Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ TESmart HDMI KVM Switch 4 Port 4K@60Hz Ultra HD 4x1 + 2x 5ft KVM Cables | Keyboard & Mouse Pass Through | USB 2.0 Device Support (Black) by Dean Partybus

Great affordable switch - no expensive DisplayPort required

Works incredibly well. I like the way a connection is simulated so that client machines don't have to do a connect-disconnect dance on the keyboard and (especially) the monitor. Your windows stay where you put them. It's worth buying for that alone. Two tech support tips: If you are using a keyboard macro utility (like USB Overdrive or Karabiner) you will need to reassign the device ID as it "looks" like a different keyboard ID but after that it works . Second, my very old Mid 2010 Mac Mini won't boot when the USB port of that device is plugged in - the fix is to unplug the USB, boot it up, have it complain about "no keyboard" and then the USB -connect connector (at this point he sees the keyboard and the error disappears). No problem as I only ever let it sleep except when updating the software.

Pros
  • New
