Review on πŸ–₯️ GREATHTEK Dual Monitor HDMI KVM Switch: 2 Port with 2 USB 2.0 Hub, UHD 4K@30Hz YUV4:4:4, Hotkey Switch and USB Powered - Complete with Cables by Ken Barnett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works flawlessly and easy to set up!

I have a work laptop/dock, a home desktop and two monitors. I had to constantly switch between them by pressing buttons on the monitors and moving the USB (for my wireless mouse and keyboard) between the two computers. Such troubles! I first ordered a cheaper PWay KVM switch but in the end it didn't work as I really needed two separate HDMI cables going from the box to each monitor (the first box only had one HDMI and I tried to buy an HDMI cable with a splitter (so had two separate HDMI plugs at the end) but it didn't work. Ordered this box and even though it was more than double the price, it works great! Now I hit the "switch" " button on the front of the box and it moves quickly and efficiently between computers (both monitors work great) and the mouse and keyboard work great too (and no need to move the USB!). As per another comment made If you only have one HDMI on the back of your computer (I have an HDMI and VGA port on my desktop and an HDMI and display port on my laptop dock), you will need different ones Cables or adapters as I already had a DisplayPort cable -HDMI and it works fine with my laptop dock (runn to kvm) but I had to order a VGA to HDMI adapter for my desktop (note this one worked here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07121Y1Z3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . There are many VGA/HDMI cables at Revain that do not work as VGA (OUT from computer) to HDMI (IN to monitor or KVM device) - many of them are reversed (HDMI OUT from monitor/KVM to VGA IN on Computer).
