Highlights
Quality
But for me, the product works as advertised.
It was a learning process for me, but i'm very happy with the end result.
I read many of the reviews on this product.
One thing i did notice, though, is that it doesn't keep a persistent connection with the host machine.
Packaging/appearance
(lesson learned here too)therefore, i went to the startech support webpage, where i found good videos and instructions.
I would recommend you check out the startech support website so you don't repeat my mistakes.
Competitiveness
Overall, i've been happy with startech products being good quality.
The startech switches between both without hiccups.
I have a startech vga/dvi dual monitor kvm which works just fine, but this one with dual dp just does not work.
Here are the steps startech recommends, you need to following them in the order, or it won't work.

I really cant rate the tech support as it has not been needed

This kvm does not have display emulation so the machine that is not currently switched to will act as if it doesnt have a monitor plugged in

On my windows machine this results in the windows all being on one monitor after switching back to the machine
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The mac takes slightly longer to switch to but is able to put all the windows where they belong on the correct monitor pretty consistently

While i would like to blame the kvm for not doing emulation clearly theres a software solution that windows just isnt doing so i cant put all the fault on the kvm

The unit arrives sans a manual fine as there was a reference to the online manual and startech has responsive online chattechnical support so a paper manual while nice costs money and i’d rather not pay more for the unit – this given the high cost of dp and hdmi kvm’s in the marketplace check around

You have to make note of mouse and keyboard usb ports both which are clearly labeled on the back of the kvm and remember you need two usb 2
