Does exactly what I bought it for

Live screen saver. I struggled to find a setting that would allow me to easily switch between my work and my PC. My work computer is a Dell with a high resolution display and my Mac Mini M1 personal computer. Both send high-resolution image output to my high-resolution, ultra-wide monitor. The setup I have now with this switch is: 1. Two computers are connected to the switch via USB-C2. The wireless keyboard and mouse connect to the regular USB ports on the Switch3. The HDMI cable transmits the image from the switcher to the monitor. Switching between my two computers with a button on the switch is completely seamless. My Mac Mini M1 goes to sleep when it hasn't been used for a long time. To do this, I have to lightly press the Mac Mini's power button to wake it up. I set both computers to not go to sleep and tried the button switch and the display switched smoothly. This switch gave me a very, very clean setup at home. Very satisfied and highly recommended.

Pros
  • Good cause
Cons
  • No insurance
