Review on 🔁 2-Port HDMI KVM Switch with USB 2.0 Hub, UHD 4K@30Hz, Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Support, No Power Requirement, Includes HDMI and USB Cables by John Hashman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

works with my easy install

UPDATE @ June 6th: My 32 inch LG monitor has failed and I have replaced it with an ultra wide 34 inch monitor with a 2560 x 1080 resolution. Through tech support, Revain determined that this KVM switch would not consistently work for my configuration. Когда я подключаюсь напрямую к ноутбукам с помощью того же кабеля HDMI, у меня есть разрешение 2560 x 1080. Проходя через переключатель KVM, 2 из 10 раз я мог получить 2560 x 1080, но я всегда могу получить 1920 x 1080, и это не сработает to me. I'm not sure if the problem is that the ultra wide monitor is not 4K or if the problem is the lack of power to the KVM. I had to switch to my SeaWit powered 4 port KVM and now I get 2560 x 1080 resolution throughout. I'll post an update in case anyone else has a similar configuration. There is no change in precedence as my use case doesn't seem to be supported by the switch. ------------ Initial rating - 4 stars as I've only used it for a few days with no problems (already). I have a basic home office setup: a 32-inch LG monitor, a Lenovo TP480 laptop, and a powerful Surface Book2 model. Both laptops are connected via docking stations with Ethernet, HDMI, USB-C and USB ports (2 and 3). Each docking station connects to its respective laptop via a single USB-C cable, which also provides power. The main plus for me are the 4 USB2.0 ports on the front of the KVM switch. I'm using one port for a Logitech Unifying receiver (for a K800 wireless keyboard and MX Anywhere 2 mouse), a second port for a Logitech C910 HD camera, a third port for my DuKabel ProSeries 3.5mm mouse USB dongle and a fourth port for my Samson. Microphone G Track Pro. Everything worked as soon as I connected the devices. Switching between laptops takes 1-2 seconds, and the screen, mouse, and keyboard are instantly active. The small size and lack of a power cord are also plus points in my book.

Pros
  • electronics
Cons
