StarView DVI/VGA Dual Monitor Switch with 4 Port, keyboard and mouse switch,
By Tai "Technologist" (Croydon Surrey UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Startech.com 4 Port DVI VGA Dual Monitor KVM Switch USB with Audio and USB 2.0 Hub (Personal Computers)
Its is a mechanical switch. It does the job but not that great. If you use Cyboard or reprogrammable keyboard, mouse, the switch turns it into an ordinary items. The reprogrammable mouse as long has been reprogrammed before and has its own the memory, it works fine but it will not be reprogrammable unless it direct plug to the desktop.The DVI connection you see the screen has little lines running across the screen with 1920x1200 resolution. Perhaps it works fine on a lower resolution Its ideal for office use but for gaming combine with application relying on programmable prepherals it is not that perfect but useable. There are workarounds but it is not reliable. The application for reprogramming keyboard and mouse are blocked as well. It is a good product as specified, dont hope for more flexibility is a switch with minimum intelligence.

Looks great but has a few problems,
By J K Williams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Startech.com 4 Port DVI VGA Dual Monitor KVM Switch USB with Audio and USB 2.0 Hub (Personal Computers)
Prior to buying the StarView I used a TRENDnet TK-409K switch. That switch worked great, but it could not handle DVI-D video, which is why I bought this unit.The good: The unit looks very clean on my desk. All the cables come out the back (unlike with the TRENDnet). The buttons are all on the front, which I like. The lights and buttons are well-designed. The bad: The DVI-D ports are so close together that I cannot have two of my StarTech DVI-I cables plugged into adjacent ports. You would think that a unit manufactured by StarTech would work with StarTech cables! Since only two of my computers use DVI, I was able to stagger the plugs. One of my four Dell PCs does not recognize the keyboard when I first turn the PC on. It pops up a message wanting me to type a character before it will proceed (which I cannot do, since it does not recognize the keyboard I have plugged into the StarView). I solved that problem by taking a spare keyboard and leaving it permanently plugged into that PC. I don't type on that keyboard, but it makes the PC happy. The keyboard input on the StarView unit has serious problems. It occasionally will drop a character that I know I typed. Certain key combinations cause it to output a never-ending stream of characters. For example, right-Alt-m (the right-Alt key in combination with 'm') will send an Alt-m followed by 'ddddd...' The repeating characters will continue until I hit another key. I reported this to StarTech's customer support. To my amazement, they were unwilling to try the offending key combination on one of their own units! Even though I experienced the same problem with three different keyboards and four different PCs, they insisted the problem was with my configuration! They told me that the StarView used to have this problem but that I have one of the units manufactured after they fixed it. I solved the problem by plugging the keyboard into one of the generic USB ports. The keyboard now works fine, but it has no hotkey capability. The only way to switch computers is to push one of the buttons on the front of the unit.

Great KVM Switch,
By impressed enough to review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Startech.com 4 Port DVI VGA Dual Monitor KVM Switch USB with Audio and USB 2.0 Hub (Personal Computers)
I originally had a KVM that did not support DVI & VGA or have the capacity to switch audio. It took at least 6 to 8 times in pressing buttons to get the screen to change computers successfully. Within a month, that KVM switch crashed. Though a bit pricier than I wanted to pay, I'm thrilled with this KVM switch's performance. Very easy hook-up and never fails to switch on command. I highly recommend this switch if anyone is dealing with computers with different video hook-ups. The audio is an added bonus, as I always have a headset need and didn't like having to change headsets each time I changed to the other computer.
