Two-Port VGA USB KVM Switch

The SV211USB lets you operate two VGA-equipped computers with USB peripherals from a single monitor, keyboard and mouse. Integrated cables connect directly to each system and the unit draws power from USB, so no external adapter is required. A push-button remote on a 1.5 metre cable and hot-key commands provide quick switching between the connected PCs.

Desks Needing Dual-System Control

This switch suits anyone who wants to share one VGA display and USB input devices between two computers without adding a second monitor or power socket. It will not help users whose machines lack VGA outputs or USB ports, builders who need to control more than two systems, or anyone requiring digital video interfaces such as DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort.

Simple USB-Powered Setup

Installation is straightforward: plug the integrated cables into each computer’s VGA and USB ports, connect your monitor, keyboard and mouse, and the switch is ready to use. The most common issue is forgetting that both host systems must supply USB power for the KVM to function; if a port is unpowered or disabled in BIOS, switching will not work.

Questions about this item

What cables are already attached to the SV211USB so I don't need to buy separate ones?

The switch has integrated KVM cables that connect directly to two VGA and USB-equipped PCs, so no extra video or USB cables are required.

Will the push-button remote reach my monitor if the PCs sit 1.5 meters away?

Yes, the remote switch is on a 1.5 meter cable, letting you place the button on the desk while the switch sits near the computers.

How do I confirm the SV211USB is delivering the full 2048x1536 resolution after setup?

Open your display settings on each connected PC and verify the output is set to 2048x1536; the image should appear sharp and stable on the VGA monitor.
