Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The unit itself is plenty small, and just sits on top of my desktop chassis. This really helped me consolidate space and optimize my work flow. Has some small issues with bluetooth usb mouse/keyboard combo going through it.

This kvm works well for the money. It's inexpensive yet gives very clean and smooth operation. It has no fancy features, but works as well if not better. At this price, if it lasts longer than a year, it is well worth it.

No noticeable lag while playing frame-intensive games. No issue swapping back and forth if you have the screen duplicated with the common monitor.



Cons

Switcher works fine, but whenever the switcher is connected it emits a really abrasive high pitched electrical noise. Can't watch videos anymore--too frustrating. Only works with one computer.

It takes about 3 or 4 seconds to switch between systems, and at least 1 or 2 seconds of that is the recovery time of the computer.

Price


This is a very high value product.


An excellent piece of hardware at a steal of a price.


Heck for the price, the included cables are probably worth it by themselves.


And at this price, if it lasts longer than a year, it is well worth it.

Competitiveness


I have used a lot of kvm switches over the years but this one works better than anything i have ever seen!


I have set this up to switch between a 2012 mac mini/catalina 10.
