DJ setup, it looks like it belongs there. My desk is a techie desk having an audio mixer, keyboard, USB hub, the KVM, a second mixer for audio to the second computer, also there's room for a mouse, my phone, a remote control for a reel to reel tape deck, rack mounted CD players, a mic processor and then a headphone amp next to a production timer. all fit for a radio DJ junkie that produces voiceover material and radio programs. so yeah, the StarTech fits right in with all the other toys. I am still in the testing phase trying to shake out any bugs in this KVM but if t holds up the way it is right now I'll be happy. its $47 price tag through Amazon fit the bill for what I wanted and thus far, this exceeds what I was actually expecting. I'll update if I find anything further, but otherwise I'm happy to give this five stars right now. A very nicely made product and I doubt you will be able to beat it. They do have a four-port model of this type KVM so if you have even more than two PCs or MACs you might consider one of those. Get one of these if you want to link a couple of computers together, I'm certainly glad I did. ... show more

Pretty good overall - just a couple problems
Style: USB | Cables Included
I use this KVM with the power connected, but you can also use it on USB power alone. I believe having the power connected to it improves the screen resolution and the USB hub operation, but I have not tested this theory extensively. I really like the built-in USB hub for 1 device. I share a printer between the two computers. The button on the front of it switches from one PC to the other without a problem - and beeps when you switch. The beep is not necessary, but it's not annoying either. Screen resolutions from both computers looks fine most of the time. Which leads me to a couple problems I've seen so far. 1) Sometimes the screen resolution after switching from one PC to the other is fuzzy. Switching back and forth seems to fix it. This only happens maybe once in every 50 switches. 2) Sometimes the keyboard does not work after switching. Again, switching back and forth once resolves it. This happens once every 25 switches or so. I don't know if it's my keyboard or not -- it's a Microsoft Natural 4000, so it should be pretty standard. 3) Switching seems to cause the PC you switched from to think you unplugged its keyboard, mouse and monitor. This can cause problems if a program is running that requires constant attachment of any of these devices. 4) I forget sometimes when printing something on the shared printer. If you're in the middle of printing, you cannot switch PCs because the printer becomes 'unplugged' to the PC that's printing and you lose the rest of the document. So, a few improvements and I think this switch will be top-notch. Until then, you may want to look at cheaper ones, although there are not many in this price range with the USB hub. Update (9/22/2011): I have had some problems where one of the two PCs connected to this switch fails to 'connect' to the mouse and keyboard. The screen shows OK, but mouse and keyboard are 'dead' only on the one PC (the other still works OK). I have to reboot the one that's not working to get mouse and keyboard functionality back. Even plugging them directly into it didn't help. So it may just be the laptop that I'm using, but I though I would mention this issue anyway. ... show more

21st Century KVM
Style: USB | Cables Included
The old Startech KVM, while still working, was designed for PS2 keyboards and mice. The modern HP computers would not recognize my USB Logitech wireless Trackman even with external DC connected. I had to use a second USB switch to route the Trackman to the computers. I suppose I might have been able to hotrod the KVM internally; maybe it's a question of better shielding perhaps, a floating ground, or supplying 5vdc directly to the PS2 jack feeding the USB adapter. But I was too lazy for all of that. While this KVM requires external 5 volts DC to function, it works great with the USB wireless Trackball devices; both the old Optical Trackman and our new wireless Trackman (with the blue trackball). Switch action is solid; LED's on the front indicate that computers are powered on as well as selected. Unlike the previous Startech KVM, which had separate mouse and keyboard PS2 type plugs on the umbilical in addition to the VGA connector, the cable on this unit consists only of the VGA connector and a USB plug. The new Startech KVM control unit is thus essentially a USB hub for your keyboard and mouse. This means that when you switch computers, there will be a time delay of a few seconds for that computer to recognize the new USB devices which have essentially just been plugged in. So it is a little slower to engage the second computer. It's still an improvement for me, since I was able to eliminate the second USB switch on my desk to route the Trackman to either of the two computers. It is nice to have just one switch now to route the K, V, and M to the two computers. It is easier to switch, as the select button is in the front of the box; not on the top. All in all, highly recommended. ... show more
