What customers say
Users appreciate the Tripp Lite KVM's robust build quality and the convenience of included DVI and USB cables, making setup straightforward. It reliably handles switching for standard office applications and dual monitor setups. However, a key theme emerges regarding performance limitations. Users pushing higher resolutions or using modern graphics cards report issues like screen flickering and detection failures. The switching process is frequently described as noticeably slow. Additionally, the USB 2.0 connectivity limits data transfer speeds for power users. This KVM is a dependable choice for stable, legacy DVI environments, provided users accept slower switching and standard resolution needs.
