Dual-computer VGA KVM with USB hub

The StarTech SV231USB is a two-port KVM switch that lets one VGA monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse control two computers. It includes two combined USB and VGA cables plus a power adapter, so the kit is ready to connect immediately. The unit suits office desks, digital-signage servers or manufacturing-line PCs where space and peripheral count must stay low.

VGA 1920 x 1440 and USB 3-port sharing

Video passes through a single 15-pin high-density D-Sub console port at up to 1920 x 1440 resolution, which is the practical ceiling of the analogue VGA interface. A built-in three-port USB Type-A hub shares printers, scanners or storage across both systems without extra cabling. Switching between computers is done by front-panel push buttons or by automatic scanning at intervals of 3, 8, 15 or 30 seconds. The switch operates independently of the host operating systems.

Check VGA outputs and USB keyboard/mouse

Before ordering, verify that each target computer provides a VGA video output and at least one USB Type-B port for the included cables. The console side needs a VGA-input monitor and USB peripherals with Type-A plugs. Buyers who need digital video such as HDMI or DisplayPort, or who require more than two computer ports, will need a different KVM solution.
