Pros & Cons
Pros
Audio cable has a microusb connector on one end. The mic and headphone out ports are the usual audio connectors. Indicator lights for computer 1 and 2 on the box make clear which pc is active.
The included cables are dvi-i (and only 4 ft long) the innovative vga / data cables are space saver for data and video. The cables are high quality and durable, but are a little bulky, and there is no way to hide them cleanly.
This kvm works with my corsair k70 cherry mx red keyboard. Most kvm switches handle this through an a/b switch setup.
Cons
Kvm needs a graphical interface at bootup for the kvm to recognize the machine. Neither the macbook pro nor my monitor supports dvi-i. Belkin or io gear are much better options if you are looking for a decent kvm.
Highlights
Quality
It is well made, easy to hook up, and very easy to use.
Turns out it is well built (sturdy plastic body), and most importantly it works as advertised.
The unit is small and is made out of translucent plastic.

Price
Exactly what i ordered/needed - exactly when it was promised and at a reasonable price.
For the price, this works well enough for my uses.

Shipping
First shipment was defective, but manufacturer promptly sent a replacement that worked very well.

Competitiveness
Worked much better than other kvm switches that i have had.
Secondly, when setting up a different amd pc with a b450 and 2400g using the onboard gpu or using a gtx 1050ti, the maximum res... Read More
I purchased a different brand in the past, and i had to replace them all, because they just quit working after a couple months.

The startech 2 port usb vga kvm switch has a very small form factor which is great but the cables are too short and are proprietary
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I would be frustrated with its limitations with how it functions some of the ports are multifunctional and the cable length if i were using this daily

The short cables do not impact this situation either as the wiring closet is small and everything is close together
