Solid, well built product and easy to use
This is an easy to use and well built product. I tried this, switching from my Apple Mac mini and my Windows PC. The setup was very was easy and simple to use. There appears to be no quality loss for video which was very nice to see. The simple switch design is nice and easy to use. Overall the setup was simple and the way the product works is excellent. I received this...

Does not work with Windows 8.1 Pro / USB3
After multiple attempts at resolving an issue where Windows would display the error "USB device not recognized, has malfunctioned", StarTech recommended returning the product. The computer with the issue worked fine switching back and forth in its BIOS screen, so I ruled out hardware this way. Also, it does work fine between a Mac and a Windows 7 PC that we used to trou...

Works simply, but has USB problems
I used this unit to switch between my work laptop and home computer. The switching with the button works fine. At first everything worked fine, but I heard a hum on the one device's audio during calls. After some diagnosing I realized that the hum was caused by the USB bus My keyboard has a processor on board for remapping and such. This keyboard started failing after ...

Good Product.
Works very well in Windows 10, Easy to install. The only limitation is that the cables are too short. 24" more on each end would be dandy.

Easy to use and setup Windows 7
I got this KVM switch to test and it is handy as most of my work is on site but sometimes I have to bring work home and I have to unplug my system to be able to work on the client computer. I could not make it work properly on Windows 8 but it works ok on Windows 7 and 10. The price is not bad and the Switch work well, just hope they can fix the problem with Windows 8. ...

Does what it's supposed to
I got this unit as I am finding myself fixing my friends and families computers and was tired of constantly unplugging my PC to plug theirs in. It worked well on the Windows 7 PC's I tested but confirmed 8.1 was a no go. I will be trying a Windows 10 PC in a couple of weeks. Seems well built and the instructions are clear. Did not see any reduction in picture quality. I...

USB Powered KVM Switch with Audio
I have been in the technology business for over 35 years and for the past 20+ years I have been asked to provide unbiased reviews of various products from both the AV and IT world. In review of this product I have found that this unit worked fine switching back and forth between a Mac and a Windows 7 PC. I especially liked the QuickSwitch Button and also toggling by way...

works good but disappointed overall
My computers were 8 feet separated and after un-boxing realized I need to move the computers closer together for this to work due to cables are very short. Had wireless mouse hooked up to it while it worked the delay was so bad it was un-usable so I had to switch to a wired mouse. (I hate Wired Mice).
Then when switching to my Newer Dell Machine the background keeps tur...

Doesn't work with Windows 8.1
I had the exact same issue as the other reviewer. This switch works fine with my MacBook, but does not work properly with Windows 8.1
