What customers say
Users value this KVM switch primarily for its robust build and superior video fidelity, essential for maintaining high resolutions across multiple systems using dual-link DVI. It proves indispensable for managing complex setups when functioning perfectly. However, consistent reliability is a major concern. Many users report frustrating issues with display handshaking, causing monitors to lose resolution settings upon switching. Furthermore, the USB emulation for keyboards and mice is often unreliable with modern peripherals, forcing reliance on alternative ports. While it offers high performance for dual-link needs, persistent compatibility glitches temper the overall positive reception, suggesting it requires patience for optimal use.
