My only complaint is my keyboard has a built in 2 port USB HUB. The Starview would not initialize the keyboard with only 2 computers connected. I had to dig up a 5 volt power supply to resolve the problem. I found an old Netgear supply that worked. Presumably, if you have 4 computers connected, it will derive enough power.
Otherwise, I find monitor resolution issues and USB delays that occur when switching frustrating.
