鶹 Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
This is a good and reliable switch. I have my iPad, a Mac Mini, a Windows laptop, and a PS5 connected. They all run at different resolutions and refresh rates. Switching between the devices has been very reliable. It takes around 3 seconds to switch, but the time required for switching also depends on your device and monitors, so expect some inconsistency.
This KVM is built like a tank and it's heavy. The connectors feel nice. It comes with 4 HDMI and 4 USB A-To-C cables. There's a fifth USB A-To-C cable to power the KVM, but that is only necessary if your peripheral draws a lot of power. While on the subject of power, I do want to point out that this KVM runs warm (>40°C). It's not alarming but definitely noticeable.
As per the product description, this KVM does not support Hotkey Switching. For those who don't know, those are the KVMs that let you switch between different devices by pressing a key combination on the keyboard, such as: scroll lock, scroll lock, and then <1, 2, 3, or 4>. Those KVMs can sometimes have issues with fancy keyboards, so they are not perfect either. It really depends on your needs. Switching between different computers on this KVM can be done either with the four buttons on the KVM or using the four buttons on the wired remote. Each button will select the associated computer.
Overall, I really like this KVM. It doesn't have the most amount of ports or a lot of fancy features, but it's reliable. I also really like the build quality. It's expensive (currently $135 CAD) but it's worth it.
