Good, not great
This KVM switch works... just. Often my monitor will go into a weird "syncing" state where it just flashes rapidly, displays the image, then goes black and starts stuttering again. If I toggle inputs back and forth a few times it'll usually resolve itself. Also there are times that my monitor switches just fine but my USB devices don't get seen by the computer until I unplug/replug them from the switch. To use an Anchorman quote, "60% of the time it works every time." I'm using all high quality cables that work fine for these devices without the switch. I may just have a weird mix of peripherals, plus I'm sharing between PC and Mac so that adds another layer of variables. It's still decent for the price, but just temper your expectations.

2 issues to be aware of: inconvenient hotkeys and no emulation for wireless mouse/keyboard
Works as expected and is quick and supports formats advertised. There are 2 reasons why I returned this:1. The keyboard hotkey is Ctrl+Ctrl+#. This means that if you hit Ctrl a couple times, say while using excel, then a number, the KVM switch changes inputs. The hotkeys do not appear editable. This means it was constantly flipping back and forth inputs when I was using excel and makes the hotkeys useless.2. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse. There's no way to turn off emulation unfortunately, so my wireless keyboard/mouse worked terribly with this KVM switch.Those are enough to return it. But if you have a wired keyboard/mouse and you don't mind the hotkey setup, seems like this would otherwise be fine for you.

Fabulous problem solver for mother-in-law.
Perfect solution for decluttering and organizing desk area for my mother-in-law who has been using laptop AND desktop units each with their own keyboard and mouse. She had been complaining about the tiny print on the laptop screen, lack of desk space and the annoyance of having to swap the printer cord. So with this magic switch I have her laptop AND desktop using the same keyboard, mouse, LARGE monitor and printer. Voila! Happy MIL!It was very easy to follow instructions, pull all the old cords and make the new connections. A large tangle of cords across the desk has been eliminated, both laptop and tower are on same stand out of the way and the usable desktop area has quadrupled. The fact that this has also has a remote has eliminated confusion and helped her arthritic hands. Bonus points!One piece of advice - verify exactly which cords you are using. HDMI, USB3.0 vs USB2.0 etc so you get the correct switch. It also wouldn’t hurt to verify the lengths needed so you can buy shorter cords or extenders and have them on hand when you’re ready to install.Since this magic solution is only a week old, I can’t address longevity yet. Will definitely add to this post if problems occur.

Great for 18 months
This switch worked great for about 18 months and then it started randomly dropping/restore my keyboard and mouse connections. Very distracting when gaming.

Easy setup, works.
Plugged everything in and it worked no hassle. The only compliant is it defaults to the 1st input, and turning on the 2nd computer without the 1st computer on takes a few toggles of the computer selection before it senses the 2nd computer is on.

Works well minus a few minor USB issues
The switch does what it promises in allowing you to share a HDMI monitor and USB 3.0 accessories across two computers. I use this to switch between a laptop and a Mac mini. In my 3 or so weeks of use it’s worked without issues for HDMI but have had a few glitches (frozen keyboard/mouse) on USB port after switching from one computer to another. This has so far been resolved by removing a headset from the switch so not sure if it was a switch issue or with the headset. Haven’t tested any USB 3.0 only devices yet so can’t speak to that part. However a webcam works well off of the switch.

Works great & slim design
Great product! Really helps clear off my desk & use 2 computer with 1 keyboard/mouse. Also have camera attached. The only downside is you have to position switch higher than your workspace (I wanted it even) & nothing can be next to keyboard or mouse for them to work smoothly. So you can’t really hide the switch. (Not their fault) but has to be up front & visible.

HDMI Cable ports have a bad connection.
HDMI connections came back with a error “HDMI out of range “ . After testing several cables it looks like the KVM hdmi ports were the problem. All cables worked directly to monitor bypassing the KVM. Cleaned the HDMI ports, install HDMI minus the USB cable. Power on the monitor, powered on KVM to let the hdmi make a good connection then install the USB cable for keyboard and mouse. Works okay now.

Works Well.

Didn't work properly.
I tried 2 different sets of HDMI cables. While the mouse and keyboard would switch, the video would not display at all. I tried to send it back but Intercom did not come to my apartment even though I stayed home on 2 separate days waiting for them. It is now too late to return it.

