Overview

The StarTech.com SV231DPUEA is a 2-port KVM switch designed for users who need to control two PCs with a single keyboard, mouse, and dual-monitor setup. It supports DisplayPort 1.2, allowing each connected PC to drive up to two monitors at 4K (3840×2160) @60Hz, making it a solid choice for creative professionals and office workers alike. A built-in USB 3.0 hub on the front panel provides two shared ports for flash drives or other peripherals, so you can easily transfer files between machines without swapping cables. The switch is driverless and works with Windows, macOS, and Linux out of the box.

Connectivity & Compatibility

The SV231DPUEA connects to PCs via DisplayPort (two inputs per PC) and USB 3.0 Type-B. On the console side, it offers two DisplayPort outputs for monitors, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports for keyboard and mouse, and two USB 3.0 Type-A ports on the front panel for shared devices. Important compatibility notes: Does NOT support DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport (MST) — each monitor must connect directly to the KVM, not daisy-chained. Works with any DisplayPort-equipped desktop or laptop; HDMI monitors require an active DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter (not included). * USB 3.0 hub speed is shared between the two front ports; sustained high-bandwidth devices may see reduced performance when both are active.

Product Info

The StarTech.com SV231DPUEA sits in the mid-range tier of professional KVM switches. It offers dual-monitor DisplayPort support at a competitive price point — typically around ¥25,000 on Japan. The package includes the KVM unit, two USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-B cables, a power adapter, and a quick-start guide. DisplayPort cables are sold separately. The manufacturer provides a 2-year warranty.

Best Use Cases

Creative professionals and engineers who work with two PCs (e.g., a workstation and a personal machine) and need to share a dual-monitor setup without sacrificing 4K resolution. Desk clutter reducers — eliminate extra keyboards, mice, and cables by controlling both computers from a single console. * Users requiring USB 3.0 speeds for file transfers or peripheral sharing between PCs, thanks to the integrated high-speed hub.
