Review on ABLEWE KVM Switch HDMI 2 Port Box - Share πŸ”€ Keyboard, Mouse, Printer, and HD Monitor between 2 Computers, UHD 4K@60Hz Support by Josh Zuvers

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Do not buy if you are interested in using computers

There are several problems with this device: 1. It disables USB. Logitech Hub goes nuts every time I switch.2. Sometimes the monitor just disappears. "No signal" or "Cable disconnected". The only way to fix this is to disconnect all devices from this device and reconnect it. Turning the monitor on and off or switching inputs doesn't help. 3. The monitor sits there and blinks (see video). 4. There are thousands of tiny "dead pixel" artifacts on my screen that are not there when I connect my computer directly to the monitor (I would upload a video but Revain says "Only one"). 5. Sometimes my mouse "shakes" and "shakes" when I move it. There were no such problems before. Remove this device and the problem will go away. 6. Suddenly my sound started stuttering several times a day After removing this unit for a day no more problems 7. Disabled HDMI that I have to reset my monitor config every time I switch, Windows moves to other desktops. Note that for me and anyone like me I would prefer all the cables to come out from one side rather than inside out. This makes things messy and difficult to manage. This item is unusable.

Pros
  • KVM switches
Cons
  • Not bad
