The StarTech.com SV231USB is a 2-port USB/VGA KVM switch that lets one user control two computers with one monitor, keyboard and mouse, making it suitable for offices or workstations with compatible VGA computers. It supports resolutions up to 1920 × 1440 and includes the connection cables.
Recommended For
- People who use two VGA-equipped computers at one desk and want to share one monitor, USB keyboard, and mouse instead of duplicating those controls.
- IT staff or technicians switching between two VGA test, maintenance, or burn-in computers at a shared bench; the physical front-panel buttons provide direct computer selection.
- Operators managing two VGA-based digital-signage or manufacturing-line computers from one local console, where a single shared monitor and keyboard/mouse meet the control-room needs.
- Users maintaining older VGA workstations who want a driver-free KVM setup with the required USB/VGA cables included, rather than adding software to each computer.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- At a workstation with two VGA-equipped computers, switch the monitor, keyboard, and mouse between systems to work on each without keeping a separate set of desk controls for both.
- On a PC test or burn-in bench, use one monitor and input set to check two systems in turn, keeping the test area less crowded than a setup with separate controls for each computer.
- On a manufacturing line with two compatible computers, an operator can select either system from the same console, reducing the need to move between separate keyboard-and-monitor stations.
- For digital-signage system maintenance, use one VGA monitor and USB keyboard and mouse to access either of two connected control computers from a shared console.
- In a mixed-computer environment, use the front-panel button to move the shared console between two connected systems; the switch is intended for USB-connected computers with VGA video, not as a general HDMI or DisplayPort KVM.
