KVM Switch HDMI 2 Port Box, KCEVE USB KVM Switches for 2 Computers Share Keyboard Mouse and one HD Monitor, Support Hotkey Switching, UHD 4K（3840x2160）

I have two computers and one monitor. I long realized that I needed a KVM switch but just never got around to buying one. Instead I used two mice, two keyboards and switched video with the controls on the monitor . It was a clumsy setup. This past December I purchased an IOGEAR HDMI KVM switch for 70 bucks. Much to my surprise and disappointment, it doesn’t support a wireless gaming mouse so it went back to Amazon. Subsequently I learned that KVM switches do not as a rule support gaming mice. Fast forward to a four months later. I decided that something had to be done and decided to buy just a USB switch for just the keyboard. In searching Amazon for the switch I accidentally stumbled onto this device and realized that is was not much more costly than just a switch so decided to take a flier on it. I hooked it up without the gaming mouse and it performed perfectly. Soon after, just on a lark, I decided to install the unifying controller and damned if the gaming mouse didn’t work perfectly with both computers. So I wound up with a two port HDMI KVM switch that out performed the IOGEAR for almost 1/3 the cost and half the size. Amazing.In the interest of full disclosure there is one flaw with this device which I consider minor considering all of it’s good attributes. When switching screens it tends to relocate open pogroms on the number two computer only. I found that it doesn’t effect minimized programs so I programmed a key on the mouse to minimize everything on the screen and I activate it just before switching then after switching back that same mouse key will return everything just the way it was. Just incase you’re interested, the command is windows+D. In other words hold down the windows key and press the letter D. It is not case sensitive.

It is nice when you buy a product that works perfectly well and you use it a lot and it does not just sit on a shelf.This product was surprisingly inexpensive and it is something I use a lot every single day. It is sleek, does not take up much room and works well, the buttons seem like they will last. You can use it to switch mouse and keyboard and you do not have to use the HDMI capabilities if you do not need them but they are there if necessary. It is a space saver and if you do not need the mouse and keyboards at exactly the same time this is a very useful and perfect solution. I have a gaming and streaming pc setup and if you have dual pc's also you will use this a lot more than you might think. It is instantaneous when you push the buttons and I have no criticisms at all concerning this product and its function.

Arrived next day as promised. Sturdy box, all parts included and undamaged. Instructions are minimal (I’m being kind here). Set up Is extremely easy. HDMI cable from each PC to the box (not provided) and a USB cable to each PC (provided). Third HDMI cable from box to shared monitor (you should have that cable). I have a combo wireless keyboard & mouse that I plugged into the keyboard port. If you have a separate mouse there is a separate port. Also works with wired. It’s buss powered so nothing to plug in. Be sure to shut down the two PC’s as windows needs to see it on startup to work right. My shared monitor is 4K and I don’t notice any degradation of signal from the desktop but a small drop from my laptop which is 1920. The PC switch over takes 10 seconds but is very stable. Haven’t used the hot keys for switching yet as the front buttons are more convenient. Only had two mouse or keyboard lockups since installing. Seems to occur when switching back and forth quickly. Does not have audio transfer. No hum and no heat from the box.

Was excited to get this.....for a while. Less than a year later it works with main computer, even switching to the secondary computer. But when trying to switch back to the main one........crickets. Yes, I have unplugged and replugged in every cable and all cables work fine with other peripherals. If you're going to buy this one, just plan on buying one or two per year. Can't even find a way to reach out to the manufacturer via "Amazon email" like it suggest.

Affordable - that's why this rec'd a 1-star. Comes with some very thin USB cables. Didn't like the fact that it didn't have a remote switcher, think I thought about this after I ordered it, but in real world use it would have been much nicer to hit a switch on my desk than to have to lean over and hit the small button on the KVM switch. The cables coming out of the front of the unit prevent it from sitting on a desk and easy cable management - also the included cables are only about 3FT so if they were on your desk they likely wouldn't be long enough to reach a PC. Occasionally the unit would seem to not catch up with typing - this was just every once in a while - definitely tolerable. Unit passed HDMI+audio so that was nice for my other PC that was not connected to my speakers - it would use the audio on my monitor. So I got past all that and had this working for several months - then one morning - after I had switched back and forth a few times like any other morning, I sat back down, hit the button to switch to my 2nd PC and nothing. Lights were on but nobody was home... Unit completely quit working. Pretty disappointing. Ordered another brand that had a remote button for switching. There are alternatives - look before purchasing and read reviews carefully... (p.s. - for anyone wondering if this works with a Das Keyboard - I use one and did not have problems - I plugged my wireless mouse USB dongle into the keyboard and plugged both of the USB cables on the keyboard into the KVM output (mouse/keyboard) - maybe the mighty Das Keyboard took it down ha ha....)
