Decent KVM emulated by K and M

So yes this KVM works fine with my only monitor @ 4k 60hz. I have two power systems in there. The problem I had was that it emulates a keyboard and mouse, so the multimedia functions of keyboards and wireless mice don't work with it. I use a Logitech 502 Lightspeed with a PowerPlay mat and transmitter. It would recognize it, yes, and it would work, but none of the extra mouse features worked. The solution was to run the keyboard and mouse through a USB 3 hub connected to the KVM. Works great. Switching takes a second or two. Keep in mind that you cannot use hotkeys or mouse gestures to change input unless you use dedicated keyboard and mouse ports. They won't work. However, it is useful that the device comes with a handy IR remote control and IR extender if you want to hide the device under the table. An ideal solution that would otherwise cost significantly more than other brands.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Something is wrong
