Bad implementation, frustrating to use

I used this product to switch between 3 computers; 2 Windows 10 PCs and a ChromeBox. My main computer is a Windows 10 PC, so I observed most of my problems. - My display goes blank for a few seconds every 10-15 minutes. - USB keyboard and mouse are often not recognized by the computer when switching back. I had to stop using the included USB remote for the keyboard and mouse to work properly. - The keyboard started deleting characters and inserting repeated keystrokes after starting using this KVM switch. - Mouse position resets frequently. - You still get USB connect/disconnect sounds from Windows when using this switch. Basically this switch works but the experience is driving me crazy and I can't keep using it. I don't know if the problem is with how they interact with Windows or if there are bugs in their device's firmware, but something needs to be fixed. I will send it back, definitely not worth the 100€. I would have preferred separate HDMI and USB switches that worked reliably to this annoying experience. However, I contacted support and they responded very quickly and respectfully. However, they could not help. So, kudos to customer support for trying, but I just think it's a faulty product and there's not much support can do.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Hard to say
