Review on πŸ–₯️ GREATHTEK Dual Monitor HDMI KVM Switch: 2 Port with 2 USB 2.0 Hub, UHD 4K@30Hz YUV4:4:4, Hotkey Switch and USB Powered - Complete with Cables by Jim Escobedo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good dual monitor KVM, slight adjustments desired

KVM supports all the apps and games I run on two 27" 1080P monitors. /wishes.1. Place keyboard and mouse connectors on the back (leave USB 2.0 on the front).2. Support for powered/backlit keyboards in the keyboard connector I need to use a USB 2.0 connector for my keyboard that doesn't allow me to use keyboard shortcuts. This is not a gaming keyboard, but it is backlit. Only the USB 2.0 ports provide the power required to use the keyboard. I don't know why we can't get 500mA (USB 2.0 spec) from this port as it powers my optical mouse. KVM from one of the computers, but when I turn off the computers that KVM is connected to, as a result, there are no screens, and the keyboard and mouse for the others remain on. *** UPDATE JUNE 29, 2020 *** #2 above was the result of a faulty device. Got a replacement and the keyboard and mouse work great, as do the hotkeys. In addition, the device works without a USB adapter, since computers supply power to the USB ports even when they are switched off, as long as they are still plugged in. So #3 is no longer a problem either. I would also like #1.

Pros
  • Rugged build
Cons
  • Dull packaging
