Best Review: StarTech 2 Port Dual DVI USB KVM Switch with Audio (SV231DVIDDU) - This unit is well constructed but lacking in features compared to some competitors such as IO Gear. Most annoying was a problem I experienced with the [Alt]-[Tab] key combination sending a stream of [Tab] keys to the computer which would only stop when you hit [Escape]. It also would intermittently repeat the last one or two characters typed for no apparent reason. I tried two different USB keyboards (SAITEK and HP) and experienced the same problem. I contacted Startech's tech support via email and they directed me to a link to download a BIOS patch. Presumably future version of the product will come with a new bios that will already fix the problem.Aside from that annoyance it's a good product but compared to an IO Gear DVI unit I have used (but doesn't support two DVI monitors with two computers) it is lacking in some features, for example the IO Gear has a front panel button/hot key combination for viewing the video from one computer while still listening to the audio from the other.One warning the "Starview 2 Port Dual DVI USB KVM Switch" does not include the cables you will need to hook up the computers so order those separately. I had ordered the 10 foot cables but the video image was badly degraded using that length so I ended up using the 6 foot IO Gear cables and it worked fine.That said, when I was searching for a KVM to work with two computers with two DVI monitors there weren't a lot of choices. This product is competent and well built. Assuming the BIOS problem has been fixed I would recommend this product.
