Excellent KVM Switch

Once I've ordered the right model (with sound) it's perfect for running my two desktops and a laptop with the same keyboard, mouse and monitor. Easily switch between computers by pressing buttons on the device. The mouse can also be used to switch between computers, but it switches between computers and moves up or down one at a time. I am very satisfied with this KVM switch.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Quality

I wanted to like this KVM switch. This was intended to replace the 4 port KVM that was VGA and PS2. I bought a newer laptop and found that Win 10 doesn't support PS2 mice. who knew So I decided to get a new KVM with HDMI and USB as all my systems support it. So I went with this one as it offers 8 cables while the similar one only offers 4 cables. The wired remote control didn't work. It lit up, but as soon as I tried changing systems they all went away and I had to toggle the switch with the…

great quality in Computers & Accessories

This product is made of superior materials, very durable and has a metal body. I use it to connect two laptops and use a monitor, this KVM switch also allows the mouse and keyboard to work very well together.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish

Reliable product, easy setup, perfect for working from home

I have been using my home computer (large desktop with a good 32" monitor) for working from home but have recently had to use a company laptop to access certain applications. Then I was reassigned to a new project, which forced me to use a second client-provided laptop. Working with tiny laptop screens, even for a short time, became a real problem and I didn't have room on my desk to attach two more monitors Kit includes all the cables you need. The device itself is quite solid (metal body) and

Pros
  • Great selection

Works well but keyboard/mouse controls are annoying

Generally works well. Switches fairly quickly and doesn't degrade quality or latency - if configured correctly. And by "right" I mean don't plug your mouse into the port it's supposed to plug into, instead use a hub on the front panel. I had latency issues when using the 'correct' port. Also, the default keyboard controls are pretty nasty and the documentation isn't great. Here's what you need to know. Most commands take this form: press the special command key (CTRL by default) twice, then…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance

Wonderful! Electronics

This item works great, at least for my use, and also at an affordable price. Before that I had an Athens KVM DVI switch (which is very similar in design) for years and then paid more than double for them and they are still a lot more expensive. The one in Athens couldn't detect my mechanical gaming keyboard, so I couldn't switch using hotkeys, so I had to buy a cheap keyboard to make everything work "remotely". I am now 100% satisfied with this HDMI KVM switch from CKlau. I got my old expensive

Stupid switch, not smart.

This turned out to be a dumb switch, meaning it is equivalent to plugging and unplugging cables and allows connected computers and monitors to determine the appearance and disappearance of the smart switch . In contrast, the computer gives the impression that it still has everything connected to the same monitor, USB keyboard and mouse, even if the monitor is pointing to a different machine. The computer never sees the shutdown event when switching from kvm to another computer. The result of…

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
