I started with a cheaper 4 port dual HDMI KVM, however I grew real tired of there being no EDID emulation. I needed to find a new KVM to deal with the HDMI (or Display Port) connections on the new monitors without a bunch of converters. I used to have dual monitor DVI setup for them, until I upgraded my monitors. All three have no issues with this KVM which is awesome. I run 3 computers at home, one windows gaming rig, one linux server, and one Mac OS laptop from work through a USB C dock. Now it doesn't have USB 3 so I can't say its the perfect KVM for me, however other than that I have nothing bad to say about it. I would say overall if you have pletora of devices going with the HDMI version is better as it's easier to find adapters for Apple devices that use hdmi and it's easier to find HDMI on TV and consoles. Overall, for those who seek doing VM without the complexity of software switching them, or adding physical devices this works great. The cables are great and feels they're good in quality, however, I have my devices at different distances and a couple of them feels a bit short in order to do some cable management (for example passing the cables behind my desktop or placing my laptops far from the KVM. It comes with all the cables needed for connecting your devices and this helps you to make this work out of the box very easy. Not exactly an apple looking device but definitely a lot better than a cheap plastic product. The device feels sturdy and doesn't take too much space, its like the size of a tenless keyboard but taller, and can be easily accommodated below a monitor if you have a mount. It works well so I think it's useful to have an extra usb port that directly attach to every other device. The frontal USB port is connected only to the device you are attached so be careful when connecting storage devices as they are disconnected from one device to another when switching. I used a couple of times split displays and works as advertised, no much to say about this, I would say it depends more on how you handle your devices if you can take advantage of this feature or not. The operating systems properly detects they're the advertised devices and so far, the multimedia devices and the additonal mouse buttons work well. Even in passthrough mode, it's easier to switch between devices with key shortcuts. I have a wireless dongle for a Razer Pro Type and a directly connected Razer Pro click, I used these before the KVM as they allow you to switch between devices but the mouse ended with faulty bluetooth and this KVM solved all the inconveniences of changing inputs on every monitor and switching bluetooth mode on each device, It feels amazing and truly improves multitasking being able to easily switch everything with a single button. I also tested with two active DisplayPort to HDMI cables and they work without issues (new computers usually comes with just a single HDMI port) and also tested with USB-C to HDMI cable and worked very well. I have two asus monitors 1440p and so far, on the HDMI cable I succesfully were able to run it at 144Hz. The keyboard and and mouse feels instant as soon as you're able to see the screen. It takes around 3 seconds to switch from one device to another and as advertised due EDID emulation the devices keep their windows in place as the monitors were still connected. In addition, there are countries that use a keyboard specialized for their letters or their language, like in Canada, where the Canadian Multilingual Standard is used, or in Thailand, where Thai letters are put in the buttons.I run 2 devices at home, one is a linux desktop with a Windows VM for gaming (GPU passthrough), a Macbook pro 2019 and a Macboook Air M2, the laptops are connected to a USB dock and it works well with dual display (yes, even for Mabook Air M2 using InstantView). Nowadays, keyboards have evolved and come in different forms, like digital applications for mobile devices or wireless keyboards. Remington and Sons, which decided to made few changes and finalized the modern QWERTY design before mass producing the typewriter. In 1873, Sholes sold his machine to the company E. Sholes' first typewriter had a keyboard with the letters arranged alphabetically, but because of feedback and further study, Sholes improved the layout and came up with the QWE.TY layout. Soule for the Sholes and Glidden Typewriter machine. DID YOU KNOW?ĭid you know, the famous QWERTY layout of the letters in keyboards are more than 100 years old as it was created in the early years of the 1870s? From 1867 to 1873, the newspaper editor and printer Christopher Latham Sholes developed the QWERTY keyboard layout with the help of Carlos Glidden and Samuel W. It can either be in hardware form or software. The KVM switch is a switch that will allow users to control multiple computers using just one set of keyboard, video player (monitor), and mouse.
