After trying out a couple of KVM switches, this is the one that met my requirement 100%. My setup is a bit unusual in that it involves both VGA (from a server computer) and DVI-D (from desktop computer). The experience with different KVM switches - including StarTech.com 2 Port DVI USB KVM Switch which I reviewed in some detail - has shown that integrated (DVI-I) KVM switches do not cope well where there is a mix of analogue and digital and unfortunately there is no pre-warning of this pitfall by manufacturers (at least not explicitly). This KVM is designed specifically where analogue VGA and digital DVI graphics need to be switched, and must be a testament to the fact that the DVI-I interface (which combines analogue VGA and DVI-D interface)

This is a really handy unit. I use it to switch between my work laptop and home desktop, both of which are driving two displays. It is far less fiddly than using the monitor input selects along with a simple USB switch for the keyboard and mouse. I'm not using the audio functionality as I use a hardware mixer to combine the audio from the two computers and my phone.I'm using an Amazon basics wireless mouse and that works fine.The cables plugging into the rear of the unit are quite close together so can be a bit fiddly, but once set up, hopefully it will not need to be changed very often. One tip that I have is to label all of the cables as this makes it much easier.I was a bit torn if I should go for the dual DVI option or the DVI/VGA.

Solid, heavy design and simple operation, but connections for mouse and keyboard have been problematic.Installation for the screens was simple and I have two dual screen HP workstations rigged to switch seamlessly between screens at the touch of a button using display port to DVI cables from the PC's and DVI to DVI cables from the console ports to the existing screens. There is no issue with resolution and I am running high end CAD software without a hitch.However attaching the mouse and keyboard has not been successful despite following the manufacturer's website instructions. I have standard HP mice and keyboards, (not sophisticated gaming keyboards) that I have plugged into the designated USB ports in order but cannot,

I like this product a lot. It's easy to use and works well. A few issues with the keyboard at first but once I read another review here and followed the advice for usb keyboards the device is faultless. Now happily switch between laptop and desktop. Only thing to note is no shared ethernet. Wasn't expecting it to have one but it's now the only connection I have to manually switch.

Its difficult to get very excited about a switching device. I followed the instructions, plugged it in; it worked first time. I am now seamlessly switching between my desktop PC and my laptop (via a docking station). Both machines run 64-bit Windows 7. Keyboard, mouse, USB, speakers, microphones and two Iiyama AS4637 monitors all switch perfectly. Job done!

I got this product so i could use my macbook as a desktop pc without having t faff about unplugging monitor cables, mouse, keyboard etc.. from my desktop windows computer.This product does exactly what it says it does. nothing to install just easy plug and play. only downside is that it seems a little pricey for a box that just switches between two pc's.
