Nearly perfect. - Computers and accessories

The first unit sent to me didn't work. The return was processed quickly and the 2nd device works *perfectly*. This is almost the only HDMI KVM that supports TWO output screens. My setup uses a 1440p (21:9) ultra widescreen monitor as the primary display, plus a "regular" 1080p secondary monitor with a 16:9 aspect ratio. I have two desktops and a laptop attached to them, and resolution changes are handled just fine. I am very happy with the speed and performance of this device. The ONLY issue I…

  • Ideal for a small home

KVM Switch - KVM Switches

Works like a charm. Easy assembly with all cables included, but check your monitor and video connections before installing. This is not a problem with the switch as it uses the current connection ports. The other problem, but by no means minor, is that when you switch to another computer, the previous computer loses its USB, since it is USB, so you get the computer's warning sound as such. It can be rated positively. So far this has worked great. In addition to the mouse and keyboard, the…

Connect a keyboard and mouse to both work and personal laptops

Working from home requires me to be able to use two monitors for work purposes. My home office was messy (and cluttered) as I had to constantly drag cables from one dock and reconnect them to another so I could switch between using two monitors for both computers. This KVM switch has made life so much easier. Since I had to take care of the first connections and disassemble all the wires. But once that's done, switching between computers is done with the push of a button. Four separate ports…

So far so good but watch your connections

After trying a few other switches this one finally works for me. Plug and play was pretty easy, but I noticed a few things: 1. Make sure your monitor has the correct connectors. I thought I could use adapters to get my display port monitor working with this setup, but I couldn't get it to work. I may have missed it somewhere in the product description, but your monitors must have HDMI.2 connectors. When I turn on something on the second PC slot, one of my monitors flickers for about 1 minute…

Rugged design that takes up less desk space

This KVM switch has made my home/work experience easier and reduced the number of devices and cables on my desk. Before purchasing these 4 dual monitor PCs, my rig was assembled along with a few electronics and knick knacks. I used a Lenovo x1 laptop, an i5 core mini pc and a raspberry pi 4. My KVM switch is 2 and 1 cpu screen only so my keyboard and mouse switched to a 15.6 portable monitor between mini pc and laptop. . I then used an HDMI switch to enable the DP port with a DP-HDMI adapter…

Problems in less than a month

Initial installation went smoothly. My video looks a bit blurry, but I can deal with that. The first problem occurred while I was busy at work and KVM locked me out. I didn't have time to troubleshoot, so I reverted to my old setup and finished the job. After that I put that KVM back into my setup and it seemed to work fine. The second problem is that one of the USB ports has detached from one of my USB ports. I only have one USB plug now. Also, I can't get my Steelseries mechanical keyboard to

Wireless keyboard and mouse on the same USB - had problems

Many years ago I had a Belkin box for the PS2 interface - up to 6 computers - and I only used it for 4 computers. Then, when USB devices became the norm for mice, you had to use USB to PS2 converters. Finally I gave up. I started researching when a good USB KVM switch would come out from time to time. I've recently gotten both a Raspberry Pi and a Jetson Nano and the need for this switch grew to seek - again. That's when I came across this device. I read the reviews on the Revain and some of…
