Huasion VGA KVM Switch 8 Port in 2 Out Switcher 8x2 Supports Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Audio USB 2.0 Devices Sharing 8 Computers with Remote Control

++ It comes with a full set of cables, which is great. It also has conventional video + USB connections (as opposed to some others that have a proprietary USB-over-VGA cable which are difficult to find, and expensive). All in all a great package of hardware for the price. + The IR remote control works well, and it's useful to have an extension IR reciever if the KVM is out of direct IR range. - The lights on the front are recessed and are only visible from straight on which makes a quick visible check of selected host difficult. --- However, I was noticing frequent, apparently random, device disconnects and reconnects across all host computers, which meant that the mouse would freeze momentarily - a serious hassle when trying to do something significant like scripting or programming. --- Turns out that if ANY of the hosts turns the screen off or goes into standby, this will cause a disconnect/reconnect of the USB connection to ALL of the other hosts. I had not realised this because the first thing I did was to turn off the selection beep. If you have the beep on, this process becomes very irritatingly obvious! -- The only way I have found to stop this happening is to set ALL host devices to never go into sleep/standby or turn the screen off. This means that all of the hosts have to be running all of the time. Fine for servers that need to be running 24/7, but not so great for situations where hosts do not need to be on full power all of the time. For me, this is not acceptable, and I am looking for an alternative device that does not do this.

You get a lot for your money here. Equivelent units from others are twice the price. Poor USB support. Seems to be troublesome. You need to reboot the KVM or the connected PC to get it to work again. I have resulte din using a wireless keyboard and mouse that I hot swap betwen each computer now. Excellent quality kit however. Remote control is a noce touch.

The unit does not support extended monitor mode. It will support the same display. It switch is exceptional and will automatically go to which computer is just turn on. Well priced and worth the money.

電源投入時やPC切り替え時にかなり大きなブザー音が鳴ります。 複数の人間がいる静かな環境で使うPC切り替え器としては失格です。 ブザーを止める方法がネットで調べても判らなかったので、 おそらく保証が効かなくなることを承知の上でケースを開けると、 アクティブ電子ブザーのTMB12A05が切り替え用のスイッチが 複数搭載された基板の裏についていました。これが鳴っていることが 明白だったので除去したら、静かに動くようになりました。 もちろん、機器の改造は自己責任でお願いします。 KVM切り替え器になんでブザー音が必要なのか私には理解できません。

works good, only two small issues. 1. when a machine goes to sleep i lose connection. fix is to prevent pc's from going to sleep. 2. if i tried to remote into machine using remote desktop on another kvm port instead of letting me see both machines at same time.it does an automatic switch to the other kvm port instead.

At first I was convinced this was gonna be a low quality kvm switch.. so I plugged it all up, even used two hdmi to vga cords with matching usb cords, since my tower servers are hdmi/dp only. Get it all plugged in, and switch channels and everything works, I was even amazed it worked with my wireless keyboard/mouse combo, they work flawlessly, but I noticed in dmesg of Debian it does throw warnings but it still works and only throws warnings when you switch, claiming it can’t reclaim the usb. I have to say for 89 bucks it’s worth it.. I can’t speak for long term but right off I was impressed, very impressed..

This KVM was extremely difficult to get all of the ports to work properly. I have 7 computers connected to the KVM and initially, I could only connect to 3 of them. After checking all of the cables and re-cycling the KVM, some of the others would be connected. Eventually, I was able to connect to all seven, but that only lasted for a few days. Today, I could not connect to any of them. This is the worst KVM I have ever owned, I am giving it one star only because it works sometimes. Update: Ports work intermittently. Some days 3 ports will work, the next day maybe 6, and so on. It is so frustrating. This is going in the garbage!
