Review on HDMI VGA KVM Switch Dual Monitor Extended Display 2 Port with Audio USB 2.0 HUB - CKL Dual View PC Monitor Keyboard Mouse Selector Box for Computers Laptops by Paul Rose

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cheap junk. Avoid. in Computer Components

I chose this as a cheaper option when buying a KVM switch and I regret it. Worked mostly for the first few weeks, but then problems began when switching between PCs - peripherals stopped working, monitor resolution changed, etc. After two months of use, USB devices do not work in about 50% of cases for PC1 and the front USB hub does not work on any personal computer Both PCs and all monitors/USB devices have been tested and work great if you don't go through this switch. It also causes problems if one of the PCs goes into "sleep mode" and then you switch again and try to wake it up - it won't accept keyboard or mouse input. The icing on the cake is that it didn't start failing until it was outside of Revain's return window. Save yourself the hassle and spend a little more money on a well-known quality brand instead.

Pros
  • Very Good Value
Cons
  • Unbelievable Price
