Introduction:

For many computer enthusiasts having two computers also means having two monitors, keyboards and mice. This leads to more and more desk office space being taken up by multiple peripherals. To resolve this problem, a few manufacturers have started manufacturing KVM switch type products for the consumer market. A KVM or Keyboard Video Mouse switch, allows a user to share one Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse between multiple computers. Most KVM switches come with multiple ports, cables and packaged application software. To simplify adding the convenience of a KVM switch, StarTech has developed a simple and easy to use switch that effectively takes up next to no desk space. Today in the MTB Labs, we will be evaluating the StarTech 2-port PC Switcher KVM Switch.
