La funcionalidad es suprema

I have three computers: An older Win 10 (my primary machine), an older Fedora Linux, and a newer Win 11 Laptop. I *can* sort of switch between them to do most of what I want do using Cygwin from the Windows machine and ssh to create remotely and I already had a 2-way KVM. The 4-way switch now allows me to also access the laptop with a real keyboard and a much larger screen. I don't use the last port, but it does work properly. I used the extra (for me) HDMI cable to attach the switch to the monitor (bundling the wire) and can't find the the extra USB cable now. (I wanted to measure its exact length.) My older Win 10 uses a graphics card that doesn't have HDMI output, so I needed to get a DVI to HDMI dongle. While waiting for it to arrive, I used the Fedora as the primary. This worked out mostly OK, but not completely. When the dongle arrived I shut down the Win 10 machine, connected the monitor via the dongle, and restarted it. This sort of worked for a short time. The monitor was OK, but windows wasn't happy with the keyboard/mouse. These have a wireless connection plugged into the KVM. The mouse was erratic and would stop. Win 10 eventually complained too, and completely disconnected the USB port. I switched the connection over to port 4 and Windows complained that it couldn't handle it. I suspected that there might be a cable problem, but tried rebooting the Windows machine first. Voila, it started with no mouse/keyboard problem. I hot switched it back to port 1 with no problem. The new switch remained on during all this time. Maybe the Windows problem was due to having the keyboard and mouse connected (but unused) and not the video. I don't know, but there's no problem now, except: The cables are about six feet long, but that's a bit too short for one machine. I'd like the switch to be about an inch or two closer to the front of the desk. Now I have to reach under the monitor to switch. By the way, you *need* to attach the little plastic feet that come with the switch package to the bottom to keep it from sliding on your desk. The picture in the add shows the front and back side of the switch. It should just show the front side and the back side as an alternate picture. The switch is one box, roughly 8" wide x 3" deep x 1 1/8" high (with the feet.) The USB ports switch along with everything else so this is really a KVMU switch, obviously the U for USB. I like the switch, otherwise I wouldn't have spent an inordinate amount of time writing this review. It switches pretty quickly, less than 2 seconds. This is hard to measure exactly because it also takes some time for the OS to respond. I have to hold the switch when pressing the button to keep it from sliding, but I'm not switching often enough for that to be a real problem for me.

This KVM switch makes it easy to control up to four video game consoles with the same TV. The 4K@60Hz video looks sharp and switching between systems is quick and simple with the button control. The USB 3.0 ports are also handy for sharing peripherals without constantly reconnecting cables. Setup was straightforward and it worked well right out of the box.

Funciona bien por unos minutos, y luego deja de detectar los periféricos, y los reconoce de nuevos después de unos segundos. Es muy molesto y parece que le pasa lo mismo a otros compradores de este producto.

This has helped immensely. I carry this in my bag for when I am doing on site pc imaging. Can't beat this, I have a KVM Switch at home that I put aside because this is more practical, and takes up less space! I've recommended to my teammates as well, highly recommended to all who work in the field or in office updating multiple devices at one time.
