Connectivity Range
Customers have reported issues with the connectivity range of the product, specifically intermittent disconnections of the keyboard and mouse, requiring frequent unplugging and replugging in. The USB cables provided with the unit also received criticism for their poor quality. Despite attempts to troubleshoot and contact the company for support, customers were unable to resolve the issue and have opted to purchase a different brand instead.

Switching Functionality
Customers have mixed feelings about the switching functionality of this KVM switch. While some are pleased with its ease of use and cost savings, others have experienced inconsistencies and frustration when trying to switch between computers.
Highlights
Quality
This slim box allows you to share up to four perifs with two computers (one at a time).
That moved window moves back over to my laptop instead of staying in place on the shared monitor.
Its slim design works well with the tight spacing between two computers.
Works great when you have two pc's and one mounter
Price
This $20 unit in contrast has clean, crisp screen, switches just fine without dropping peripherals, and no lag whatsoever.
But i just bought a $200 kvm and got worse screens, inconsistent switching, and mouse lag with that one.
Competitiveness
At two-years-per unit, i could have bought two decades worth of these for the price of that other kvm.
Other kvms i have used will keep an active monitor source connection, when switching to the second monitor source connection.

I pretty much get a new one every two years as the led tends to wear out or sometimes the unit itself it gets a lot of use
