Review on πŸ–₯️ KCEVE KVM Switch HDMI 2 Port Box - USB and HDMI Switches with 4 USB Hub, UHD 4K@30Hz - Share Keyboard, Mouse, and HD Monitor for 2 Computers - Includes 2 HDMI Cables and 2 USB Cables by Scott Reid

Compact, easy to set up, easy to use

If you want to constantly switch between two PCs with just one set of monitor, keyboard and mouse etc, this KVM is a must have. But not all KVMs are made equal. The main reason I chose this one is that this one can switch between 1 monitor and 4 USB 2 devices, unlike some KVMs that can only switch between 1 monitor and 2 USB devices a compact main unit in a metal case, HDMI, supplied cables, 2 USB cables and a wired remote switch. Setup is easy, you connect up to 4 USB 2 devices and an optional wired switch on one side and connections to 2 PCs and an HDMI monitor output on the other side. A bonus is that this switch is also a USB hub so initially 4 devices use 4 USB ports, with this switch only one USB port is needed at a time. Although it only supports USB2 speed, it is fast enough for keyboard, mouse and printer. I use the 4th USB port for an external audio decoder and you can use it for other devices like UPS etc. Switching between PCs is done by pressing a button on the top of the case, or if you want to hide the main unit you can use a small wired remote switch. The product description only mentions 4K at 30Hz, no mention of support for other resolutions. In my case at least if my monitor supports HDR at a native resolution of 2560 x 1440 at 75Hz no problem. Waking the PC from sleep also works well if your keyboard and/or mouse support this feature. a way to switch between two PCs without moving cables.
