Paul, 5 Stars - "The saga of Windows 7"
October 11, 2011
When I replaced both my personal and work computers with Windows 7 machines I decided to also replace my all-in-one printer since the drivers did not work properly and the software would not install.
Then, my old Raritran Switchman KVM could not find the new Lexmark all-in-one printer (connected through additional USB port on the KVM). Additionally, switching machines led to a lag of about 10 seconds before the keyboard and mouse could be found/used.
After lot's of research, I determined that I needed a KVM which fully supported Windows 7. This brought me to the ConnectPro.
When receiving the unit I was delighted to see that the original problems of the KVM not making the printer visible to the computers and the lag when switching between computers just went away. However, I had a new problem - a monitor resolution issue. The KVM thought my Lenovo 24inch monitor was something else and the resolution was far too low and I could not change it in Windows. After first a lot of internet searching then, some conversing with Connectpro support via e-mail, I was sent a new unit with an upgraded video card and now everything works perfectly.
The important points here are that this KVM is one of the few on the market that officially supports Windows 7 and, when you do have an issue, Connectpro is clearly a company that takes customer satisfactions seriously and will do what is necessary to resolve any issues.
The build quality is, as other people say sturdy, oozes quality and is reassuringly heavy.
The only drawback which another reviewer has mentioned is that there is no audio support to connect speakers. This was not important to me as one of my computers is a laptop and has it's own speakers so I just connect the external speakers directly to the desktop. Anyway, in this day and age there are bluetooth speaker options that you could probably take advantage of.

Creative Shopper, 5 Stars - "The best KVM for Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2"

Dave Ricketts, 5 Stars - "It just works - period."
May 24, 2011
After installing Win7, my older Belkin KVM just would not connect the USB keyboard/mouse. Researching the web for alternative was challenging. However, after reading the previous reviews here, I sprang for the ConnectPRO UR 12+. It arrived in 3 days, even with std shipping. Connections only took 5 mins, and I have been using it trouble free ever since. This thing just works! And with the DDM design, switching between the two CPUs is nearly instantaneous; no more wanting for the workstation to re-recognize the USB inputs after each switch. The quality of the switch and the cables is commercial grade, far above normal mass-consumer level. More expensive - yes. But cry once for the $$, then forget about ever seeing the usual problems so common with lesser units. BTW, the measurements specified above are for the shipping box; the switch unit itself is 6.5" W x 1.75" H x 3" D. Allow for at least an extra 3" in the back for the cables.

Eric Liprandi, 4 Stars - "quality, quality, quality"
March 4, 2011
I have used "main brand" switches for years and they all feel cheap (and most of them end-up being just that... cheap). But the ConnectPro screams quality build. From the very well packaged cables, switch and power supply to the actual products.
The switch was awesome out-of-the-box. Worked like a charm. I later ran into issues with my Logitech MK550 Wireless Keyboard+Mouse set. Tech support was right on the ball and gave me 2 very important things: a quick and simple workaround and that they were working on a permanent firmware fix. Thank you!
My wife is the primary user of that switch and the DDM allows her to switch between her XP laptop and her Windows 7 in the blink of an eye. She's loving it.
If you do have an exotic keyboard, I would recommend contacting Tech Support to see if they have known problems with your keyboard. But, as it turns out, unless you install the Logitech "SetPoint" software, your keyboard and mouse will work just fine.

Greg "PTON tiger", 5 Stars - "The Best KVM Hands down - works with ALL new wireless devices"
March 1, 2011
I have been searching for a KVM to allow sharing of my monitor, logitech wireless mouse, wireless keyboard and other USB devices. This thing is sweet! It works like a charm and switches flawlessly between systems. It takes 2 seconds to switch and everything works like a charm.
I have Logitech Dinovo Wireless Keyboard and Logitech Wireless MX Laser Mouse and they worked out of the box between my two computers. No need to worry about switches, lags, etc...you can push the 1/2 button to switch or use hotkeys on your keyboard. Their techsupport is great, had to call with a question and a guy picked up the phone right away - they can make custom firmware if your device does not work. Its a small company (like 25 employees) that is all about their niche and their customers. Their DDM and special active switching tech is not found in the cheaper competing models and the tech allows split second switching and response time - no mouse, keyboard lag and instant resolution correction. It remember the settings, saves to box so its a quick switch.
Although its expensive, this thing works and works really well. Supports my 1080P monitor between my Window 7 x64 desktop and my thinkpad, windows XP docking station. It just works, no headaches, firmware, or other installs needed. Works great for a home office where you bring home your work laptop and want to use your existing monitor, mouse, keyboard withouth have to always plug-in/out cables.
Kit comes with small switching box, power cord, 2 sets of combo DVI/USB (big square to rectangle for computer) cables to connect to your devices. I had tried IOgear, Belkin, etc...and none of them worked with these newer wireless USB devices until ConnectPro. Furthermore, this has 2 USB ports in the front to share USB devices between computers; the mouse and keyboard have specific back USB slots.
One thing to note, you may have to uninstall logitech setpoint for this to work 100% and if your DVI plug doesnt have the 4 pin setup around the long flat metal pin, you will need a convertor (like 3$ on amazon). Plus it doesnt KVM sound, but who cares!
Buy this and you won't be dissapointed.

Griffy, 5 Stars - "Solid so far"
June 9, 2010
Received this a couple of weeks ago, and so far it seems to be worth the price. I have not yet upgraded to Windows 7, where it will shine, but since it maps my machines correctly I have had no trouble using modern USB mice. Switching is rapid, and much more trouble-free than my old iogear GCS 1734. Physically the unit seems well-made. So far, a solid unit.
