Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not impressed - it freezes completely from time to time: Updated: Replacing the working block (stars added)

Original review: (The attached image doesn't show a KVM connected - because when I wrote this I was fed up with messing around with cables - this is just to show what it looks like). I'm using KVM with a work laptop (HP Elitebook) and a high-end gaming PC (RTX2080 GPU/AMD Ryzen 2700x CPU). To make it short, KVM intermittently freezes completely (switch button stopped working, keyboard and mouse stopped working), so you need to unplug all cables, turn off computer, plug everything back in, turn on computer again and sometimes it may start working normally again. In other cases, I had to try this process about 6 times in a row before it worked again. When this happens my 27 inch Dell gaming monitor resolution drops to 2560 x 1440 and everything on the screen becomes huge. Also, I can't find a reset button on KVM, so this thing has a huge impact on my productivity. .problems with cables every time this thing freezes for me.I've done IM support with Revain and they're sending me a new one.Let's see if that helps (doubtful at the moment).normal - this problem is intermittent, but it is extremely destructive. Я подумал, что, возможно, я использую неправильный адаптер питания USB (он не входит в комплект, вы должны предоставить его - и я использую 5 В, что и требуется, так что это тоже не то. Тот же адаптер питания отлично работает на других устройствах. Он отлично заряжает мои наушники Bluetooth / умные часы и т. д., а 5 В - это то, что требует KMV. , Кроме того, ввод мыши для KVM для моего ноутбука никогда не работал должным образом. объявление, чтобы подключить специальную мышь к ноутбуку и использовать две мыши, чтобы обойтись. Та же самая мышь через KVM прекрасно работает на моем рабочем столе. Два основных удара по этому для меня. Не впечатлен. Обновленный обзор: я связался со службой поддержки Revain в чате, и, хотя период возврата истек, агент выслушал мою проблему (я купил KVM вместе с двумя кронштейнами для мониторов и 63-дюймовым столом, чтобы улучшить мою рабочую среду по сравнению с тем, что я был - однако 63-дюймовый стол не приходил в течение нескольких недель ( although that e (It's a Prime item) so I waited until I had it before assembling everything. This wait got me out of the KVM return period, but the rep listened to me and after I explained the problem, sent a replacement unit. The replacement block works so far - with a small workaround required. I still had the issue of keyboard and mouse working fine for desktop, but only one worked for me. I found a workaround by plugging one of the USB keyboard/mouse cables into the K/M port on the front of the KVM and the other into one of the USB2.0 ports also on the front of the KVM. This solved the weird issue where K/M only worked on desktop. I don't have a strong need to share another USB2.0 between laptop and desktop. I added two stars because the Revain rep was willing to help me and also because the Sjsmtek seller emailed me to say he got it right. This rating went from negative to positive due to good customer service and ultimately a good solution. I would upgrade to 5 stars if it weren't for the weird K/M issue still there, so I think 4 is fair.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
