Thank you so much for this video. I've watched a few this morning & yours was, by far, the clearest & simplest. I appreciate that you showed us the full setup & then demonstrated how it worked. I just purchased this switch (but in the USB 3 version, which I probably didn't need) and will be using it to share with my work laptop. One question I have, my laptop is a Surface Pro, do you know if there are any additional considerations? I have recently been provided a docking station for the surface & I believe I would just connect that to this switch, correct? Thank you for any additional help you can provide.

Hey Chris! If your surface has a usb connection on that docking station then this should work just fine!

I have a KVM switch in my gigabyte m27q monitor and it works.. but with flaws.

It could be some cables I’m using but still trying to iron out the bugs so I can save desktop space and have one monitor to use both computers and not have to buy a separate KVM switch

this is about usb Peripherals, and not hdmi displays. so its probaly gonna be as easy as plug in the the usb-a from youre motherboard to the switch input, and than your peripherals in the switch output, that should work. and in some cases you need a extra usb-c power cable. (probaly when you use rgb keyboards that uses 2 cables ,1 for keyboard and 1 for rgb)

I've had nothing but trouble getting these kinds of switchboxes working. I've tried two different brands, and the cheaper one (similar to the Ugreen) the mouse/keyboard CONSTANTLY drops out. It doesn't even work as a hub (connected to one computer). I also tried an AIMOS and it also has stuck keys / mouse dropout. I can connect the mouse and/or keyboard directly to the same USB port(s) and they work perfectly fine. Are there any out there that, you know, actually work?

for frequent switching I'd suggest a software solution, like Synergy or Barrier. I use Barrier most of the time, but it won't work with games that need direct access to the mouse hardware if the gaming PC isn't the server and the mouse directly connected to it. But mine is a rare case, because I need the mac keyboard hosted on the mac and the mouse connected on the gaming PC.

I’m curious about your HDMI switcher. I normally play with DP and I’ve been looking for a DP KVM that supports 240 hz. Seems like there’s not something I can find that’s not like paying an arm and a leg. My question for you is do you notice latency when gaming or in your stream by using the HDMI as opposed to the DP version.

@Nilruin 7 ай бұрын

No. Modern HDMI is comparable to DP from a frame rate/latency/frequency perspective. If there is a latency, it's not noticeable, at least not in my experiences having recently swapped from a DP KVM to an HDMI KVM.
