Review on 🔀 HDMI Pigtail Switch: Streamline Your Connections with 60Hz Auto Switching by William Dean

EDIT: Now after a few months I quit this job. I'm not sure if this is a bad block or if I'm using it for other purposes. I have to turn off each HDMI for a source every time I start it. The constant plugging and unplugging rendered it useless, now I just plug the HDMI straight into the capture card and switch cables as needed. It doesn't work for me and makes this device unusable for my needs. I use it to switch between my gaming PC and Xbox for gameplay recording/streaming. It took about 10 days of fiddling to get it working as expected. I'm not sure if it was a device issue or if windows didn't want to duplicate the monitor to this device when it first started. I haven't gotten into a routine that works well. The Switch deck will automatically switch to the first active source, which is great for my use as I rarely use PC and Xbox at the same time. But when I do that, it's very easy to switch between inputs. Pros: - 4k at 60Hz. It's just amazing - All the cables are on the back of the device which makes it very wet and it fits nicely on the table. - There is a non-slip material on the bottom, which prevents the table from being damaged and the device from sliding. This material occupies almost the entire floor and is much better than 4-6 rubber feet. - Comes with a remote control but does not require its use. Cons - Ports are labeled as inputs 1-3 from left to right when viewed from the back. This creates a disconnect (at least in my brain) as the 1-3 LEDs from the 3-1 wire harness on the front panel are very, very, very low LED's. I can't see them from 18 inches away. Fixed an issue where mailbox strips were sometimes added to the output. This only happens with my PC and is fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI output. (only happened twice so far) Overall I would happily recommend it to anyone, it beats anything I've used in this price range.
