What customers say
Users find this KVM switch offers solid build quality and reliably manages basic dual PC setups when functioning as intended. The core video and standard USB switching is quick and seamless for office use at standard resolutions. However, significant frustration arises from compatibility issues, primarily due to the older DVI interface, which causes flickering or signal loss with modern high-resolution monitors. Furthermore, specialized or gaming USB peripherals often fail recognition or introduce input lag. While dependable for simple, low-demand tasks, the premium price is hard to justify given these limitations. It is best suited for legacy or strictly professional, low-demand environments.
