What customers say
Customers highly value this KVM switch for its core function: reliably managing DVI video between two computers with excellent, clean image quality. The physical build quality is consistently praised as robust and durable, reflecting ATEN's standard for quality. Setup is generally straightforward. The main point of friction involves USB peripheral management. While standard mice and keyboards work well, power users frequently report intermittent connection drops or recognition issues with high-polling rate devices like gaming gear. This inconsistency slightly impacts the overall premium experience. Despite minor USB stability hiccups, the switch remains a solid solution for professional dual PC setups focused primarily on video switching.
