Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Kinan KM Auto Switch: Effortlessly Control 2 Hosts & Monitors with 1 Set of Keyboard-Mouse, Silver by Shane Hartford

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works pretty well on Linux

I got these because I use a KM switch at work and they are great and I wanted my gaming/work -PC works. on one screen and my Raspberry Pi on the other. It works pretty well, with one notable exception (I think my Linux/Windows/Mac range is what I'm seeing in other reviews). Example: - Works fine with my EagleTec mechanical keyboard, doesn't recognize my native MS wireless keyboard and mouse combo (kinda at all) - Works with my Logitech G602 wireless gaming mouse but NOT my Corsair wired gaming mouse . From what I can read on the web it has to do with how the KM switch handles identities of devices and passes them to computers, probably not much you could do in software but trial and error as to which keyboard/mouse works for you . If you're having trouble with your keyboard or mouse, I recommend trying a different one and seeing if that's still the case, you might be surprised.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was
