Keyboard switching not working - UPDATE and display issues

I'm not sure if it's a firmware or hardware issue but the keyboard port didn't work at all for me. The keyboard didn't respond at all. Tried multiple keyboards. The mouse worked fine. I plugged my keyboard into a different USB port and it switched fine, but that's a shame because I couldn't test any of the hotkeys for switching desktops. However, the remote button works fine. The other issue was that the DisplayPort switching didn't work when initially set up. I had to turn off the device a couple of times, but once it started working, it's been working fine ever since. Speaking of power, having a dedicated power button seems odd for something I usually wear all the time, but I think it's nice to have that option. Everything is OK. The lack of a keyboard port really annoys me, but that's it. If you need a 2x2 switch, you'll get there with it after some trouble. UPDATE: It's been a few weeks now and I've noticed that the DisplayPort signal sometimes randomly drops for a second. Maybe once or twice an hour. It just seems like a workaround as it doesn't turn off the display and runs the cable directly instead of through the switch to "fix" the issue.

Pros
  • Handy switching modes
Cons
  • Not satisfied
