Review on πŸ–₯️ 2 Port HDMI Dual Monitor KVM Switch Box with USB 2.0 Hub, 4K@30Hz, Hotkey Switching – Ideal for Dual Port Video, Screen Sharing, Keyboard and Mouse Computer Switching by Kevin Ilango

Not worth the hassle or money

Now I've tried this KVM switch with two unique sets of docking desktops/laptops and it didn't fully work with either of them. It is completely unclear whether KVM is ported correctly via keyboard/mouse. I've had a couple of occasions where it showed me a desktop display, but lo and behold I see the mouse still moving there on my laptop screen. And yes, I'm 100% sure it's connected correctly, and when I've toggled it between the A/B settings multiple times, it ended up switching the K/M output correctly. I moved to a new house and the Switch, despite being bubble wrapped and transported in my car with the rest of my computer stuff, was essentially non-functional for the K/M when it was set up again. I kept using it because at least I could toggle the displays accurately. However, having gotten a new laptop at work, now not even one of the displays is ported over the new docking station. When I connect it directly to the docking station it works, but not to the KVM switch. I've done so much L1 debugging trying to figure out what's wrong with the keyboard/mouse (and it was definitely always KVM) that I won't troubleshoot any further. I'm in the process of replacing it with something else just a few months after purchasing it.

Pros
  • Dual 4K KVM Monitor
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance
