Works with Linux and works great!

I only unpacked it today but it works right out of the box and is solidly built. I was hesitant to go with KVM but from what I read about it it seemed like the right choice. I have a Windows box and 3 CentOS boxes all connected and able to switch through them. I didn't even have to change my old Logitech K260 keyboard combo mouse. KVM just works, way better than some of the ones I've dealt with in the past. The main downside is that the power adapter for the USB hub isn't included, but it's not

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Easy to repair

Great switch for computer components

I don't use the video portion of this switch because I need to see all the PC monitors at all times, so I need 7 monitors on my desk. Using a mouse and keyboard switch was my main reason for purchasing this switch. It switches between PCs in 1-2 seconds each time and I switch 20-30 times a day with no problems. I found the built in USB hub to be very useful as well and a plus. I'm switching a USB hard drive to a hub and it takes about 20-30 seconds for the computer to recognize the drive after…

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Minor issues

If you're a gamer or performance freak, look elsewhere

I tried the following results along with fast switching: 1. Keyboard drop CTRL (backlit)2. Manjaro desktop (based on Arch Linux)3. A Macbook Pro was prepared for work. I couldn't get the keyboard to work on any port. PWAY KVM was the only one that worked with this combination.

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Appearance

Works great and allows me to finally get all my .

Works great and finally allows me to easily use all my devices. Keyboard switching works great, as does video switching. Compared to the cheap KVM devices I've used in the past, the difference is day and night. It costs a lot more than cheap KVMs, but you get what you pay for. In particular, the KM emulation (which essentially makes all devices believe that the keyboard/mouse is always connected no matter which device is being controlled) saves when working with servers. No more hassle with…

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Unsafe

Very easy to set up and use; Great design, quality and price

High quality design, very easy to use, small and compact. I didn't use/require technical support, so no review on this. The only thing to know is that the special cables required are not included in the scope of delivery, but are also available from Revain at a really good price.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • poorly thought out

USB KVM Outstanding Score

I wanted to add a USB KVM Switch to my computer network by replacing the PS/2 KVM Switch. One of the key requirements was a rack-mounted desktop clear switch. I researched various switches and settled on StarTech KVM because the multi-star reviews were positive and the multiple 1 and 2 stars focused on missing some features that people needed. Since I didn't need these features (hot switching from the keyboard), I chose StarTech. And it was a great choice. In terms of construction, it's rock…

Pros
  • GOLS Certified
Cons
  • Bad Impression
