Pros & Cons
Pros
Now that i've gotten things stabilized, the system is very solid. Works much better than running messy. Works for me; this is in a server room.
Adding an appropriate amount of shielding to the internal wiring should prevent this. Only real issue is that you hear the windows connect/disconnect chime each time you switch.
The icing on the cake is that it works perfectly with my classic ibm model m keyboard. It works with an older logitech ex 110 wireless keyboard and mouse, when connected to the console keyboard input.
This is my 2nd tripp lite 4 port kvm. Hard to find both moderately priced and moderate quality displayport kvms. The secure power connector is a nice touch!
Cons

Any standard or lower quality cable immediately caused display signal issues at higher resolutions.
0 device ports on the switch, losing the ability to control the hub from the keyboard, and having the keyboard plugged into the... Read More
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.
