Minimum Peripherals / Maximum Desktop Space

When you open the package you will see a mess of cables. But that's just an overview of the mess you already have - if you have multiple computers on your desktop. To me, this looks like a typical work-from-home template. The company's computer is isolated and should be isolated for security or other pragmatic reasons. You can participate in multiple webcasts - one in "Primary Listening" mode and another in "Mandatory" mode. With Switcher, you can use fewer shared peripherals on up to four computers. It might be worth simply avoiding swapping monitors, which are sometimes the hardest to plug and unplug (USB devices can get stuck in hubs). The standout feature of this Basicolor device is probably the 4K (UHD) speed at 60 Hz. This is probably the main requirement for current generation desktops, including minis. As with all similar KVM devices, there may be anomalies in the startup and sleep/hibernate states that you do not switch to the device in time. This depends on various factors. Decent value considering all the cables needed to get the job done.

Pros
  • 4 USB KVM Switch
Cons
  • Can I add something?
