Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Product is solidly contrustructed and layed out very simply. Seems to be a good quality piece of tech. Aside from that, the unit works as advertised for a great price.

This switcher has 3 usb 3. Ports. Usb ports work well for a keyboard and mouse. The usb and hdmi cables are of differing lengths.

Great product for connecting four computers with dual monitor outputs. It connects to two monitors, and has 4 sets of input sources. Just a quick double-tap on scroll lock button and select the number (1-4) for the inputs.

Overall this is a reasonable solution if it holds up. Be patient in your setup.



Cons

The usb hub on this laptop is not working properly. One of the usb headers came off in one of my usb plugs.

When i switch from my laptop to my desktop and back to my laptop, the windows on my monitor go back to small windows, as if they were displaying on my laptop screen. Stopped working after 2 days.

Price


Aside from that, the unit works as advertised for a great price.


This unit is a very good value.


It's 2022 and you can get the greathtek 4 computer dual hdmi kvm switch for $171 (with 10% coupon, at the time of this review)!


My only complaint is i bought mind last week for a bit less than $200, today i found this, at one third of the price.

Shipping


The first unit i was shipped didn't work.

Packaging/appearance


The 2 linux boxes just rolled with it (of course), and picked up the mouse and keyboard with no problems.


The box did contain all the cables you would need for having two monitors and a usb cable for keyboard mouse setup.


It also came with four usb-a to usb-a male cables, not the a to b that most kvm boxes come with.

Competitiveness


As far as technology goes, it works just as well as other monitors on the market.


Amazingly, it just worked as intended right out of the box, cost me less than most of the other models and i even like the hot ...  Read More


And this unit was half the price of other similar kvms.


And i had a 2 monitor kvm switch before this one and i had the same problem on the 2 monitor kvm and the common component is th...  Read More

    My setup is complicated by the fact that the second monitor is also shared as an extended monitor for my 27in imac which confuses things occasionally
