5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I Would Have Bought This Unit First!, July 5, 2005

I bought a Starview 2-Port KVM Switch Kit with Cables (PC/Mac) and everything works great. When switching to the imac mini there is about a 0.5 second delay and when switching to windows there is a 2 second delay, can't complain. Also all 5 buttons and the scrollwheel work on the Starview. I would recommend anyone if you don't mind pressing a button on the unit to switch.

I originally had a IOGEAR GCS632U and had nothing but problems. Couldn't get it to work with my Windows XP. See the GCS632U page for my review on it.

I wish I would have bought the Starview to begin with. 5/5!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just works, November 15, 2005

I've been trying several other products in this space and after several recommendations ended up giving this solution a last shot. For once I ended up with a working solution right from the start.

Setup:

Dell Inspiron 8500

Generic P4 Server

Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro (usb)

Microsoft USB Intellimouse Optical - wireless (usb)

I had major issues with a D-Link and Belkin solution before - in both cases the keyboard was stuttering and the mouse not consistently handling clicks.

No issues here with either with the keyboard or mouse. Even the USB ports on the keyboard work...

The only minor downside is that the sync between machines is a little slow - it can take a few seconds for the laptop especially to get mouse/keyboard active although the screen switch is instant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Far superior to Belkin KVM, July 15, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: StarTech 2 Port Professional USB KVM Switch Kit with Cables (SV231USB) (Personal Computers)
For about a year and a half I struggled with a Belkin KVM switch to allow me to have instant access to my Mac Mini and Dell computers. It was extremely buggy: it would often switch on its own from one computer to the other; monitor quality using one computer was very good, and on the other it had a greenish tint; sometimes the switch would not allow me access at all to one or the other computers. Another problem with the Belkin was that wires came out of both ends of it making it difficult to position physically. Belkin tech support was helpful, but after hearing about the Starview switch, I had to give it a try.

As other reviewers have noted, you simply plug everything in, and it works! What could be better. I've been using it now for about a month and have had no problem. I have a very large 24" wide-screen Dell monitor, and both the Mac and PC look beautiful on it. I am also using a wireless keyboard and mouse with no problem. The USB printer I hooked up to the...
