Review on πŸ’» USB 2.0 VGA KVM Switch with USB Hub and Audio - 2 Port, Up to 2048x1536 Resolution - Ideal for PC or Monitor Switching by Nicholas Lim

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cute! Computer Components

Works with Linux Ubuntu, an old Mac Mini (El Capitan) and Windows 10 on a Dell desktop all at the same time if you have a 4 port version which I don't have ie ' oh, more on that later. plug and play I didn't even open the neat little user guide until I ran into an error where Linux was only partially displayed on my monitor. The documentation says you should try the Windows-P keyboard shortcut, and it worked! Wow! Oh, and it also said to disable everything when physical connections are made, which I didn't do, my fault, but it worked anyway. Now I'd like to buy a 4-port model instead of a 2-port model because I still need to physically switch between my Linux and Mac Mini, but it's easy to switch to KVM instead of all three ports for each peripheral to move. Anyway, I only use my old Mini as a NAS, so I didn't think about adding it to a KVM switch until I saw how easy it would be. And I haven't tried playing Path of Exile on Dell yet, so I can't tell if the video is slow or not. Nothing remarkable for other use cases. Pros: Easy connection, good user guide, smooth button switch to kvm, works with multiple operating systems. Cons: some noise in the sound, don't know what to do about it.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Something's wrong
