What Customers Say About Starview 2-Port KVM Switch Kit with Cables (PC/Mac):

The installaton was straigt forward the after hook both computers up, they both function well. The Starview 2-port KVM Switch isn't fancy but works.

I had absolutely no problems with the desktop connection. Either one or the other failed to be recognized by the desktop upon switching over from the laptop. What's the point of a 20in monitor if the best resolution I could get is 800x600.Anyway, after a couple of months of sharing nothing but the keyboard and mouse, even that began to fail. The resolution on the laptop was 1440x900. That worked for a while. It was the laptop that proved to be a problem.

I often had to unplug and replug the USB connection to get them to work.I had the same issues using two different laptops. I bought this at the end of May so that I could use one set up with both my desktop (running XP) and my laptop (running Vista). Connection was easy. After going back and forth for a while, and setting and resetting, I found that if I made sure the laptop was the first to start up, the settings would hold.

I reset them, but again when I switched to the desktop, they were once again lost. After that couple of weeks, anytime I switched from the laptop to the desktop and stayed on the desktop from longer than 10mins, the laptop connection "lost" the correct resolution setting. Again that held for a while. At beginning of October, I disconnected it completely.

Sometimes the only resolution I could get on the monitor through the laptop connection was 800x600. On the monitor is was 1280x1024. Eventually it became so frustrating and time consuming, I removed the monitor connection all together. Everything was recognized on the first try.

I even tried connecting the monitor directly to the laptop to make sure the settings were correct and then connected the KVM. This worked for a couple of weeks with no problem. On the laptop I was going from a 15in display to the display on a 20in monitor. After a bit of tweaking, I finally got the laptop connection to display on the monitor under the correct resolution.

and best of all one button switching between computers.It has an extra USB port so you can run a common printer, etc. I tried a different brand KVM first and it was DOA. Just what I needed. for both computers. This one works great. Very easy to set up.

I have had it connected to a couple of test servers and it has worked flawlessly. Starview 2-port KVM is a very good, and reliable switch and behaves well with all my platforms (Mac, Win XP, Ubuntu).

It comes with an AC power adapter,but it works fine for me without the adapter.Overall I give this product thumbs-up, it has been working fine with no glitches or odd behavior at all.To switch between computers you have to press the button on the unit, there is no keyboardshortcut that will toggle between computers, a feature that some other KVM's have.Comes with a pair of bonded KVM cables which are kind of stiff and heavy, as cables go.A VGA-male to VGA-female cable is bonded to a USB-A to USB-B cable.Another plus is that this KVM is covered by a 3-year warranty direct thru Startech. This KVM is made of metal and feels solid and well-built.
