Review on Red TESmart 2 Port 4K@60Hz Ultra HD HDMI KVM Switch with 2x1, Keyboard & Mouse Pass Through, USB 2.0 Device Support, and 5ft KVM Cables by Sidewinders Rains

He fixed a little thing and, most importantly, broke it.

I already have the original version of the 4-port KVM switch and I'm basically very happy with it. I say "broadly" because the emulator doesn't handle 4K @ 60Hz reliably, often flickers at the bottom of the screen, or worse, no signal after changing the resolution. 1080p120 works fine though, which brings me to this revised 2-port model which is noticeably worse and less stable, not even hitting UHD 60Hz resolution without completely losing sync. Fixed compatibility with a mechanical keyboard like my Corsair K70 Red. The smaller form factor is also underpowered for the size of the cables and remote control, useless for just two output ports. I sent it back and got a quick refund. In general, there aren't many new goodies worth updating.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • The packaging is ugly
