Highlights
Quality
This does exactly as advertised, great frame rates in games, very workable in day to day stuff too.
The kvm is simple to use all what needed comes inside worked as aspectedanother great product from startech
Because of the security of my job, i could not have any file sharing, or even the possibility of it.
It doesn't get hot, stows away behind the desk with only the little remote button stashed near my keyboard.
Price
It's a good price and from a good company too.
Again, not getting a fancy housing at this price point.
Shipping
[update] the new one arrived right away and works great.
Competitiveness
I bought this kvm to switch between my macbook pro 2019 work laptop and my dell (windows) home desktop.
I have tried a number of kvms to switch between my mac and my pc.
