Review on πŸ’» Effortless USB-powered Epiphan KVM2USB 3.0: Your Trusted Crash Cart for Seamless Connectivity with Any Target Computer by Agustin Bush

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Unreliable, demanding, etc.

I immediately switched to USB 3.0 kvm for better video streaming and am very disappointed. As other users have said, the keyboard/mouse connection to the target is unreliable. A Linux target (Raspberry Pi 4) has a bunch of USB errors when trying to enumerate the device for a few minutes and then it starts working. Sometimes the KVM hardware or software doesn't handle hot-plugging well. Also the Linux host program hasn't been updated for a long time, I've tried using it with kernel 4.19 and 4.14 and it only works in 4.14. And even then it seems to crash from time to time. Can't believe what they charge for this rubbish.

Pros
  • All-metal body and reinforced connectors for multiple connections and everyday use.
Cons
  • Security
