I am in the market for a KVM switch for 2 pc's at my desk. I bought something off Amazon and it came with display ports instead of HDMI. I can't use it on the older pc. Needs to be HDMI or VGA. I found only one $46 display port female adapter, which is absurd.

It seems that 90% of kvm's being marketed are now for home entertainment systems. Anyone have recommendations on a KVM that doesnt use displayport, but still takes 1-2 USB devices (mouse/keyboard). I only need one USB port since its a logitech unifier.

Thanks,
Dave

Those are DisplayPort to HDMI, for connecting a DP computer to a HDMI monitor (or KVM, etc). Going the other direction will be quite a bit more complicated. It's not just a simple cable.
