GREATHTEK Dual Monitor HDMI KVM Switch 2 Port, 2 USB 2.0 Hub, UHD 4K@30Hz YUV4:4:4 Downward Compatible, USB Powered, Hotkey Switch, with Cables

I’ve decided to write a review to share my experience with this dual screen KVM switch. I ordered it on Saturday and received it on Monday.I have done a lot of reading and research before buying this one. My requirements: I currently have dual 26in monitors 1080P  1920*1200 (Samsung T260HD and T260, will eventually upgrade to 4K. Looking at Viewsonic VX2776-4K) and din’t want to spent a lot of money on a KVM switch.    Just finished building another PC for my daily use to separate from my Plex server (Old 939 MB with Radeon 5850 video card). I’ve added 2 DVI to HDMI adapters just before receiving the switch. The other PC is an AMD 3400G with an Asus TUF Gaming Pro MB. No video card. The MB has 1 display port and 1 HDMI. Used a DP to HDMI adapter to have the 4 required HDMI output. Was a bit worried that those would cause an issues with the switch.Well, no issue to report. J The switch worked perfectly and without any issues. It’s a lot smaller than what I expected. The 4 included HDMI cables are 59in long and quite thick, but they can do the job (I did not use them).The switch button pressure is perfect, you can press it without have to hold down the unit. The 4 rubber feet hold it in place. I haven’t tried the 2 USB ports on it yet. I’ll update my review once I upgrade my monitors.

Rock solid and just what I wanted. I'm two weeks into it and thoroughly pleased. Everything just works. Two screens for each of my two computers, both in extended mode. The switch time is 2 - 5 seconds, depending (I think) on whether the other computer needs to wake or not. My newer computer, a Lenovo, has two DisplayPort outputs that use a simple cable to convert to HDMI. The older computer, a Dell, has one HDMI out and one VGA. Converting the latter to HDMI requires a USB-powered converter. Other than that, the connections were straightforward. You will need a USB charger, one of the ones that plug into a wall and provide one or more outlets. Connect that first to power the switch, then the two HDMI and one USB cable from each computer, then two HDMI cables, one for each screen (I have two matching ViewSonics), lastly the shared USB keyboard and mouse. I'm using a wireless Logitech combo with the wireless dongle plugged into the top of the two USB receptacles. It all works beautifully, and my only complaint is that I have 9 cables on my desk. I want to move the switch under my desktop but have to place it so I can conveniently hit the switch button. The keyboard shortcut doesn't seem to work reliably, but I'm not too lazy to punch a button. I just need all those wires off my desktop. The switch doesn't address sound, and this was important to me because the second computer is basically a music studio. A simple but quality speaker switch lets me move the sound around. That one's already under my desktop. Operating with two computers brings up other issues. I was delighted to realize that the computer I was switching away didn't lose its place, so that when I switched back it was still ready with all programs and files open as I left them. Transferring files between computers was awkward until I discovered that a USB thumb drive plugged into the switch was available to both computers. Color me very pleased. Instructions for setup could be improved, but if you just plug it all in, it works fine.

It was advertised as Greathtek brand, but I received PWAY brand without explanation, and have not received any reply from the seller despite the statement on their page, 'We are always ready to reply your questions. If you have any questions about the product, please contact us in time, please believe that we will definitely give you a perfect solution'. Wireless keyboard and mouse (using Bluetooth receiver) do not work with the device, so had to buy a wired keyboard and mouse which are now surprisingly, relatively hard to find. Peripheral input ports are only USB-A 2.0, so 3.0 devices won't work. Laptops generally only have one HDMI port, so needed to give up each laptop's USB-C port to use USB-C to HDMI cables to support second monitor, and this monitor drops out and needs to be unplugged and plugged back in after laptops sleep. Overall, not happy with the quality for the A$169.99 I spent on this device.

Like other reviews mentioned, my USB ports have begun failing after a few weeks of usage.i was in the middle of typing into the terminal when my keyboard and mouse stopped working. mu usb headset was still working fine however. switching between computers didnt bring keyboard/mouse back, nor did unplugging and replugging (although i did hear the unplug/replug usb sound).swapping headset and keyboard kills the headset and revives the keyboard. conclusion: left usb ports died abruptly while I was typing.will set this thing on fire in case it logged my keystrokes then disabled itself so it could find its way home on the ewaste boat with my passwords

Very easy to set up (once I had all of the appropriate video cables). Only weirdness is that the mouse doesn't work on one of the machines unless it plugged into the faster USB port.
