Does this kvm support windows 8.1?

Am running it on Windows 7 and before that on Windows XP. Not sure about Windows 8 though...

I use it with Windows 8.1 and have not had any issues - however, I have two monitors so I do not use the monitor jacks.

KVM comes with 8 USB/KVM cables and has a rack kit, ears to mount in the rack. No familiar the last one

I don't know what a kvm is. It plugs in line in between a keyboard and a PC. What ever is typed into that keyboard is recorded.

Yes, but a real KVM would be better since that will simulate a mouse and keyboard on BOTH systems at launch( or all, since there are KVMs that support more than just 2 machines at once), IOGear has some nice cheap 2 machine KVMs that will work wonders for you, (you can share single monitor with that setup also, or if you don't need that, then just plug the monitors up separately from the KVM cables). Also a really nice feature of some KVM is to be able to switch between the machines by pressing scroll lock twice. But to your direct question... This will probably work, but is really designed for toggling other devices such as an external hard drive, or USB drives, etc. Also you would need a USB hub if your mouse and keyboard are not a single pair.

I have never tried using it with one computer. If you only have one computer, why would you need a KVM switch? Try disconnecting the un-used port and see if it works.

A lot is going to depend on your kernel version (regardless of what distro you're running), and the actual hardware you're using (video card, monitor, etc). Having said that, I'm currently using this KVM to switch between a desktop running Fedora 18 and a laptop/docking station that's running Fedora 19 and haven't run into any showstoppers yet. Had some issues with screen resolution when I tried to replace the OOTB Nvidia video drivers with the proprietary versions, and there are some keyboard shortcuts in the documentation that I found to be glaringly absent (see my review of the product for details), but none of the issues were big enough that I couldn't use the product.

Sorry. I'm no longer using it and I don't remember if I had windows 8.1 on previous laptop.

KVM's are generally for keyboards, video and mice. I would suggest you buy a usb hub for your "other" usb devices. They sell them with on/off switches as well for convenience. Hope this helps.

I have Windows 8.1 and it works fine for what I use it for, telephony dialing.

Yes i connected 2 PCs to 2 Monitors. But this KVM is very very poor quality. My keyborad Keys get struck while typing and may times i have to restart my pc after switching for this KVM to recognize my input devices (just a keyboard and mouse). Move on to different one..its worth.

Yes, it works on Windows 8.1. That is the Operating System I used to set it up.

I'm not entirely sure. Never tried. I have another computer that has a different KVM which does & I find it annoying because that system's shortcuts are the same as some of my software shortcuts (up/down arrow & ctrl+1-4), making them useless in the software & a real pain when I forget, so that's not a feature I would necessarily want in a KVM. I hve had the star tech for a year & a half & it's been a rock-solid unit.

I am using a wireless mouse (mircorsoft model 3500) and wired keyboard (backlight keys) with the SV431DDVDUA 4 port KVM. hope this helps.

Doris, I have never done this before, but there is no reason, that I can think of, why that would not work. Should not be an issue. I assumed........., based on your question, that you will have all of your peripherals (keyboard, mouse, printer, etc....) connected to the KVM switch, and that you will be switching back and forth between the two CPUs (computers). One for work and one for home?

The pc audio cable jack on the KVM is the same as the one on the laptop. The cables come with the switch.

Yes you can use one keyboard & mouse for two computers with that KVM, but it might degrade the quality of the picture of your monitor. I used it once and stopped because it didn't work well with one of my computers.
