Very Impressed and Relieved. The Wire Routing is Excellent...and yes, that's important.
Not being a techy and not much for reviewing.. I can tell you what happens when you don't know what you are doing when purchasing one of these. I bought a cheaper variation on this and it died within two weeks of ownership giving me problems with Roku and very slow switching between inputs. With this one, switching between Verizon Fios and Roku is automatic and I don't need to flip the remote. Coming back from Nintendo Switch to Roku is spotty but with the remote, it is quick and easy.What is clearly a superior feature of this unit- which no one every speaks about in these reviews.. is that ALL of the connections are in the rear which makes the setup clean. Once you buy one of these with HDMI inputs coming from all different directions, it becomes an eyesore and cumbersome to find a decent place to put it. This is particularly important because you need direct line-of-sight for the remote control. I would never buy one of these with the connections on the side ever again. Its unnecessary and looks horrible. This one works well, hardly visible in my install and I highly recommend it.

Very nice
Power button is only on remote, would have likes one on unit. Remote is unnecessary.

Use the supplied cable, then it works great!
I really like this product. It's the only one I could find with auto switching, and one of very few that lay out all of the video features it supports right in the description (everything you will need for PS5 or Xbox series x at 4k 120 with all options enabled). That alone more than sold me, even without the auto switching. The most important things for me were HDR, 4k 120, and the latest HDCP protocol. The later is not advertised on almost any of the other switches available, even if it does support it.My only complaints about this otherwise amazing and super well priced piece of technology are thus:I had issues with it not auto switching between my devices when I first set it up. It would do it sometimes, and others it wouldn't. What I found was that plugging in the supplied USB cable (which the listing says may not be needed) fixed this issue entirely.My other complaint is about the two random blackouts I had. They are not common, I've used this thing for many hours, and I've only had two, which were quite momentary, but still, a little concerning.

Used for old consoles/PC
I've enjoyed using this. I bought this originally to replace and old 3 hub adapter I bought back in 2012 (surprised it lasted that long for $15 dollars back then.) This works wonders. As others said the remote can interfere sometimes or be affected by other remotes yes, due to alot of devices running on the same frequency. Luckily for me I have it close enough it range I use the switch more on the device itself rather than the remote. A future Bluetooth option for a way to connect to your phone. It does exactly what it says it does, I have a 4K TV already but it runs all the devices I have at the highest resolution with no stutter, no issues, I have connected at most up to 3 devices to this with no issue with an output being connected to my TV. Build quality feels pretty nice for it having a somewhat metal feel to it, button to switch hdmi sources/input is nice and clicky we love those. Overall for the price and feel it's great!

It mostly works, but it's buggy, remote doesn't work and it is not as automatic as I would hope.
[Update] I updated my score to a solitary star because after using this for a few hours using a PS5, this switch drops out very regularly, requiring a new HDMI handshake which causes the screen to go blank without audio for about 2-5 seconds before re-connecting. You can imagine how frustrating this is while playing an action game, or watching a movie. I will be returning this Switch.I am connecting a Sony PlayStation 5, Microsoft Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch OLED, and a Steam Deck (with the official Steam Dock) using inputs 1-4 out of the 5 inputs on this switch, to the 8K HDMI input on a Denon AVR-X8500HA, which is then connected to an LG CX OLED. Using Monoprice 8K HDMI cables with every connection.Firstly, simply plugging in each of those devices, and then MANUALLY switching between each of them (using the physical button on the switch) seems to work fine. With the limited testing I've done so far, I believe I am getting the full bandwidth for each devices. For example, when testing within the settings on the Xbox, it states that I am getting 4K 120 Hz with Dolby Vision along with Dolby Atmos.I have not done any lag testing. I'd expect that there should be none introduced, but I cannot say yet for sure.I do like the form factor, it doesn't feel cheap, and I like that it uses USB-C for charging. Also, 5 inputs is nice. Currently the best I can find that supports 4K120 consoles.My complaint is with the automatic switching and the remote.The remote simply doesn't work. Maybe I have a bad one? I can't tell. The power button works, but none of the input buttons work. I've tried both in Automatic mode or Manual mode (press the physical button on the switch ~3 seconds to toggle between modes). Since the remote doesn't work, I'm not currently able to program scenes with a Logitech Harmony remote to automatically go from device to device.The automatic mode is mostly not as convenient as you I'd hope. I know there can be problems when a device sends a constant (or intermittent) signal (I think it's a 5V signal that is detected). I know on a prior switch and with prior consoles this made automatic switching problematic (I believe the original PSVR on the PS4 and the Xbox X were bad with this). But I don't think this is the problem I'm currently having with this collection of consoles. More testing needs to be done. But at this time, I seem to get automatic switching with the Xbox Series X and PS5, but no switching at all with the Switch or Steamdeck. Sometimes, the order of where you plug in devices can also affect the reliability. I'll have to test more, but I can say that it is not working right out of the box.I need to use this a lot more to know if it is reliable. I've had switches that will intermittently lose a signal and have to re-do the HDMI handshaking, thus interrupting a movie or game for ~5 seconds. I cannot say how reliable this one is yet.I think I'll keep using this. I'll at least test it out more and see if it's reliable. But it's a bummer that I can't automate switching easier.

Works Great!
My amplifier did not have an audio return channel which was needed for Bluetooth headphones for a hard of hearing family member.

Flickering and Darker Image
The switch and remote work fine, except on some devices such as the playstation 5, where this device didnt show and image and just flickered white at the bottom of the screen. On other devices, the images were darker than before. Terrible quality product.

Compacto y Elegante
Tengo un mes usándolo y funciona de maravilla, lo que mas me gusta es que todos los puertos están en la parte trasera, lo que ayuda a que no se vea un revoltijo de cables por todos lados, se ve mas ordenado de esta forma, no como otros que tienen cables saliendo por los 4 lados del dispositivo y son bastante problema para acomodarlos, y el tamaño es compacto, bastante delgado y se ve muy bien.Definitivamente recomendable.

Remote not needed
My last TV had a separate inputs box, with a single wire up to the TV. It made it so much neater. My new TV didn't have enough inputs and this solves the problem neatly. I've never had to use the remote, but we do switch off devices not in use.

Top, Einfach, funktioniert gut
Ich habe hier mehrere Computer und eine Konsole an diesem Bildschirm angeschlossen. Funktioniert super. Eigentlich werden die Geräte beim Anschalten erkannt und es wird automatisch umgeschaltet. Jedoch wenn das Timing blöd läuft - dann nimmt man halt die Fernbedienung und wählt den Eingang manuell aus. Bin sehr zufrieden.

Reasonable price
First up, this works just fine. Two hdmi sources into one, with expected htz and all listed audio and video codecs working fine.Build quality is not exactly high end, body is slightly misaligned with ports and some rough edges.Not going to complain though, it works.
