Wonderful! Electronics

This item works great, at least for my use, and also at an affordable price. Before that I had an Athens KVM DVI switch (which is very similar in design) for years and then paid more than double for them and they are still a lot more expensive. The one in Athens couldn't detect my mechanical gaming keyboard, so I couldn't switch using hotkeys, so I had to buy a cheap keyboard to make everything work "remotely". I am now 100% satisfied with this HDMI KVM switch from CKlau. I got my old expensive mechanical gaming keyboard back out and it wasn't recognized at first either but after contacting the amazing support team it was easy to fix. Instead of plugging this mechanical keyboard into a dedicated USB input, I plugged it into an additional front USB2.0 port and now it works! Even the "Windows" key now works correctly in Windows, just nice. Okay, hotkeys still don't work, but what's the difference, I don't care, now I can easily switch between computers just by double clicking the mouse wheel, then right or left clicking once and that's it (this feature is new and then Athens it was not offered). What better affordable solution to convert all my 4 new PCs to a 4k screen. Also, this device feels solid and high quality, no cheap plastic or anything like that. Thank you!
