Review on ๐Ÿ’ป HDMI KVM Switch: Share Keyboard, Mouse, and More between 2 Computers at 4K@30Hz with USB Support by David Ramirez

Super Space Saver KVM for Multiple Computers

It's been a while since I felt the need for a hardware KVM switch. After finding a software solution that would allow me to share multiple computers and monitors with a "master" computer, I figured that was all I really needed. The problem I found is that the software I found has some issues when you try to use it with computers that can connect to the same network but over different corporate VPNs or LANs. So the hardware option is back in my toolbox. I couldn't ask for a smaller form factor and easy configuration. Basically you have a USB-A port for connecting the keyboard and mouse as well as a main monitor via HDMI. You then connect two different computers to the same USB-B and HDMI port. There is a physical switch button on the device itself, as well as a separate switch that connects to the device via its own switch, allowing you to have true KVM. Device may be slightly away from your work area.
