Bought this to replace a Belkin 4port switch which was very troublesome and unreliable most of the time. This is the complete opposite. In fact, we did a direct replacement from the Belkin to this whilst the machines were still on, and it picked them all up no problem!

PS/2 device cables are fed through the VGA monitor cable, so you only have 1 cable per each port as opposed to the conventional 3, which makes working areas much neater.

As for the guy who can't get widescreen working, I am using a widescreen with this KVM right now and it works perfectly fine with no signal degrading issues. Highly recommended.

I bought this product to replace a Belkin Omniview 4-way switch, which was nothing but trouble.
I've used the Startech for about a week, without a glitch. All of the problems I had with the Belkin have simply disappeared.
The price is unbelievable - you could easily pay this just for the cables, which are neater and more manageable than the traditional KVM cables. Cannot rate this product highly enough!

Does exactly what it is supposed to do. The build quality is great and it worked straight out of the box. The cables are nice and tidy and not too cumbersome.

I have used other KVMs and had nothing but problems, but this works just fine and all without the use of a PSU. Well worth the money.
