What customers say
Customers highly value this KVM switch for its exceptional reliability and durable construction, making it a stable workhorse for professional environments. Its core strength is seamless, consistent switching across Windows, Mac, and Sun operating systems using various connections. Users appreciate the smooth transitions ensured by effective keyboard and mouse emulation. While the unit offers premium performance and build quality that justifies the investment for mission-critical tasks, some friction exists. The reliance on proprietary, costly cables complicates setup. Additionally, integration with very high-resolution modern monitors can present minor compatibility challenges. Overall, stability and build quality are the defining positive attributes.
