Easy setup, well worth the money.
I was expecting the setup to be a nightmare, because of the low price, but it was very simple.Works very well, the remote is a really nice touch, the hot key control is also simple to use.

Does the job, but with minor glitches.
This is the third KVM I've purchased recently, and this one does a good job, but with a minor limitation.Let's start with the good: this KVM works fairly well. I'm running 7 devices into it, including three video game consoles, two computers, an OSSC, and a TV tuner. All of the devices work as expected, and I can use the keyboard, mouse, and game controller (where compatible) on all the attached devices. This is excellent for turning the second monitor on your computer desk into a mini home theater system.Another nice thing is that the keyboard, mouse, and 2 additional USB ports all connect to the PC with a single USB cable. This makes hooking things up very convenient.So what's the downside?There are two minor issues: first, the KVM has its own internal EDID, and computers will detect this as a 720P video device, even with a higher resolution monitor plugged in. So my computers and game consoles default to 720P, and I have to manually set them to 1080 or 4K. This isn't a huge problem, since most of my hardware has manual settings for these things, but for a device that doesn't have manual resolution controls (like my camcorder), there's no way to change the EDID to show a higher native resolution.The other minor glitch is that sometimes, the keyboard or mouse doesn't work. I've had the keyboard drop out in the middle of a session, and I've had the keyboard and/or mouse just "not work" when turning on a computer or game console. Unplugging and re-plugging the USB cable seems to fix, this, as does swapping inputs. But it's annoying when it happens - which is just often enough to be a thing.Having said all that - this KVM is fairly inexpensive, and it's hard to beat this for the price. If you need a KVM for 1080P devices, this is a good choice. If you're looking for a 4K KVM, it's probably best to move up to one of the more expensive units, since this is limited to 30Hz and so isn't good for video games or computers at 4K.

Weird issue with inputs changing...
This was the second HDMI KVM I've tried. I have 4 PC's (for various purposes), an nVidia Shield and a Raspberry Pi 4 connected to the main TV in my living room and was tired of having to manually change things just to use a different device...The first KVM I tried (different brand) was junk and kept having freezing and stuttering problems so I returned it and tried this one. At first, I thought it was working great. I was able to switch inputs without problems, the mouse and keyboard were working good and everything seemed good - until I tried turning the volume down and the KVM suddenly changed inputs on me..I have a 70" Vizio TV connected to a Nakamichi Soundbar and use a Logitech Harmony remote to control everything. And I discovered that anything to do with adjusting the volume (up, down, mute, etc.) all cause the KVM to randomly change inputs. I tried it on all 3 remotes (original Vizio, original Nakamichi and Harmony) and they all do the same thing...I double checked and then triple checked that this wasn't a user error, and even when I brought the KVM into my office and hooked it up to my Dell monitor and computer, the remotes from the TV & Soundbar continued to cause it to randomly change inputs when I pressed buttons...Very odd that the manufacturer would program the IR sensor in this range! And very disappointing because I obviously can't use it like this so I had to return it...I ended up buying a Tesmart KVM that was delivered yesterday and guess what? No issues with random input changes! So my recommendation is to save your money and go with a different brand if you have a need to connect this to anything that needs volume control.I even reached out to their support and did not receive a response...So, while it's a good KVM in theory, I cannot recommend it!

Siletly doing its job
Using with cluster of 8 machines for two months. Compact, simple, all ports functional (so far so good, remember - only two months). I wish all devices be like that - simply do what they suppose to do without extra installation efforts. Thank you.

Works great, as expected. Easy set up. No issues.
Works great, as expected. Easy set up. No issues. Accidentally found out that our LG TV remote control works on port 6.

Lasted less than 1 year untouched
I like it, and there are not that many 8 port KVMs to choose from. From the start it takes a few seconds to switch, not too annoying but it could be faster. It has some issues with Raspberry Pi, but again, not a huge issue for me. Does not include Edid Emulation, so without a Hdmi Edid Emulator Passthrough device your computer will lose the monitor every time you switch to another port. Anpying, but fixable with extra HW.Before one year of use it stopped working. Turn it on or off, nothing, no LED action whatsoever. No current drain from 5V source either (dead).I finally decided to fix it because I needed it and didn't want to spend money in a new one. And as you can see in the pictures the On OFF switch was arching inside when on to a point that the heat deformed the switch and it stopped working. I replaced with a toggle switch and it works again.Hope this helps.

Works great with PiKVM
8 port HDMI KVM switch + usb cables for less than $100. Compare this to an ezcoo 4port KVM switch for $140 with no usb cables makes it a no brainer purchase.
