I was very pleased to see a Displayport 1.4 KVM Switch with USB 3.0 for under $100 backed by the US company. I wanted a switch that supports 144Hz and Gsync. I'm happy to report that this one does. That being said, I chose this switch because Monoprice told me it retains the PC's ability to wake up if I switch back to them after they've gone to sleep. Switches in this price range usually don't do this. When the Switch arrived I confirmed that it somehow handles it - the PC wakes up as promised. (This feature is not mentioned in the product documentation.) Everything was great until I started playing games. The mouse didn't work (limited range of motion) and the KVM switch itself switched to another PC. When I contacted Monoprice, they offered to find a replacement. The replacement did the same. I continued troubleshooting on my own and found the mouse port on the switch (there are dedicated keyboard and mouse ports that offer some pretty cool switching functionality) to be unreliable. In fact, my mouse software wouldn't recognize the mouse if it was plugged into that connector. However, when I connect the mouse to one of the standard USB 3.0 ports, everything is fine, except for the fact that the mouse-triggered switching functions are not available and I lose the USB port (the dedicated mouse port doesn't work ). works like a standard USB connector). Hence the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars. Overall, I'm very happy with the Switch, mainly because it supports PC wakeup. However, a big plus is the keyboard shortcuts for switching PCs (i.e. no need to use the IR remote).
