What customers say
Customers highly value this KVM switch for its excellent budget friendly price and compact design, perfect for small workspaces. Setup is straightforward due to its plug and play nature, and integrated audio switching adds significant convenience for managing two computers. This device excels as an affordable, simple solution for standard office tasks. However, reliability is a concern when using specialized USB peripherals. Users frequently report dropped connections or input lag with high power draw devices like gaming mice or mechanical keyboards. While video switching is generally stable, occasional power cycling is sometimes necessary, indicating performance limitations under heavier use. Overall, it offers great utility for basic needs but shows technical fragility with advanced accessories.
