Review on πŸ” TESmart HDMI KVM Switcher - 4K @ 60Hz UHD Support with USB 2.0 - 2 KVM Cables Included by Eric Carr

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well but a bit finicky on some video resolutions

Apple Thunderbolt HDMI port) . It works fine after setup. It took a few times to recognize each machine's display (unplug/plug) but then it generally works well and is excellent value for money. Sometimes there are problems recognizing the video signal from the woken up machine. get up after sleep. But since I've never had this machine connected to this monitor, I can't be sure if it was KVM. Please note that it cannot handle anything other than a simple keyboard and mouse setup. I have a Corsair K95 RGB keyboard (which has many additional features that require software drivers) and it no longer works as a standard USB keyboard when toggled. Also, I have a Logitech gaming mouse with extra buttons on the side, and when I press one of those extra buttons, the computer connected to it freezes. Also of note is that I carried an extra set of cables just in case. add a 4th pc eventually, but one of the cables in the original kit had a bad usb cable which caused the connected pc to keep finding/losing the usb connection to the keyboard so i used that extra cable . Be sure to check if something isn't working properly. While I wouldn't call this a complaint by any means (it's a pretty cheap KVM), I'd like to be able to switch video and USB/KB/Mouse independently. I have a 4 display system and only my main monitor toggles in the middle and I have had many occasions where I needed the main display on the main monitor but my mouse was available for the other 3 monitors attached to the main PC were connected. Pros: - Inexpensive for what you get. - Ease of use - you get what you need. Cons: - Sometimes picky about switching between sources with different resolutions - Quality issues with some cables.
