What customers say
Users highly value this KVM for its exceptional reliability and robust build quality, making it a dependable workhorse for managing legacy PS/2 and VGA equipment over extended periods. The inclusion of all necessary cables enhances its initial value and simplifies setup. For its intended niche, the switching function is straightforward and consistent. However, its dated technology presents clear limitations for modern setups. Customers report significant frustration with compatibility when using adapters, and signal quality degrades noticeably at higher resolutions or with longer cable runs. Ultimately, this switch offers great stability and value specifically for older systems but is not suitable for contemporary desktop integration due to technological constraints.
