Pros & Cons

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

Pros

The kvm switch sits on top of the desktop chassis. The keyboard is an apple usb full keyboard with a targus mini mouse. There is a slight lag after you push the switch button, but it's not that bad.

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

The k/m receiver is on the front of the unit, but is very low-profile, so it works well there. This includes a monitor, speakers and web cam. All cables were provided.



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.

Quality


Very easy setup, works well with usb wireless mouse and keyboard combo and also runs printer for us!


The unit works great and comes with the needed cables.


Fraught at best when using synergy and became nearly unusable once the kvm was in the mix and synergy was disabled.


Direct connect with monitor show monitor working, usb does work, but does not work as expected and very displeased.

Price


It's inexpensive yet gives very clean and smooth operation.


This is a very high value product.


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


It's a bit slow to switch, but for the price it's acceptable.

Competitiveness


I use this kvm switch to share two 34" monitors between a dell xps desktop and a dell precision notebook.


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


Earlier, the pc and notebook used one monitor each and i moved between them with a program called synergy, which enables you to...  Read More


The problem was more likely to be in dell's software or firmware since the combo was already troublesome before.

    The customer service and support is excellent if there is an issue


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The number of possible installation scenarios is probably why the switch doesnt come with video cables


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I appreciate this the cost of the cables would be baked into the price and the end user may not be able to use all or even most of them


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I like the units size small enough to disappear into any convenient hole but large enough to avoid crowding the connections


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Cable connections are all on the rear of the unit no hardtoorganize octopus clutter like what we experienced with kvms from the bygone days


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The pc and notebook both come out of sleep mode as they should


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Im shaking my head at the insane amount of screen real estate the kvm has enabled


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Earlier the pc and notebook used one monitor each and i moved between them with a program called synergy which enables you to share a single keyboard and mouse among as many pcs and notebooks and their monitors as you feel like piling into your work space
