Bottom line: The StarTech 4-Port USB VGA KVM Switch 2048x1536 Cables and Audio: Four-computer control from one keyboard, mouse, and VGA monitor at up to 2048x1536; main trade-off: VGA analog only, so no DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort machines without adapters.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Four-computer control from one keyboard, mouse, and VGA monitor at up to 2048x1536
  • ✓ 4ft KVM cables included in the kit, so no separate cable purchase
  • ✓ Bus-powered from connected PCs, no external power brick to find an outlet for
  • ✓ Deck-of-cards footprint fits behind a monitor or in a cramped retro bench
  • ✓ Both hotkey and top-panel push-button switching for keyboard or hands-on control

Cons

  • ✗ VGA analog only, so no DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort machines without adapters
  • ✗ 4ft cables force towers close together, limiting desk layout options
  • ✗ 2048x1536 ceiling rules out modern 4K and most widescreen native resolutions
  • ✗ USB keyboard and mouse only, so PS/2-era vintage peripherals need converters
