Review on 2 Port Dual Monitor HDMI KVM Switch with 4K@30Hz, 2 USB 2.0 Hub, Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Support, Hotkey Switching, No Power Adapter – Includes 4 HDMI Cables by Sean Maile

Updated: Great product, needs extra HDMI cables to work properly

Update 10/07/20: After exchanging an email with the seller I realized I needed 2 extra HDMI cable needed to get 2 monitors working. with 2 PCs. It's nice that they send you almost all the cables you need, but what's not so nice is that you're missing two HDMIs. I mean they send you 4 HDMI cables, why not just add 2 more to get the finished product? Since they sent all other telegrams, I assumed the other two were optional. But once I got the 2 extra HDMIs and plugged them in, it works as it should/advertised. The hotkey combo to switch between two PCs sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, but the button on the device always works in 2 short days of using the device. ---------------- In short, I can only get one of the displays to work. I tested this by connecting both monitors to my two PCs and was able to confirm that both monitors displayed an image. So both the home (PC1) and work laptop (PC2) can display two monitors as long as they are NOT connected to KVM. But when I connect monitors to the KVM switch, only one of the monitors works. Next, I tested it by connecting each monitor to the HDMI ports, and whatever monitor I connected to the KVM switch's TV2 port (the top HDMI port), that monitor didn't work. This seems to be an issue that others have experienced in the past when I read the Q&A on the product page. I can switch between PCs by pressing a button on the KVM and it works very well. It's convenient to use a wireless keyboard and mouse and switch between your work laptop and your personal desktop with the push of a button, even if it's just a monitor at the moment. I hope they will contact me soon to send a replacement. If that is the case I will update this review but at this point based on my experience and reading other reviews they seem to have a small quality control issue with the products. available and they were supposed to send me an email address to contact support regarding the product, but that didn't happen either.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Expensive
