Summary: Great product
Comment: Great product. Blows away the Belkin KVM I was using. Two computers on one monitor, keyboard, mouse and printer - no problems.

Summary: Great switch!
Comment: This worked very well for my parents. While trying to get them used to a Mac, we have this switch setup for their PC and Mac and haven't had any issues!

Summary: Works quite well for my purposes
Comment: I use the unit to switch back and forth between two macs: a PowerPC G4 and an Intel G5, both running Leopard. There really are no serious issues. Yes, there is a momentary lag in switch-over time, but if you are at the point where one second literally causes you to fret, you need help :). One minor inconvenience: My display is 1680X1050 and I find that if I boot the machines out of sequence (i.e., #2 first), I generally need to reset the display resolution of the second machine. Other than this, I have no complaints and have been using the unit for several weeks without any other difficulty. It was very simple to set-up and install. I do not hesitate to recommend it.

Summary: Far superior to Belkin KVM
Comment: For about a year and a half I struggled with a Belkin KVM switch to allow me to have instant access to my Mac Mini and Dell computers. It was extremely buggy: it would often switch on its own from one computer to the other; monitor quality using one computer was very good, and on the other it had a greenish tint; sometimes the switch would not allow me access at all to one or the other computers. Another problem with the Belkin was that wires came out of both ends of it making it difficult to position physically. Belkin tech support was helpful, but after hearing about the Starview switch, I had to give it a try.
As other reviewers have noted, you simply plug everything in, and it works! What could be better. I've been using it now for about a month and have had no problem. I have a very large 24" wide-screen Dell monitor, and both the Mac and PC look beautiful on it. I am also using a wireless keyboard and mouse with no problem. The USB printer I hooked up to the KVM switch also works flawlessly on both machines. All the wires come out the back, so if you want to position this on your desk, you can do so in a way that the wires don't show.
Its only minor downside is its appearance - it's a very utilitarian metal box. But I hide mine just within reach under my desk, so no one sees it anyway.
In a nutshell, if you need a KVM switch, this is the one!
