Review on 🖥️ StarTech.com 2 Port KVM Switch - Dual Monitor DVI/VGA with Audio, USB Hub - Efficient Screen Sharing (SV231DDVDUA) by Payton Luna

KVM Switch Works. most of time. I currently use a (personal) desktop and 2 (work) laptops and occasionally another laptop too, so I use it A LOT in my home office. I had another KVM switch which I (never) had no problems with, but I "upgraded" it to use 2 monitors (with 2 different types of video cables) and after about 6 months is is it the most frustrating experience. About 25% of the time when I dock my laptop I get a popup saying the resolution (1960 x something) isn't supported and I need to change it. Umm I haven't changed it since I used it with the dock and KVM a few hours ago huh? I take the laptop out of the dock and back in and that solves the problem. (Sometimes I have to do this twice). The same when he falls asleep. Seems totally unnecessary (and it hasn't happened with the latest KVM) And what's really annoying (and has happened 4 times in the last 10 minutes) is when it beeps and goes to sleep/hibernation mode (as if you not used the computer). in a while). when I type. So I stop, curse a bit, press the spacebar a few times, and it wakes up again, although my windows often switch from one monitor to another. It's annoying. From a design point of view, the ports on the back are very densely packed and it's difficult to get your fingers in. Which wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't want to unplug my wireless mouse to take with me when I work elsewhere. very hard to grasp. It would be nice if the keyboard and mouse USB drives were a little easier to access. But what annoys me the most is all the "hiccups" it displays - I'd say it gives me a permissions "error" at least once a week. I don't want to spend another $200 on a better KVM, but I'm on the verge of it. In general - if you only use your KVM occasionally, this is probably sufficient. If you are a pro using it multiple hours a day. buy something else.
