Pros & Cons
Pros
According to many reviews, it's easily repairable. Ultimately it's an expensive luxury but certainly glad i have it now.
Iogear specializes in switches, hubs and the like, so they know what they are doing. Small annoyance but not a deal breaker by any means.
Cons
This product is defective by design. It has zero redeeming value. Do not buy.
The quality of the button connection seems very fragile. It often gets stuck on the wrong output and the switching button won't work. This is all caused by a fatal design flaw.
It's almost like it's caching the input and then pushing them to the screen after a few seconds. The phantom d-pad presses, stuck *.

Costeffective 45considering the convenience it offers in simplifying usb device sharing the iogear switching hub is reasonably priced
Makes switching between laptops with less physical movement well worth the cost and wait for this device
For 60 it should come with a usb c to 120vac or at least a cheap usb a to usb c
Thats lazy and cheap and this goes for more when not on sale

The remote is kinda cheap feeling but i will give them the benefit of the doubt that it will hold up for the few dozen times a day ill be switching back and forth on my homework computers

A slightly better indicator led design would be preferable but isnt a dealbreaker
