What customers say
User feedback highlights a significant divide regarding this KVMP switch, focusing primarily on reliability versus core functionality. Many appreciate the solid build quality and the convenience of integrated DVI and USB sharing for basic setups. However, a major recurring issue involves unstable performance, particularly with modern graphics cards and higher resolutions. Users frequently report that monitor connections drop or fail to wake correctly due to unreliable EDID emulation. Furthermore, USB peripherals often experience intermittent dropouts, necessitating manual resets. While the feature set is comprehensive, inconsistent performance severely impacts workflow reliability, making it a frustrating choice for demanding professional environments despite its premium positioning.
