Display flickers constantly, plus bad cable management

By Steven
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2020-05-13

This didn't work at all for me. The display flickered on and off every second or two. Plugging either computer directly into the display was fine, so the problem was with the switch. My guess is that it only supports DisplayPort 1.1. Also, as a minor annoyance, the cables that go to the two computers aren't labeled or even bundled, so you have to trace them from the switch and hope you didn't mix up any of them. And if you don't use all the cables (for example, if you're not using the microphone cables), they're pretty bulky and messy. I wish it had simply had ports to plug cables into, which would have made cable management a lot easier.

Works fine for video and keyboard. Haven't tested the audio

Since I only needed this for video and keyboard, I haven't tested the way in which it handles audio. But for my needs� (switching between Mac Pro 5,1 and a Macbook Pro) it works fine. I did need two adapters to go from Display Port to Mini Display Port.
