*by Z***I on Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2019*

I need this to use at home with my laptops and computers. It is nice to have remote access feature. Working without any issue.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The web interface is pretty cheap and clunky
  

*by C***U on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2017*

The unit functions, more or less. But mouse sync does not work on the KVM, which makes it unusable for all but emergency purposes. The web interface is pretty cheap and clunky. Don't expect a lot of options beyond the basics.
