With support for high-resolution video interfaces, this dual view KVM switch provides one VGA (analog) and one DVI-I port per computer connection, as well as audio switching capability between connected computers.
Delivering versatility for virtually any application, the DVI/VGA KVM switch features an integrated 2-port USB hub that allows connected USB 2.0 peripherals to be shared between connected computers, eliminating the need to purchase duplicate peripherals.
Suitable for any workspace, the dual monitor KVM switch offers a compact desktop KVM design and features a rugged metal chassis that helps ensure durable performance.
While both DVI-I (analog mode) and DVI-D (digital only) are supported by the KVM, both source PCs must output the same signal type for proper switching. It is recommended wherever possible to use DVI-D cables across all PC to KVM and KVM to Console connections.

Rated 5 out of 5 byWilliamRyan from When you're done with KVM failuresTo begin, I am a reviewer that gets access to products in exchange for an unbiased review.In my case, I frequently upgrade monitors and components. Where possible I try to use Networked components and share them, but in my office I have a desktop as well as a laptop. I got really tired to flipped back and forth between them so I started with a different KVM that I got from StartTech. Based on my experience with it, I decided to try one for some of my older components. I have several monitors and components that are a little older but in great shape. I didn't want to buy additional items for newer laptops when I had existing ones that would work.This arrived and I was really pleased with it. The first thing you'll notice is the construction. This isn't a toy, it's not a beginner KVM and you don't need a lot of knowledge to use it, but if you're tired of playing with cheaper models this is for you.The only thing I'd suggest it to make sure you understand the product. If you need VGA ports, this is for you. If you have mixed monitors with VGA and DVI this is perfect. If you don't and only have HDMI, you'll need an adapter but would be better off getting their HDMI enabled model.In any case, the biggest metrics I care about other than ultimately functioning is the setup time and ease of use. Setup will take you about 2 minutes if you have the right components, if you need adapters you'll be set back by another minute or dead in the water if you're missing them - but that applies to everything.It's a few minutes to set up, not even a minute to figure out how to use. You'll have two full ports outside of the base, USB ports and shared microphone ports and headphone ports.Built well, works well, easy to use. What else can you ask for?

Rated 5 out of 5 byrap1999 from Stops working with Windows updatePassable on windows 8. (Slow switching and some non-switching problems requiring reboots) Updated to Windows 10 (forced due to PC Update) and now the KVM does not work at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 byBonesMahoney from nullThis is a very nice KVM switch. Solid construction. It switches audio as well. it even picks up the wireless mouse/keyboard receiver (on both computers!) when it's plugged in the USB hub on the switch.
