Don't Buy if You Care About Using Your Computers
There are several problems with this device:
1. It disconnects the USB. Logitech Hub freaks out every time I switch.
2. Sometimes, the monitor just goes away. "No Signal" or "Cable Unplugged. The only way to fix this is to unplug everything from this device and plug it back in. Turning the monitor on-and-off, or switching inputs doesn't fix it.
3. The monitor will sit there and flash off and on (see video).
4. There are thousands of tiny "dead pixel" artifacts on my screen that do not exist when I plug straight PC-to-monitor (I'd upload a video, but Amazon says "Only One").
5. Occasionally, my mouse will "skitter" and "jitter" when I move it. Never had this problem before. Removing this device and the problem goes away.
6. Suddenly, my audio would get jittery several times a day. Having removed this device for a day, no more problems.
7. It disconnects the HDMI. I understand (now) that I need "active" KVM to prevent this, but the problem is that my monitor configuration resets every time I switch. Windows get moved to different desktops.
And finally, there is not keyboard shortcut to switch (at least not documented anywhere that I can find it).
Bonus note, for me and anyone like me, I think I'd prefer all the cables coming out the same side, instead of in-one-side-out-the-other. It makes things messy and hard to manage.
This thing is unusable.
