Review on Enhance Productivity with Black Box USB-C 4K KVM Switch: 2-Port for Efficient Workflow by Scott Koeck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Too many problems with KVM switches

I have a 16 inch MacBook Pro and a gaming PC with an Nvidia 2080 Ti graphics card. I was hoping to connect these two devices to my LG 38-inch ultra-wide monitor, Apple keyboard, and Logitech wireless mouse. However, I didn't encounter anything other than problems: • Sometimes the video freezes for 1 or 2 seconds. This does not happen when the monitor is connected directly to my PC. I tried different cables and very short cables. It didn't help. • Sometimes my Logitech wireless mouse freezes for a second. This never happens when the Bluetooth mouse adapter is directly connected to the PC. This only happens when connected to a KVM switch. • At one point I used a 10ft active USB-C cable. It didn't transmit any video through the KVM switch at all. I was forced to use a shorter 3 foot idle cable. So this KVM was not working properly at all and was driving me crazy with all the bugs.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Long wait
