Review on 🖥️ StarTech.com 2-Port Professional KVM Switch - 1U Rackmount KVM Switch - 2-Port - High Resolution: 1920 x 1440 (SV231) by Steve Rohde

Well-Working KVM Switches

Does what it says on the box and works well for the most part. I have 2 PCs: XP Pro and Win 7 Ultimate. One for remote work, the other for personal use. Both PCs sometimes mix up screen resolutions when transitioning from the splash screen or booting up when not selected, but that annoyance is offset by the solid metal construction and ease of setup and use when everything is working well. other switches in this price range seem to have more serious problems. It seems to be the least bad switch. that's a bit hard! Arrived in Revane Prime at night. Comes with good instruction manual. The maximum supported VGA resolution is 1920 x 1440.2. Green lights indicate which computers are powered on, and half red to indicate which one is selected. Satisfactory beep when switching. The supplied VGA/USB cables are of very good quality and the picture quality does not noticeably deteriorate. This is important as I use high resolution spreadsheets. Keyboard and mouse worked perfectly. Conclusion: I am very satisfied.

Pros
  • hot-swappable capability that allows you to add or remove computers without worrying about rebooting other connected systems.
Cons
  • Can I add anything?
