StarTech Crash Cart Adapter, File Transfer, USB VGA KVM, TAA (NOTECONS02) | USB & VGA KVM console, File transfer & video capture, Windows Linux macOS, BIOS-level control, Screenshots

Exactly what I needed for work. Instead of using a crash cart you can carry this around and make your laptop a crash cart. I use this everyday.

I honestly don’t even know where to start. I paid nearly $400 for this StarTech product, and it has been one of the worst tech purchases of my life. Let’s talk about the clarity first, or the lack of it. The display quality is atrocious. It looks like something from the early 2000s. Blurry, pixelated, and nearly unusable, especially when you’re trying to work on anything even remotely visual. For a product in this price range, I expected at least decent resolution. What I got was a screen so badly rendered I can barely stand to look at it for more than 5 minutes. Now let’s talk about the cursor issue, which is absolutely maddening. The cursor doesn’t align with where you actually press or click. I move the mouse to click something, and it selects something entirely different. It’s completely misaligned and nearly impossible to use for anything that requires precision. Every click is a gamble. It’s like playing a broken video game where the controls don’t respond properly. This isn’t a minor bug ,it’s a fundamental design flaw that makes the entire product unusable. I tried using it in different settings, different systems , nothing fixes the issue. It’s clearly a hardware or firmware problem. This isn’t just disappointing, it’s infuriating. The product is literally not functional for basic use. And for all of this, I paid FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS. Let that sink in. $400 for something that can’t even click correctly. I feel completely ripped off. This product feels like a scam. It’s not even worth $40, let alone $400. To anyone considering this: DO NOT BUY. Save your money. There are far better and cheaper options out there that actually work. I’ve contacted support and I’m demanding a full refund. For a company like StarTech, this kind of product quality is shocking. I seriously expected better.

Not many options for KVM crash cart modules, but this one is working as intended.

Just got mine today, and aside from a temporary hiccup with screen capture at boot time (and figuring out that a USB2 port MUST be used on the target machine for reliable keyboard input), it's working as I'd hoped. I am building a server as I write this, and not having to hook up a monitor, keyboard and mouse is extra convenient. I have not tried the screen recording, but the disk control is a great feature. Being able to access boot disk images or VHDs is very convenient. This is not a cheap piece of kit, but WAY cheaper than a truck roll and lost staff productivity.

Great device. Needed for when the server I was working. Hooked it up to my laptop and was able to get server tech support online with the equipment as needed.

I bought this product and it did not work. I contacted the manufacturer's tech support. They auto-responded by directing me to their FAQ. No help there. I messed around with the device on my own and concluded there was a hardware issue with the device. Next, I tried to get an RMA via Amazon so I could return it. I was auto-directed to fill out an online form to get an RMA number. The online form kept kicking me out with random errors. I sent their tech support an email explaining that I could not successfully fill out their RMA form and would they please just give me an RMA. NO RESPONSE! This is an expensive product and I have been unable to return it for replacement or refund. I now have a product that does not work and am out the $$$$ DO NOT BUY ONE!

This is the perfect tool for the job when only a console will do. The USB file transfer is incredibly useful for driver installations, removing files from a machine for analysis, etc. It works equally well on my Surface and my MacBook Air, and it also works great with Remote Desktop, so I can access a machine's console via RDP--great for when I've left a machine on my workbench in my office and had to go out to the field. Expensive, but you get what you pay for.

I have only used it a few times but it has worked flawlessly. It is expensive but when accessing servers that are in racks with no KVM, keyboard or mouse, it is a great tool to have.

Muy útil para administrar servidores

Article commandé pour ne plus avoir à prendre un ensemble écran, clavier et souris. Il trouve sa place dans la sacoche à coté du portable, bien plus pratique et leger en tout cas.

Expensive for what it is but really handy to have with you when the occasion arises

Needs the driver to make this thing work. But it definitely serves its purpose of enabling the laptop to Be a kvm to be attached to my servers for troubleshooting purposes

works great on macos (even M macs) very reliable, wish it had usb 3 to speed up the iso installs in a pinch and maybe clipboard pass threw. Slightly expensive and niche but works great would recommend!
