Thanks DB Tech. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 😊❄🎅🏻🎄👍🏻

I like that it is small and compact. I think that everything is going the way of USB-C and eventually they will get smaller and smaller. My problem is that I need a KVM that supports 3x DP monitors and they aren't cheap. Looks like a great product and I am sure it will help you with your setup.

@balloonpark 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video! I would enjoy more kvm reviews as I have been searching for the perfect one for a while with no luck. I must have bought 6-8 cheap ones so far. Unfortunately this one seems to lack EDID emulation per the Amazon reviews. This feature helps to prevent the monitors disconnecting and reconnecting when you switch PCs. If you don't have this your open windows will be moving around to different monitors. This is needed for my setup, PC1 has 2 monitors and I want to switch to PC2 on only one monitor while leaving my open windows in place on PC1's second monitor. Hopefully that wasn't too confusing. Maybe anker can add this feature in future products.

I wouldnt mind it if you could do a long term review on this, ive used a number of kvms and they initially work and then you have these odd problems especially with usb devices - i would switch to abother comouter and boom the camera doesnt get switched over ... And often to get it to work again i need to pull the usb out and replug it. I've found this to be the case with all(5 that ive gone through) of the kvms.

@darcy764 5 месяцев назад

I ended up returning mine. My dual monitors only supported HDMI so I tried using a DisplayPort to HDMI cable for one of the monitors and it didn’t work. If someone is able to get this working please let me know because I was really hoping this would work.

@fonte935 5 месяцев назад

@Miguel_Pratz Месяц назад

Do you have your audio interface/mic going into the KVM? I am trying the AV Access KVM, however, it isn't recognizing my USB Audio-Interface or Webcam :(

@DBTechYT Месяц назад

I've had my Insta360 webcam and FocusRite Scarlet Duo audio interface plugged into the KVM and had no issues. You might reach out and see if you can get some direct tech support from Anker.

@czemacleod 5 месяцев назад

For specific scenarios this seems like a reasonable fit. I don't understand mixing the video connectors though. If you have 2 monitors they are normally the same so you would want 2x dp or 2x hdmi, and normally the same for your desktop PC output as your gpu likely has 2x the same connector. This just seems to mean you are likely to need to buy new cables. It would also make sense to have a switched USB port on the back so you don't have your webcam cable hanging out the front like that. I also feel the price is a little high for what it can do. I know it was sponsored, but I think those points would have made it a less biased review, especially as you didn't mention price or value for money at all.

@damientech88 3 месяца назад

Can these support 2560x1440@120 or 144Hz on the HDMI port? The "AV Access" docks specify HDMI 4K60 or 1440@144.

I encourage you to go use the links in the video description to get more details on the product. That's why I put them there :)

i love that line "a chance to charge your laptop".... like plug it in and roll a d20 and if u get a nat 1 it charges lol \

@jennerate1206 5 месяцев назад

I do think that the single USB-C input for PC 1 is limiting though. Some laptops are not able to handle more than one 4K outputs through a single USB-C port (bandwidth limited). For example my 2021 Dell XPS 15 laptop cannot do this. I currently have to use two different USB-C ports to use two monitors, meaning that the switch button on this KVM Switch would only be able to switch one of my monitors to the correct source. It does look like a nice little device. But for £250 RRP the limitation of that one USB-C port for PC 1 would make a it a no-go for a lot of people I think.

@DBTechYT 5 месяцев назад

I totally get where you are coming from. Not every device will be a great fit for everyone. Thanks for watching and letting me know what you think about it :)

@jennerate1206 5 месяцев назад

Also, there is no mention of HDR passthrough either on their product page, which could also being limiting if your workflow requires it.

@spelljammer 2 месяца назад

My PC's motherboard supports display port over USB C. Is there any reason I should go for the 553 version as opposed to the dual USB C 554?

@DBTechYT 2 месяца назад

I guess it ultimately depends on what your needs are and which one better serves those needs.

@spelljammer 2 месяца назад

@@DBTechYT Right. I'm just curious if there is any functional difference. Trying to decide between the two models. Like would I get faster USB throughput for my devices on the PC1 connection if I got the 553 model, given the dedicated DP/HDMI inputs on that side? I do notice that the USB-C input on the PC1 connection (553 model) is 5Gbps, so maybe it would not make a difference. Just curious if you know.

Is it possible to use the laptop keyboard to control both the laptop and the PC? I really like my laptop keyboard besides it create more space for my desk

@damientech88 3 месяца назад

Almost exactly what I need...except I need 2xDisplayPort 1.4 instead of 1xDP & 1xHDMI.

I don't think it will power my laptop. It's about 140 watts short.

@Trains-With-Shane 5 месяцев назад

Long gone are the days when I could get away with just a 2-port KVM, lol. Now that being said I have used Anker USB charging cables for my mobile devices for a LONG time.

@DBTechYT 5 месяцев назад

I've got a 4 port KVM hooked up to my TinyPilot, but wouldn't mind getting another 4 port for daily use in my studio

@Trains-With-Shane 5 месяцев назад

@@DBTechYT I use an old 8 port Minicom 1U in my rack. It has little adapters that let you make the cable runs out of Cat5 FTP or STP cable and then plug the other end into the switch directly. I'd like to switch to something that did the same using TCP/IP but those solutions are way above my home hab cost center. lol.

@MrPir84free 5 месяцев назад

Been using 4 port dual display KVM's for the past 4 or 5 years. Could not go back even if I wanted to. Dual 32 inch monitors. What I won't do is 3 monitors. Almost feels like whiplash when using 3 monitors.

@esaedvik 4 месяца назад

No going back after using a software KVM

@FTLN 5 месяцев назад

Nice review but 4k 60 is not worth it, most people have moved to 4k 120, it's using an old kvm chipset also.

@DBTechYT 5 месяцев назад

Thanks. I think "most people have moved to 4k 120" is a bit of an over-statement. I agree with the 4k, but I don't think "most people" are going for 120. Gamers, game devs, sure, but, again, I don't know about "most people" going for 4k 120.

@yourpcmd 5 месяцев назад

While that has a niche, if you just want a KVM, look at the Greathtek 2 or 4 Port KVM Switch. I have the 4 port version and its a fantastic unit.

@DBTechYT 5 месяцев назад

I actually have something similar to that hooked up to my TinyPilot setup
