No cables included? Really, Startech?

This is the 3rd KVM switch I've bought because the first 2 times I bought the wrong types thinking they would work with my setup. While both KVM switches are priced the same as this one, they include all the cables that I will be using for the installation. This switch, on the other hand, comes without a cable! Seriously, Startech, even USB-A to USB-B cables to connect the switch to computers? Shame on you for saving $2 on each of these cables that would have cost you on a $300 unit! This…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Good product. FYI, not compatible with most gaming keyboards.

A lot of research led to this purchase and so far so good. Installed the unit under my desk and with some cables it was a good solution for work and a 3 monitor home system. A few things to watch out for: 1) Latency of the wireless mouse when plugged into the USB port on the mouse. StarTech Solution: Connect your mouse keyboard to one of the "hub" ports. Now it works much better, no lags. 2) Hotkeys don't work. According to StarTech Support, most gaming keyboards are not supported because their

Broke after 2 years of occasional use. Worked very well.

Broken after 2 years of occasional use. Worked very well between switching from my PC to my MAC. I needed this for tech support from home and it worked with 3 monitors, although I had to buy a couple of adapters for newer ports that weren't DVI.

Pros
  • Everything OK!
Cons
  • A long time ago

I bought this from Revain after experiencing one of the well working StarTech dual head dual DVI switches. So I decided I wanted to try a three monitor setup. Ever since StarTech introduced this product, I have purchased it from Revain hoping to get the same level of functionality, comfort and performance. Unfortunately, I am disappointed with this product and StarTech support. I had to use two other Revain switches before I got this one. None of the others even tried to work - switching…

Everything is great EXCEPT keyboard and no cables

PROS: WORKS, video quality is excellent, rack mountable, responsive CONS: Keyboard issue and no cables Long review: I read the review posted by Ansury on 6/25- 11 . I saw his keyboard problem but decided I wouldn't have the same problem or if I did I would find a working solution and bought a 2 port 4 monitor KVM switch. I also had enough cords so I didn't have to buy them, but it emptied my stash. He arrived on time. It arrived well packaged and as advertised. I used rack mounting brackets to…

Pros
  • Fits a lot of people
Cons
  • Reliability

It does its job, but the audio picks up a lot of interference.

The KVM part of the switch works great! But the USB and audio part is not very good. None of my computers recognize my webcam when it's plugged into the switch, so I can't use the 2 extra USB ports. Also, the audio picks up a lot of interference from mice and monitors. Every time I move my mouse, move the scroll wheel, or even play a GIF, I hear static coming out of the speakers connected to the Switch. Even though my wireless headset is connected directly to my computer, I still hear static…

Pros
  • There's something in there
Cons
  • No form needed

Can't get it to work; This device has junk specs, it doesn't even match

. After receiving this unit and searching the internet for a manual, I found that it seemed to only be compatible with DVI-D single - connection. , despite the fact that its female ports are DVI-I. I was able to trace multiple DVI-D single link cables and make sure they were working, but the set top box still refused to send video to my monitors. But there's good news - the USB ports work! It's essentially a $350 switchable USB hub. Don't waste your time or money.

  • . Delivery was very fast

It works, mostly good for computers and accessories

Device works well with a few minor issues. First, as stated in the documentation, it doesn't work with wireless keyboards or mice. Since I was using a wireless mouse (but a wired keyboard), I decided to give it a try anyway. The mouse response became sluggish, and the keyboard itself began repeatedly typing the number "3" (even with the keyboard plugged in). Switching to a wired mouse fixes both issues. Secondly, the device is sometimes responsive, usually when I'm fast-typing, as if prompting…
