Space Saving You can use your existing keyboard, mouse, and monitor to access both the server room and your office computer over Ethernet, saving space and avoiding the need for a dedicated remote console by allowing you to switch between workstation view and KVM view at the remote location. This USB VGA KVM extender is TAA compliant and backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty with free lifetime technical support.

Review: Remote KVM - Works great for several applications. I've used this to simply send a VGA signal over cat5 to a remote monitor. I've also used it as a remote KVM. You hook up a keyboard, mouse and vga monitor and you can control a computer as if you were sitting in front of it. Another great feature is the AB switching. So you can have a keyboard monitor and mouse local to the PC as well as a remote and it will automatically switch Control back and forth based on who is using it. One small glitch I have noticed is that you usually need to press any key on the keyboard to get it to switch before you can use the mouse.
Review: Does Not De-Skew Video very well, unless you like "Ghosting" - I could not recommend the Startech for CAT5 KVM extending. The biggest issue is with Skewing of video! Do your own research to understand this issue. Since CAT5 cable strands, being of different lengths, create a latency of video signals, this unit does not correctly fix this. It says it has settings for De-Skewing, but it is not very effective, even over 10 feet of cat5. The video output from the Startech creates a ghosting effect, that makes it useless! I did a lot of research about CAT5 and video, and found another unit, Adder X200, that has a lot of fine tuning where my video at 300 feet, is perfect and NO ghosting or delays of any kind! We are using the Adder with a KVM of 8 computers and it switches between each computer very smoothly and the Adder also provides audio. We had many issues with the Startech and the hot keys for switching our 8 port KVM. The specs for the Adder: The AdderLink X200 AS/R model has integrated skew correction with a 300MHz bandwidth (1/4 of a pixel movement at 1600 x 1200 resolution). This removes the video skew issues that can be caused by longer CATx cables. The Adder costs more than the Startech, but well worth it! Startech tech support: The tech support was of no help. They kept going in circles about did you change this, did you try another, but the Adder worked on the same setup the Startech did NOT. After a week or so of this communications, we tossed both units we bought into the trash. (We were outside the return time frame for desertcart) Hard lessen for us to learn, but we moved on to the Adder! In closing, here is a great article on this issue: www.aten-usa.com/data/whitepaper/WP_Deskew.pdf The Startech did not work for us in a common setup for extending KVW over CAT5. Good luck to you!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ TRULY 5 STARS
*by M***T on January 26, 2013*

If you work with lots of computer systems as I have over the years this comes almost as a necessity when needed! These units do so much more than the way I am currently using them for. Basically I am only using the device as a remote 150' feet away control device for a computer based HD-SDI routing system. I am using a remote monitor, mouse and keyboard. I could use it with another routing computer systems monitor, keyboard and mouse but I like have the 2 monitor system better than an all in one. But I know I will use it as an all in one solution for other systems. Love being able to adjust the monitor output levels using basic keyboard commands. I have used Star Tech.com devices and they have not let me down yet. This unit was warranted for 2 years and should give me many years of confident remote computer control!
