Amazon Verified Purchase
A really solid metal box, this KVM switch appears to be working well so far. However, previous StarTek KVM boxes have come with composite cables that included video, USB and audio connections. This item does not come with any cables and the purchase of HDMI and USB cables is a significant extra expense - if you wish to make the audio connections, you also need four audio cables.
The device is very much plug and go but the computers to which it was connected required a few reboots before responding correctly to the keyboard and mouse. In particular, the mouse caused a few problems because initially some programs did not respond correctly and the computer would only wake up from "sleep" mode using the keyboard.
I am waiting to see how long the power supply lasts as on previous StarTek KVM switches that I have owned the power supply gave out within a matter of weeks.
Had this item included cables, I would more than likely have rated it highly but their omission saves StarTek only a few pence but costs the buyer significantly extra.

No Ready For Prime Time
10 Jan 2011
This unit does not function very well so do not buy it until they make MAJOR improvements.
While it switches two computers with HDMI pretty well (sometimes you must hit the button a couple of times to activate the mouse) it drops keystrokes at a rate of about four to five characters per sentence. I know I am not the best typist in the world but this thing just does not sense a keyboard well and if you type anything at all you will triple your effort trying to correct all the dropped keystrokes (there were ten errors in this sentence alone).
I bought this on another web site and paid about the same but this thing is just a very expensive door stop. As soon as I can find the IOGear switch I will try that one as this is just too useless. The really idiotic thing is there is no way to upgrade the firmware so you are stuck with whatever you get out of the box.

Works OK, could be better
16 Nov 2011
Solid metal construction and simple operation.
I had some trouble with duplicated or dropped characters using the dedicated USB keyboard port. I switched to one of the regular USB ports and it works fine.
I connect my 24" display, mouse, keyboard, and two printers to this KVM so that I can share them between my personal desktop PC and my work laptop docking station in my home office.
