Revainrating 4 out of 5

Only worked with the first input. So it defeats the purpose.

The family member who bought it for used it with their PS4 Pro and Xbox One S gaming systems. When it was set up, Xbox One and PS4 Pro did not work at the same time. The PS4 Pro which was on input 1 worked fine. But the blue light for the Xbox One S input, which was on input 2, was blinking, and at the same time, the light for input 1 was blinking red. When this happened, the screen went black until the blue light from input 2 came back on. We tried unplugging everything, including the powered power supply, and plugging it back in one at a time, then turning the unit back on. We also tried about 10 other things that worked now. Aside from the issues I've had with it, it appears to be very poorly constructed. It's small, which isn't a bad thing, but it's made out of incredibly cheap plastic and doesn't feel very durable. Even though it is small, it takes up a lot of space since the output ports (to the TV) and input port 5 are on the right and left side of the device. That means you need enough space on either side for a length of HDMI cable, and it makes cable management extremely frustrating and the environment unsightly. Once you peel off sticky plastic on top, like the one you see on the face of cell phones when you first get them, it leaves sticky streaks all over the visible top of the device, making it even more unsightly. However, we could solve all these other problems if everything works as intended.

Pros
  • Accessories and consumables
Cons
  • Very expensive
