Good unit but needs better power supply

I bought the 2 port HDMI version of this KVM and am using it on an old 26" Asus monitor with a resolution of 1600x1200. Price . The supplied cables are a bit short but appear to be of good quality. If you have problems with it, especially if the video doesn't work, try replacing it with a better quality power supply. Charger, so any old phone charger will probably work. Background: When I first plugged in KVM, the USB switch worked fine, but I couldn't get the HDMI pass-through to work. Neither my laptop nor desktop would use the external monitor I first thought it was either broken or somehow incompatible with my setup. I suspected the power supply wasn't up to the task, so I replaced it with a better one. The video appeared immediately. I changed it back and it stopped working again. Maybe it's one off and I just have a bad power supply, but I saw a few comments saying it didn't work with their monitor or resolution when that should have been based on the specs. I think this KVM is only power sensitive, either due to EMI or simply lack of power. Anyway, it works great now and I'm happy with it.

Pros
  • Best in niche
