ok so I did search here and didn't really find anything.
I posted on another forum and really nothing positive came back... meaning no one really is using any..
so from a google - I found that Startech makes one (and we use a lot of startech stuff at work)...
so it wasn't cheap... $250 from amazon shipped and tax.
so.... wanted to give feedback for others... so the search feature will now have this input!
ok I ponied up for it..

and already slightly frustrated..
so it turns out that the keyboard and mouse ports are usb 1.1 as per this tech conversation...
[3/4/2019, 4:42:54 PM] Adrian: The port for the keyboard is a USB 1.1 port meant to send simple / typical inputs so it may be getting confused. Try one of the other USB ports for the keyboard.
so the issue is simple... first it was ID-10T issue... or another known is Pic-Nic issue...
I had both monitor DP plugged in right.
had both pc's connected correct DP
then you plug a usb from startech to each PC... - dummy moment... I had usb cable for PC1 plugged into PC2 and PC2 plugged into PC1.
Ok so got beeps, etc but no keyboard, mouse.
once the tech got me to realize that, swapping them... I then had mouse. had mouse and keyboard plugged into front of PC to be able to type/brows to chat.
so mouse went fine....
keyboard was spazzin.. thus the comment above about being confused...
I kinda saw on a google search before chatting that if keyboard isn't a standard 104 key - you may have to use one of the two - USB 2.0 ports.
This worked; however, that means I am now down a port.
so I plugged my wireless headset into the other port and it works but im out of usb ports and the keyboard port issueless as I tried plugging in a usb card reader (plus 1.1 would suck for that)….
so now I have to find my USB hub (kinds probably took it)… so I can see if that will work.
all in all - not a bad piece of equipment.
looks like its from the 90s
usb 1.1 and usb 2.0 - cmon its 2019 and for $250!!!!! aint cheap.
so now I have to keep it reachable so I can click the button to switch ports as I lost hotkey use due to this.
bonus gets cut Friday so ill be picking up a 2nd 32" Philips making my setup complete!!!!!
just got a RGB mouse pad to go with my
Logitech g510keyboard
Razer Ballistic mouse

so I am sitting here working and have 2 keyboard, 2 mice, 32" (1440p) and 24" (1080p) monitor. I keep grabbing wrong mouse and typing on wrong keyboard...
I need a dual monitor kvm that wont break the bank as I'm seeing them for $250 and up... 4 port @ $1000!!!!!!
so anyone using one that wont hit the bank.. tax return is coming so gonna pony up and maybe get a 2nd 32" monitor and definitely want a kvm..
