What customers say
This KVM switch is highly valued by IT professionals for its robust construction and reliable handling of eight HDMI sources. Users consistently praise the crisp video quality and effective EDID emulation, which maintains monitor settings during source changes. The core strength is stability and fidelity for complex setups. However, the premium price demands flawless operation. Key drawbacks include noticeably slow switching speeds compared to rivals and occasional compatibility issues with specialized peripherals like high-end keyboards. While it solves connectivity problems effectively, buyers should anticipate a significant investment and potential minor configuration hurdles to achieve peak performance.
