I needed a KVM switch to drive x3 monitors from both a work laptop and a Mac Studio. The product info says that the D23 only works with desktops and DP connections, so I was a little reticent to purchase, but took the chance. On arrival it didn't work - only two monitors and many peripherals not connecting. I emailed the AV Access team who came back to me within 24 hours with solutions. (For those with similar setups: 1/ connecting the D23's USB-B inputs to the computers (cable supplied) in addition to the DP inputs solved the peripherals issue, and 2/ to resolve the issue with the monitor connected through HDMI, I replaced my passive DP>HMDI cable, with a £25 Startech active DP>HDMI adaptor). Now everything works - and it's amazing! Being able to switch at a click of a button all three monitors (+audio adaptor/mic +webcam +Stream deck +prompter) is game-changing. The device itself has a high build quality, and looks nice on my desk. I may still invest in the clicker button. The service from AV Access was quick and friendly (thanks Johnny and James). I got the feeling that they genuinely cared to solve my issue, and was left in no doubt that if not resolved there would be no problem returning the item.

I’m happy I didn’t cheap out on this and go for something of a poorer quality. This is a formidable device, a high build quality and brilliant signal quality. It happily powers my smaller work laptop from the USB-C (not my gaming laptop though, but I knew this)I also bought the wired button switch which makes a huge difference.Overall, excellent. No regrets at all about the purchase.

Pros:* Works well with 165Hz 1440p variable refresh rate displays.* Connected USB devices seem to be working well.* Comes with all the cables required to set it up, all decent quality.* The optional remote looks great, and has status LEDs to show which host is active for setups where the KVM itself is hidden from sight.Cons:* The USB side is a mess. It somes up as a composite device with a bunch of virtual peripherials, but it keeps randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. Luckily it seems this does not affect the connected USB keyboard and mouse.* Their forum contains a thread with the same issue, but there's no resolution there.* Contacted the customer support via email a week ago, but haven't heard back from them.Update: received a reply from the customer support, they are working on a resolution

I'm interfacing with Apple monitors via USB-C (Thunderbolt) connections. Despite testing multiple certified cables and a range of compatible adapters across both devices, I’ve been unable to establish a functional display connection.If you have a similar issue and found a solution, I would be happy to discuss further with you.

Just arrived yesterday and I’m already very impressed. It does everything it says it would, plus one or two things it didn’t say it could!The switching is seamless, the elimination of window resizing, sharing of peripherals - including a bluetooth mouse that is now shared across all devices (connected to the unifying receiver plugged into the Dock).One thing the product description doesn’t tell you is that it will support an ultra wide monitor at 3440 x 1440.I was forced into buying a new hub after my old one died, and now I wish I’d had a 2 laptop hub a long time ago.Well done AV Access 👏

Since covid, I must have tried every permutation to get a convenient home working setup that easily switches between a work PC and home mac. Every solution to date has had compromises that niggle on a daily basis.Finally I have a working setup with 3 * 24" IPS screens, webcam, wireless headset, wireless keyboard and wireless mouse that switch between a mac mini and work laptop with a single button.All inputs and outputs are to the back of the switch box and I've got multiple devices connecting in via an unpowered USB hub so this keeps the desk environment uncluttered and cable free.To make the user experience even better, switching is possible via keyboard shortcuts. I could move the switch box out of sight but it's handy to have USB sockets on the desk for occasional keyboard/phone charging.The only thing that would make this better is if all video connections were HDMI. If you don't have displayport connectors on your source device (or in the case of the mac mini, the third output device needs to be USB), most converter cables are directional and in the wrong way.Whether you're looking to get a mac or work laptop connected to 3 displays, a USBC hub with 3 displayport connectors appears to be a good solution. Have found HDMI to displayport cables (both powered and unpowered) to be unreliable.

Seems like a decent bit of kit of the face of it but I don't think it is made clear enough that it does not work properly with a MacBook Pro in that if you plug in the USB C it will only mirror the two displays not show them as two separate displays. The only way to do this I think will be with an additional HDMI splitter which is not ideal. If you are wanting to use with apple then you may be better waiting until they release a product they are developing that does work with Mac OS.

This is an excellent product. I've searched a long time for something to allow me to 1) share keyboard, mouse, etc. between work and home laptops, 2) add connectivity for each with their limited USB-C connecters and 3) to enable push button switching from one machine to the other. This product does all 3 out the box and my desk is now the cleanest it has even been! Great stuff.
