USB3.0 KVM Switch HDMI 4K@60Hz for 4 Computers Share 1 Monitor, KVM Switch 4 Port with 3 USB 3.0 Ports Share Keyboard Mouse, Support Button Switch, Plug and Play

Setup: Literally a breeze. Plug everything in and it just works. No drivers or anything. Worked for me on Windows 10, 11 and several flavors of Linux servers. Performance: The switch handles video in an expedient manner. Meaning the switching between machines is almost instantaneous. I had no rendering issues such as screen resolution changes or color funkiness. There is no distortion when inseting this KVM into the chain. I have had other KVM’s where the mouse would lag a bit. That is not the case here. In fact, I was using a wireless mouse and had no lag. To switch machines it is a simple press of a button. Switching is quick and simple. Build: The KVM is made of metal! Nice as compared to a plastic alternative. Cables: The cables that come with the unit are functional, but you may find them a tad short for some applications. Fortunately 6 foot USB and HDMI cables are not expensive. However, in terms of quality the cables are good and present no issues. Conclusion: If you regularly juggle two or more computers at one desk, or have multiple servers in a closet this is the ticket to cleaning it up. Sharing a monitor between 4 systems is a worthy benefit. This unit is priced well and I feel it is a good value in terms of performance.

Super easy to use it is very practical because I can use it anywhere its connection cable is quite long it is made of a fairly durable material I recommend it

For the price, you simply can't beat this KVM! It has a nice compact footprint, is super-quiet (no cooling fans, etc.), transitions from session to session smoothly with little lag and uses standard USB and HDMI cables (no proprietary KVM cables needed). My main complaint is when switching from host to host the USB devices are connected/disconnected - this causes the sound for "USB Device Disconnected" to be played on the machine you are transitioning from, and "USB Device Reconnected" to be played on the machine you are transitioning to. Of course this is SUPER annoying, but you can turn off these sounds in the Themes on each of the machines connected to the KVM (unfortunately this will apply to ALL USB Connect/Disconnect actions not just those on the KVM). The sounds can be dealt with, but because of the way the KVM manages these devices you're going to see a LOT of USB Device Disconnect/Reconnect messages in your hardware audit log, and of course this introduces a slight lag when transitioning from session to session. My prior KVM (a Belkin F1DP116G) kept signal to the keyboard and mouse on each host machine active (whether USB or PS/2) so this was not a problem - if this KVM could do something similar it would be a HUGE improvement! Gripe #2 is the location of the 3 USB ports, they are all in the front of the unit. Meanwhile all OTHER cables connect in the back. I think it's great to have USB ports in the front for things you might want to plug in and take out (like a thumbdrive), but could you put at least two or three in the BACK so we can connect the keyboard and mouse (and maybe one other permanent device) in the back and not have their cables visible on the front of the unit? Lastly, the unit is powered by a USB-C cable to an AC power adapter. I have this plugged into a power distribution switch on the same circuit as my monitors. At the end of the day I flip the switch to turn off this circuit to power down my monitors and KVM switch - but the KVM still has power! It must be drawing power from the USB cable to one of the hosts (that is up and running 24/7)! It would be helpful if the KVM would power down when the power supply to it via the USB-C cable is terminated. Bottom line: Great value for the price, seems efficient and reliable - but with room for improvement.

The KVM switch works like it should I have hooked 4 computers to it and able to switch between them effortlessly. The problem I faced was that my gaming mouse and keyboard would "freeze up" for anywhere from 1 second to 12 (the longest one I counted). I realized that the switch did not provide enough power to keep these devices stable. I purchased a USB 3 switch, plugged my mouse and keyboard connectors into that, and that into the KVM. Everything now works perfectly. I subtracted one star for this shortcoming. It cost another $17 to fix an issue that should not exist in the first place. I hope this helps anyone that has the same symptoms.

I ordered the 8K 2X DP version of the switch. My goal was to share 2 monitors, keyboard, mouse, webcam, and headset between my main PC workstation and a business laptop. My main PC has dual DP monitors with 4080 GPU. My laptop has a USB-C device that outputs two DP outputs. I connected everything together and am able to easily switch back and forth between my main PC and the laptop with simple press of button. There is of course a slight delay, similar to what you see when a PC/Laptop wakes up, but this is not an issue with the switch, it's just how laptops and PCs work. I don't have to keep the laptop open, it just sits there closed and out of the way. When I hit the switch, the laptop wakes up and connects. I was a bit concerned about gaming performance on my primary PC, but have not noticed any issues and still get 3840x2160 at 144 Hz. The switch includes 3 standard USB ports for things like keyboards, mouse, webcam, etc. that you might want to share between the two computers. Since I have 4 devices, I added a simple Anker USB splitter to the switch. The splitter works fine and all four devices share with no problem with both the PC and laptop. Couple of things to note. You must use all native DP cords. I tried a HDMI-to-DP cord since one of my monitors had HDMI, and that did not work. I switched out the HDMI monitor with a DP monitor and that worked fine. Also, you must provide a USB-C power source, don't go cheap on that. I'm using a Anker 67 watt charger, which is probably overkill, but it works. Overall, I'm 100% pleased with the switch.

