What customers say
This KVM switch excels in its intended legacy role, earning praise for its reliable performance and solid build quality when managing PS/2 connected systems. Users appreciate the straightforward setup and dependable keyboard mouse connectivity for multiple machines. However, its age presents clear limitations. A primary concern is video quality; performance degrades noticeably at higher resolutions like 1920x1080, making it unsuitable for modern graphical tasks. Additionally, the mandatory use of proprietary cables adds to the overall expense and reduces flexibility. While highly functional for specific older environments, its lack of modern USB support and video constraints confine its value strictly to niche legacy applications.
