Why even make this product

Aten knows how to make KVMs, but their Displayport units are lacking. The main problem is that it does not store the Monitor information from the monitor like their DVI units do. Every time you switch, the PC has to readjust the image. It is a mandatory feature to retain the monitor information, so you can switch smoothly. Unfortunately, this unit must go back.

A whole lot better than swapping connectors

I bought this item to facilitate switching bettween using a Mac Pro, and a Windows 10 PC. The unit works pretty much as described, although I found that the only way to use the hot keys to disable mouse emulation as described in the manual, was to use a PC keyboard. A more anoying aspect of this unit is that it is often necessary to press the Port Selection Pushbutton several times to get the unit to switch the Display Port, and USB. Also, it would be a nice improvement if this unit were USB 3 compatible.
