Review on πŸ–₯️ Tripp Lite Dual Monitor DVI KVM Switch with Audio, USB Hub & Cables: Ultimate Control for Two Monitors (B004-2DUA2-K) by John Bailey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Basic functionality Everything works but needs a workaround for my systems

Does what it should. I can live with the following: * The Kinesis A2 keyboard was not working in the keyboard connector. I moved the keyboard connector to a switchable USB host/client port and it works fine there. This could mean that the keyboard method of switching between computers (dbl scroll lock) might not work, but since I always use the buttons on the Tripp Lite I'm not interested in trying (I always have the KVM buttons instead from the keyboard. It's just a style selection). * It would be nice if the switching z. B. could adjust so that the sound does not switch. workaround. To toggle Kbd and Mon but NOT Audio, I double tap the center, tap left once, tap the center four times, tap left once to move only Kbd and Mon to the left computer. This leaves the sound (streaming music) alone. I've gotten pretty good at this track and it's fast so I'm fine with it. You can buy two of these, wire them together and switch four monitors, but that's a lot of money.

Pros
  • Mini stereo 3.5mm jacks provide speaker (2.1 stereo audio) and microphone support for connected computers
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
