Notes:

I am writing the review truly on my point of view and perspective. I have no influence from company or any other outsider. None of them have asked or helped me in providing the monetary or in purchasing the product and writing the review.

Scenario:

I have two office laptops and there are times where I need to use both laptops frequently. To fill in the timesheet we need to use one laptop. For working on the client project, we need other. As client laptop has too much of restrictions and would not let us perform any other work.

Problem:

In order to perform all the activities, I have to switch between the laptops again and again. Maintain their charging is also difficult. There might be cases where you need your office meetings as these meeting will not allow your project laptop to attend these meetings to switch.

I was searching for a product which would help in accommodate my need. I did search entire internet about it and found some couple of references on YouTube. "KVM Switch Setup – 2 Laptops to 1 Monitor – Mac & PC + Zoom – Easy Setup! -- https://youtu.be/CYq9aeDNAFA". I started to search the similar product in Indian websites but ended searching the product "KCEVE 4 Ports KVM Switch, 4 In 1 Out HDMI KVM Switcher Box Support 4K@60Hz, With USB 2,0 Hub Connect, Compatible with Windows/Linux/Mac System etc, With Hotkey Switch Way" in Amazon. I brought it for Rs. 5924 on 29 Dec 2021, rate might have been differed since then, when I last saw the same product in amazon it was Rs.4729 i.e., on 16 Jan 2022.

Product Real time Uses: -

•  It can be connected to multiple devices, like here in my case I have used Two laptops and one monitor.
• I have also connected to a wireless mouse and keyboard. The amazing thing is it works for both laptops.
• I can easily toggle within two screens on a click of a button.

Cons:

2. There could have remote provided to navigate. The images shown in the KCEVE website they have shown the remote but in website that I purchased it isn’t.
