This KVM switch is exactly what I was looking for. It is built very well and functions just as good as well as being compact. I really like the fact that you can switch between computers by the press of a button from the included wired remote. I have several computers under my desk including the KVM switch and just the wired remote on my desk. It makes it very convenient and clutter free.

When I plug the (wired) keyboard into the USB ports on the front, it should work with both computers as I switch back and forth. Same for the mouse and all peripherals. The ports do not read anything for either computer. This is not how it is supposed to work. Anything plugged into any of the USB ports on the KVM switch should be instantly read by whichever computer the switch is set to. Why does it not work this way? The USB ports are completely dead and useless. Only the HDMI works. Also, why is this design flaw repeated in multiple brands? I have purchased other KVM switches and have not found a working one yet. I am assuming these are all from the same source and different companies put their name on them. Does anyone make a KVM switch that actually works exactly as it is supposed to? Any recommendations? Money is no object. I need this to work exactly in the most intuitive way, it should work instantly, and I should not have to diagnose engineers failure like this. Two computers, one screen, one set of peripherals. It's not that hard for engineers to design such a thing, but if there is no leadership or quality control the end product will never be right.

Seamless with the combination of a Dell xps and Lenovo p15. The monitor is a 38" Dell at 3840x1600, 60 Hz refresh. The shared usb devices are:- Wired keyboard- Logitech wireless mouse- Logitech cameraI'm using high quality hdmi 2.1 cables, no dp to usb adapters, etc. The change from one computer to the other typically happens in less than 5 seconds.

Surprised by how small it is. I needed a new KVM that could handle my LG monitor at 3440x1440, 60Hz, this little unit is working fine at it. The switch button is a plus, my previous KVM required a key combination on my keyboard, this is much better. The unit comes with a power cable that plugs into a USB power supply but the unit is working without this, I guess the USB peripheral cables are supplying enough power for the unit to operate.

I have a small home lab with 4 mini-PCs and needed a way to reduce space and hassle with accessing their consoles. This compact KVM is just what I needed and works very well. I like that it has lights that show that HDMI and USB are connected along with a light that shows which PC is selected. It runs off of USB power which can also be a benefit. Selection is made on the front of the unit or you can use the wired remote. Easy to setup and easy to use.

Review of B0DQY742SY - HDMI KVM Switch 1 Monitor 2 Computers USB3.0, 8K@60Hz:As a computer professional, I've used more than a dozen KVM switches over the years. Most have some quirks. Let me offer some examples:My favorite KVM is a 4 port HDMI switch I use to switch between computers running different operating systems. But it also has a quirk, but a quirk that I kinda like: It instantly switches to any computer I turn on. I usually like that, but not always, because I'd like to be able to turn on a computer and let it boot up and be ready for when I'm ready for it, rather than having to watch it boot up.I have another 2-port HDMI KVM switch between two identical computers which has a different quirk: Computer A is up and running and, while working on it, I turn on computer B to let it boot up. Later I switch to B and it's booted and ready to go. But -- and here's the quirk -- if I'm working on computer B and computer A goes to sleep, it instantly kills the video on computer B. However I can quickly regain computer B's video by switching back to A and waking it up. My workaround is to extend the sleep time on computer A and return to it periodically to keep it active so computer B doesn't lose video. I had been working around this quirk for over 2 years, and decided I'd take the opportunity to order this KVM switch to replace that 2-port KVM switch.But this switch has its own set of quirks: All switching is done manually, it does not automatically switch to the computer just turned on. If I set the KVM switch to computer A, watch it fully boot, then switch to computer B and watch it boot, they both work independently and I can freely switch back and forth. But if I remain on A while turning on B and allowing it to boot, when I switch to B there is no video, and video cannot be regained for B, though A still has video. Even though there is no video for B, usually the keyboard and mouse do work so I can blindly press Alt-F4/Enter to shut down computer B and then reboot while remaining switched to B to establish video for B. It appears that the KVM must be switched to the computer as it is booting in order to establish video. I have not investigated how the previous 2-port KVM accomplishes this, the 4-port forces the issue by automatically switching when you turn on a computer.That's the only quirk I've found thus far, so if that's not an issue for you, this KVM switch seems to work fine otherwise. Set the KVM to computer A and turn it on until it boots, then switch to computer B and turn it on and watch it boot, then you can freely switch between the two.

Supports older, though not ancient, computers. A lot of mid-2000s high-end graphics cards offered at least one, and often had a pair of DVI outputs. Modern USB3.0 switches should slow down to match 2.0, though maybe not adding functions that aren't needed is good for reliability. Good compatibility for systems from the age of Legacy-Free but still pre-Displayport PCs from the beginning of the DX10 days.
