TESmart 2-port HDMI KVM switchArriving in a nice compact box, the TESmart KVM switch is a good-looking compact unit with a nice array of ports on the back and a nicely laid-out front with informative pretty blue led’s indicating ‘Online’ and ‘Selected’ status, a port ‘Select’ button and a stereo audio output.Included are the wall-wart power pack, infra-red remote and a pair of perfectly acceptable composite HDMI/USB cables (the latter USB-A at one end and USB-B at the other).The unit was tested with Dell and HP 2K displays and a Dell U2515H 2560x1440 display, switching between a MacBook Pro (2018 model) and a Dell Latitude 5290 (the latter both with and without a Dell USB-C dock), an Apple wired keyboard and a Logitech G700s wireless mouse with dongle.In use the unit performed quite well with a couple of provisos. The MacBook Pro is USB-C only and has no HDMI output so was tested with an economy USB-C to HDMI/USB/CF/SD adapter, a Lenovo composite USB-C adapter with ethernet support and finally Apple’s own USB-C to HDMI/USB adapter. With the other adapters occasionally producing a screen full of snow on switching the best results by far were with Apple’s own adapter. Being a fan of Apple products I also use an Apple keyboard and discovered that the ‘official’ keyboard port does not recognise Apple keyboards but when plugged in to the auxiliary USB port the keyboard works and switches perfectly. The penalty is that the ability to switch ports via the keyboard is lost. This is where the remote control comes in to it’s own as using it you don’t have to reach across the desk to push the ‘Select’ button. The lack of an included battery isn’t a big issue (it’s a common low-cost type) but could be mildly annoying when setting up if you need the remote and don’t have one to hand. Fortunately, I did have one!The mouse performed flawlessly with the dongle plugged into the mouse port on the switch with no apparent lag even at the higher resolution and reporting settings of which the G700s is capable.I should comment on the very loud beep the unit makes when switched on and switching ports as it has been noted in a few reviews and was a concern to me when considering the TESmart as I intended to use it in an open office. This is not, repeat NOT an issue. A couple of keystrokes involving a function key and the beep is disabled. If you have an Apple keyboard you will need to borrow an ordinary PC keyboard temporarily. Once off, the beep-on-switch will remain off apart from a brief beep when the unit is switched on. RTFM, folks!Remaining untested are the audio outputs and the ‘fast switching’ which flips the ports when the mouse points gets to the edge of the screen. I had no need of the former and found the latter to be a mixed blessing however for my purposes neither detract from the usability of this kVM.In summary, I am pleased to have purchased this KVM and it has been an absolute boon in my daily use as a Data Migration specialist where a couple of laptops and several screens are a must. My desk is far tidier as a result.ProsGood robust unit, sits well on desk.Cables fit for purpose.Remote control more useful than it looks.Good stable image quality.Switch speed good.Does what it is supposed to.ConsShort PSU cable (only about 1 metre).Loud beep on switching (BUT see text).Limited Apple Keyboard support.No battery included for the remote.The usual disclaimer: I have no affiliation with the seller and have received no remuneration for this review. I am a satisfied customer who is pleased with the product and very pleased with the responsiveness and help from the seller’s support team when I have had need of it.

Have had this now since the end of May 2020 and it has been brilliant. I play all my games from one machine in 4k at 60Hz through it no problem at all and switch to my laptop to work in 4k also. Have had absolutely no problems with it. The only small issue I had was that the keyboard and mouse usb on the device doesn't work well with wireless keyboard and mice but if you plug a usb hub into the usb port on it, everything works fine without issue.

Nice easy to use HDMI KVM with added bonus of supplied cables and extra switched USB port.Nor sure on the value of the IR remote switching but it doesn't detract from the core functionality.

Bought this to make use of my main KVM from my work laptop. Worked 1st time after hookup. No more squinting at a tiny laptop screen or getting RSI from the mousepad.Well recommended.Works that well that i am returning it as I now need more than 2 ports...

I bought a cheaper kvm initially that when switching actually disconnected the video and usb ports so when you returned to it all your open windows had moved, this doesn't do that, everything is exactly where you left it. So far has worked flawlessly.

I spent some time shopping around for a KVM box that would give 4K, flicker-free performance and I am pleased to say this does the job. A nice, low profile too.

All setup & appears to work well (3 days now). I was wary my Logitech wireless trackball M570 would be an issue, but no problem at all. Keyboard is old USB, monitor 4k. Only issue was no battery supplied in the remote control and I didn't spot any description of what one to use. Helpful reviewers answered that question. The Remote option hardly seems important anyway. So, all fine & pretty instant response on changing PC's.
