Review on πŸ–₯️ DEPZOL Dual Monitor HDMI KVM Switch - 2 Port USB 3.0, 4K 60Hz, Hotkey Support, Wired Remote, for 2 Computers and 2 Extended Displays by Jason Wesley

FIX: Unreliable KVM Switches

FIX: None of the USB ports are working reliably now. Most of the time he works fine, but when he wants to throw a tantrum it's an absolute pain. I like that it can toggle multiple displays. It's very helpful on that front. But sometimes it switches inputs but simply refuses to reconnect the display. I had to toggle back and forth again to get it toggling, and even then sometimes it just chose not to respond until I disabled and re-enabled the host end. The keyboard switcher works on some keyboards, but not on the motherboard I'm using, so I had to do without it. In fact, this board doesn't work at all with the assigned keyboard connector, so I have to connect it to a different connector. I even had a time where the board just wouldn't respond to any ports and I had to plug it into the computer. This isn't the only device that has had this problem. If it has no problems, it behaves like a dream. Fast enough video switching: faster than my monitor's built-in multi-port switching, but by no means instantaneous. Maybe 2-5 seconds. Input switching is instantaneous. I wish I could give that five stars. It's too inconsistent.