Good HDMI KVM switch with some minor flaws. See bottom of review for important note.
The media could not be loaded. Ezcoo (ROFAVEZCO) KVM Switch HDMI2.0 2×1 (2 in 1 out), with USB 3.0, IR Remote, HDCP2.2, 4K@60Hz (4:4:4 HDR), Atmos, Stereo Audio Mic, Keyboard Mouse input, Windows, MacOS, with 1.5m USB3.0 Cable x2 (SW21KVM)This is the second Ezcoo video product that I have, I was impressed by the first one so I thought I'd give this 2-1 KVM switch a try.This switch is well built, with a metal case. It comes with a power adapter that securely screws on to the box, IR remote control, mounting tabs (with screws), two pieces of Velcro, and two USB3 (type-A) to USB3 (type-A) cables (1.5m) and a manual.The KVM switch has 2×HDMI2.0 inputs, 1×USB2.0 input, 2×USB3.0 inputs, microphone input, 1×HDMI2.0 output, 2×USB3.0 outputs (with cables), audio out (headphone jack), front IR window, input switch, and a USB (micro) jack for firmware updates (or control).I have had no problems passing any HDMI video / audio standard through this KVM switch, including DolbyVision 4K@24Hz & 1080P@60Hz, HDR 4K@30&24Hz, HDR 4K@60Hz, HDR 1080P@60Hz, Atmos, Dolby-MA7.1, DTS-HD7.1, PCM 7.1, & PCM 2.0.I did have a weird glitch with my PS4 while switching from PCM 2.0 TO PCM 7.1 (stayed at 2.0), it was ok after I power cycled the switch.Switching inputs between two PCs isn't super fast, but it's still reasonable (see video). I had no issues with switching between Windows PCs (or my Android phone), but my Mac would glitch every time I switched back to it (see video).It seems that this switch will emulate the monitor for the inactive PC (input), which means that you don't loose your screen layout when you switch away from the PC. But as I mentioned, my MacBook looses the monitor for a brief moment when switching back (as if it was unplugged and plugged in quickly).The USB devices will disconnect from the inactive PC, but this probably can't be avoided. (Just remember to eject any hard drives you have connected to the KVM box before you switch)I had no problem using a wireless keyboard / mouse combo. The mic in and headphone out were seen on both Windows and Mac.The front of the unit has a few fairly bright red LEDs and you can see another blue LED behind the button (if you look really carefully there is also another green LED hidden inside). I had no problem with the bright red LEDs, but they might bother some.The remote control came with a battery and I had no issues with it either.The KVM switch stays nice and cool in its metal case.Hopefully they can resolve the Mac issues with a firmware update.Note: This KVM switch doesn't like having devices hot-plugged! Either plug everything in with no power or power cycle the switch after you've connected all HDMI and USB out cables. (If you don't it may not work with one or both of the input devices)Overall I think that this is a great little KVM switch and it would deserve 5 stars if not for the little glitches. 4 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Excellent Quality
I've been very impressed with other products I have reviewed from this company, so it was no surprise to me that this KVM switch performs well, is very high-quality, and works well across all platforms I have tried it on.I have a Raspberry Pi and a headless PC on my rack at home, and I occasionally need to control them directly instead of remotely. Using this switch I can very easily use one monitor, mouse, and keyboard to control both without swapping around USB dongles or HDMI cables. It's very convenient for smaller or space-constrained setups to keep the clutter down.Compared to some other KVM switches I have tried, this one is significantly more expensive. However, the price is acceptable for the quality of the switch. The housing is all metal, and it has its own independent power supply. It also has an IR port and remote, so the inputs can be changed very easily without having direct access to the switch itself. Again, this is an excellent feature for keeping the clutter down and keeping certain things out of sight (as long as you have line-of-sight to the remote).I have even had success getting my Harmony Hub to switch the inputs so it works well for a home theatre setup that might have two computers attached. For example, I use a Raspberry Pi for classic video game emulation and a PC for gaming, both connected to the same TV. Previously I would have to manually switch a KVM switch or USB dongles around, but with this switch I can use my Harmony Remote and it's all done without me having to get up off the couch.It also comes with mounting brackets and screws so you can mount it out of the way.In addition to the keyboard and mouse USB inputs, there is an additional USB 3.0 port that you can attach an additional accessory to. This is great for things like game controllers that you can use across platforms or for different PCs.I'm very impressed with this switch, and despite the fact that it's quite expensive, I think it's a good value for the price and will add a lot fo convenience to a complex computing or home theatre setup.
