I like this KVM good for external components

So first of all I've been using a cheap KVM for years (I use a Mac for most things but I need a monster PC for gaming and I don't attract myself don't need separate monitors for each machine) but I recently bought a new monitor and was really tired of switching KVM, monitor and audio separately. Finally tired of this after 6 years of teaching. When I found a KVM that fit my needs I got a big shock but what the heck I really need a solution and I won't be going to just Mac or PC any time soon so I bought this one hoping that he would solve my problems. I really like this KVM. This doesn't really fix my monitor issue, but I doubt it's a KVM issue (my Mac mini only supports HDMI and ALWAYS had trouble pairing with my Asus ROG monitor). doesn't work unfortunately), but otherwise it's excellent. The picture quality hasn't degraded at all compared to the direct connection, the consolidated sound was fantastic, and it has a nice solid build that's much nicer to use than my old plastic KVM with a button attached to a thin wire . My only cautionary tale is know what your current hardware can handle before investing in something like this. It's not the product's fault that the Mac Mini doesn't go well with my monitor's brand. To be honest I would rather replace the monitor than KVM at this point as I never use the expensive features of my monitor that I paid for. All in all a great product, highly recommended. Oh, and it doesn't come with wires. (except electricity). Purchase the wires you will need along with this.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • negative impression
