Review on StarTech.com USB Powered Dual Port VGA KVM Switch - 2 Port USB VGA Cable KVM Switch with Remote Switch (SV211USB), Black by Albert Gaines

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well but the cables are short

Dual Port HDMI KVM Switch (SV211HDUA). Bought after returning IO Gear GCS62HU. The IO Gear had an issue with distinct green dots all over the screen. Startech is much more generic and sits in the background. IO Gear looks better and looks more impressive, although Startech works well. Startech has much shorter cables, they should be at least 12-18 inches longer. I have both computers on the left side of the desk, but you can buy them if you're lucky and just position them correctly. The wireless mouse dongle is too far in the required place. away from the wireless mouse and the function was poor. Luckily I was able to connect the mouse to the USB extension cable. With Startech you can also use a wireless mouse and keyboard on the same dongle. In this case it is convenient. Startech is about $20 more expensive than IO Gear.

  • Don't waste too much time
