StarTech.com Switch Kvm Displayport Usb De 2 Portas

The hardware does its job very well, a small "beep" indicates the switch between one machine and the other, it's quite practical in use. However, a downside: Given the price, we could have expected at least two USB cables to connect the KVM to the PCs. Unfortunately, no cable is provided. So you should expect an extra budget for that...

I'd hoped some of the negative reviews were unique to uniquely-challenged Mac users, but even used with Win7 workstations (with Quadro graphics cards) this device isn't reliable, can't handle the monitor's being put to sleep, and makes the computer it's switching away from think there's no monitor attached, dropping the resolution to 800X600.
