Review on 💻 TESmart Mechanical Multimedia Computers Switcher: Streamline your Computer Connectivity by Thomas Silva

Device #1: Keyboard and mouse switched well, but there was a problem with the video output (no HDMI output on my display, even though everything was properly connected and all cables worked). So I ordered a replacement. Block #2: everything was going fine, mouse, keyboard and screen were fine...until I plugged headphones into the headphone jack: only the left audio worked :(To isolate the problem, I still had block #1, so I have the video output still on didn't work but I had good 2 channel audio so I ended up with 2 faulty devices in a row oh well! I no longer reach for the back of the computer to connect cables/power and to reduce the Risks of damaging something Pass through video and data what you need: 4K60 capability is important KVM includes 3 USB input ports for keyboard, mouse and 1 other device, all connected to target computer via USB 2.0 No USB 3.0 doesn't bother me but higher speeds could be useful for offline data transfers or for some kind of high quality webcam It only comes with 2 HDMI cables so you have to use the cable that comes with your display device g was delivered. The Switch also includes a remote control but no battery. So have a CR2025 handy if you want to use this feature. The remote control has "M” and "P” buttons for selecting modes and keyboard pass function, as well as 1, 2, 3, 4 number buttons for selecting 4 PCs that can be connected to the TESmart top model (only 1 or 2 works for this model) The device has 6 lights around the yellow selection button. 2 to tell you if the KVM is connected to your 2 computers, 2 to indicate which computer is currently active, a yellow button to select the active computer, an IR receiver and a mode indicator. Switching takes about 3 seconds. You can switch modes from the default manual toggle mode by pressing the hotkey combination on your keyboard. An interesting mode is the ability to switch computers automatically when your mouse is on the edge of the screen for a second. Other modes include switching computers every n seconds (you specify 0-250), switching buzzer sound, and passthrough mode for using special keys that KVM may not recognize. All 5 buttons work on my 5 button mouse. Conclusion: KVM switches are very user-friendly and can even reduce risk, but this particular brand seems to suffer from quality issues. I would look for evidence that they fixed their quality issues before purchasing.
