A device without any specifications and five different operating system logos behind it. Forgive me, to say that I'm sceptical would be a gross understatement.
Perhaps a more believable post would include the specifications and a link to the supplier.
It’s a KVM switch? How much specs do you need?
It's unfortunate that Keyboard Video Mouse and Kernel Virtual Machine share the same three letter acronym and that both are in widespread use in relation to multiple operating systems.
Hence my scepticism.
You seriously thought a virtual machine would be a buyable device…?
That’s an even worse take lmfao.
For real, there's a picture of a little black box that says "HDMI KVM" on it. There's no confusion here.
The compatibility list is all perfectly true so long as the output is HDMI I guess. You could use TempleOS for all this thing cares.
HDMI Version, max supported resolution & refresh rate for a start
You should be skeptical that those five operating systems are all that it works with. Do you seek out networking equipment that specifically lists compatability with your operating system too?
KVM != networking equipment (or at least not desktop KVMs)
Both use standards that are basically device agnostic, particularly by the time you get to the OS-level. Try to keep up.
I once had a keyboard with a "Works with Netware!" sticker.
Alas, I can't find any networking gear that has a "works with Linux" sticker so I'm just out of luck on that "Internet" thing all the kids are talking about.
Honestly more respectable than what I was replying to before, unless they were being sarcastic at first.
Seriously though, I dig it. Just a bit off these last few days.
I used to have a KVM that was this style. There is a physical button on top to switch between the connected devices, and it listens for double scroll lock taps to perform the same action with the keyboard.
I'd be more skeptical installing any drivers this ali express device comes with.
I've never used a kvm switch that requires drivers, the fact that it does would give me pause regardless of where it came from
I doubt it requires drivers and is just marketing/seo. It's like when a flash drive lists the operating systems it supports, they just want it to show up when you search your OS
lol, you might need the software to control the RGB lights.
Yeah, imma have to say no to the lights, if it wants me to install software malware to control it
