Review on πŸ”Œ LINOVISION 4 Port HDMI KVM Switch with USB2.0 Hub - Control 4 PC/Computer/DVR/NVR/PS3/PS4 using One Set of HDMI Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse by Austin Arvayo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There are not enough European plugs for power and the USB port is not working.

Tested for the first time, so far everything seems to work fine! The only downside is that I need a European power plug but it comes with a North American one. The power supply has detachable pins, so I assume there must be a European adapter somewhere? if only Linovision could supply one or maybe add an option for future buyers. Otherwise the switch is just what I needed; Switching between devices is almost instantaneous. Once you have everything connected, all you have to do is press the buttons and voila. Finally I can easily switch between my PC, my work laptop and a huge collection of Raspberry Pis (Windows and GNU/Linux only, Mac not tested). does not work (there are 3 of them: mouse, keyboard and general purpose USB 2.0). While the switch works with anything, the general-purpose USB port won't recognize peripherals, flash drives, external drives, webcams, or even externally powered USB hubs. , in principle, it's useless, you can just connect a mouse and keyboard and that's it. I'm a bit disappointed because everything else works and I really needed a shared central USB hub to get rid of my desk. Downgraded to 3 stars for this reason.