I have 4 devices on this (one laptop, 3 PCs), three of which are 4K & 60fps, all plugged into a Samsung 32" 4K monitor (LU32J590UQUXEN if you're bothered). All devices have HDMI audio pass-thru which is running into the KVM over HDMI and back out of it to the monitor, then out of that via phono to a set of speakers. It all works well. This little switch (which incidentally is surprisingly heavy) handles it all. I think some of the people who complain about the switching delay are actually seeing their monitor reconnect, so it may not in fact be the KVM causing the delay at all, it may be the monitor. I had some oddness with the KVM until I plugged it into a 2A charger rather than trying to power it off the hosts. It will actually appear on, and will "work" off the PC USB power, but for it to be reliable it needs its own power source (not supplied with the unit). I used a phone charger. The LEDs showing which lines are connected (and that the unit has power) are too bright, I've taped over mine with insulation tape to dull it. I found one PC that didn't like the fact that my keyboard has a USB hub in it, which caused an issue as the KVM is *also* a USB hub. Unplugging the second cable from my keyboard (thus removing its hub) fixed this issue. I found the supplied HDMI and USB cables to be too short, so I used other ones I had laying around. The supplied HDMI are just regular ones, around 1m long. I replaced all 5 (4 to hosts, 1 to screen) with 2m HDMI cables I had. The supplied USB KVM to host cables are USB-A at one end (the switch end) and USB-B at the other (male at both ends), again only around 1m. I mention this because in 2021, USB-A is prehistoric; if you want a cable longer than 1m you'll likely need to buy it separately. I was lucky to have a load of old ones. Surprisingly good little device for the money. I paid £70.

I tried and send back a few HDMI KVM switchs claiming to support 4K but unable to handle 1920x1200 resolution (16/10 format so appreciated for photo editing). This KVM does it very well. Then, the only missing feature is the remote control meaning the box is to be located on the desk to be accessible. Apart from this, this is a nice device.

En comparación con un viejo KVM VGA(RGB analógico) al que sustituye, las mejoras saltan a la vista. Una mayor capacidad de resolución para soportar el cambio de monitores al que está destinado , (aunque los conectores son HDMI 1.4 soporta la transmisión HDMI 2.0 de alta resolución). Los diodos led excelentes y muy bien posicionados estéticamente. El Hub para 4 dispositivos USB tiene un pequeño inconveniente como que debería tener 2 entradas B de conexión en la parte frontal para compartir dispositivos Usb, (como pendrives etc.), y las otros dos para el teclado y el ratón detrás, formando parte del cortejo de conexión REAR de los conectores A y HDMI. Los cables suministrados no tienen una longitud excesiva pero son de calidad. No haría falta alimentarlo a 5v. pero yo utilizo el cable de alimentación suministrado para introducirlo en una ranura usb y así alimentarlo desde el PC ya que no trae fuente de alimentación. Por lo demás muy bien. Excelente relación calidad precio, Lo recomiendo para utilizar cuatro ordenadores a la vez con un único teclado y ratón y añadir la posibilidad de extender tus escritorios o pantallas para los 4.

Benutze die Switch um ein MacBook M1, ein HP ZBook mit Linux und ein Lenovo mit Windows 10 mit meinem externen Bildschirm zu verbinden. Benutze für alle Laptops die selbe Maus und Tastatur. Das hin und her schalten funktioniert super. Die Qualität scheint auch solide zu sein. Die Buttons und die Haptik fühlen sich hochwertig an und haben einen spürbaren Druckpunkt. Einziges Manko, wenn man die Switch ausschaltet, funktioniert sie zwar nicht mehr (wie gewollt), allerdings leuchten die Buttons noch. Das ist etwas störend in einem dunkeln Raum in dem man auch schlafen möchte.

Que ce soit pour du télétravail, geek ce genre de produit est excellent vous pouvez brancher consoles, pc lecteur/blueray/DVD et tout contrôler avec un clavier / souris ( quand le device le permet ( console pc etc..) vraiment un gain de temps et de place
