Price


Expensive and worth it; clearly a case of you get what you pay for.


For the price of this device, the tech support is unprecedented.

Shipping


Even though i have amazon prime it took a week to arrive.


Two days later, after the dvi-d cables arrived the 2nd displays are working.


We came to a solution within 15 minutes.

Competitiveness


No other issues to report beyond those two, and as this was far less expensive than any other dp 1.


Also, unlike many units in this price range, this kvm has automatic cycling between inputs, which is helpful when you're monito...  Read More


I tried a more expensive kvm from connectpro first and it was terrible.


I have connected a xeon winserver 2012r2, a core2 ubuntu 20, and a couple different flavors of raspi.
