I purchased the MT-VIKI 8 Ports HDMI KVM Switch to manage 5 laptops, after experiencing poor performance results with more costlier solutions or multiple individual solutions connected together that were more economical but with a slow performance.
Set Up 5 Laptops – 3 Apple MacBook Pro (2015, 2016, 2018 models) – 2 HP ProBooks (2019, 2020 models)
– Keyboard: Keychron C2 Mechanical USB C Keyboard connected to KVM Switch – Video: Dell P3421W Ultra Wide 34 inch 4K display – Mouse: Logictech MX Master Wireless Mouse with wireless USB transmitter connected to KVM switch
– OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock (connected to 2016 Apple MacBook Pro using USB C) – Logitech HD USB Web Cam connected to KVM Switch – Aukey USB Hub connected to KVM Switch
=== Note: Using with USB C laptops. To use this switch with my 2018 Apple MacBook Pro, I did need to get a USB C to HDMI and USB dongle to connect the KVM’s HDMI/USB cables.
Connectivity This provide has plenty of IO ports to connect up to 8 computers using the provided HDMI/USB cables to the ports on the back of the switch.
On the front of the switch, I use the two front-facing USB Type A ports to connect my keyboard and transmitter for my Logitech wireless mouse.
The 3 USB port, a USB Type B micro, is used to connect the provided wired remote control.
The front panel also has the infrared (IR) signal receiver for use with the provided battery-operated, wireless remote control.
=== Switching Speed and Video Performance Switch speed between channels is pretty quick averaging about 3-8 seconds for signal scan to complete. The speed will vary based on the computer settings (sleep, energy saving mode, etc… for the connected computer channel you are switching to. I haven’t experienced any video issues using this product with my 5 laptops.
=== Wired/Wireless Remote Controls The wired and wireless remotes are very nice to have allowing you to position the switch just about anywhere you want on top, under or adjacent to your desk and computers, as long as the KVM switch can reach all connected devices (computers, keyboards, display, etc…) using the provided HDMI/USB cables and any other cable length restrictions.
The LED switches are pretty bright which can be a good or bad thing. I do wish there was a setting to adjust the LED brightness to low, med or high.
The buttons on the wired remote are slightly raised above the surface of the remote box and may require additional pressure to activate the switch. The mechanical buttons on the actual KVM device itself protrude a little more and oddest require as much pressure to activate the switch.
There is the slight occasion that I wish I could use the switch to display the video signal from one computer on the external display, while using the keyboard and mouse to control a different computer. This was something I could do with a previous hack of using individual USB and HDMI switches. But this is such an edge case scenario that out doesn’t bother me.
=== Final Thoughts Other than these minor details, I haven’t had to think or do much with the MT-VIKI 8 Ports HDMI KVM Switch, which to me is a good sign. The experience is almost transparent, and seamlessly works with my workflow process.

I have several PC’s running multiple OS’s. Rather than having individual Keyboard, Mouse and monitor, I use a KVM switch to provide these devices to the tower I’m using. This will be my 3rd one as they do burn out and stop working. Not only is the price good, but it also comes with the cables, which are pricey in themselves. It’s a real pain when the KVM switch is malfunctioning.

So far, I only have 4 servers attached to this KVM, but it has worked reliably so far. The rack mounts work well, and it only takes up 2/3 U, so it gives some extra space to the shelf I have below it. The remote works well within line of sight, but not at all around a corner (not unexpected). The cables it comes with are thin, but so far all of them are perfectly functional. That is comes with all the cables it needs is a nice bonus.

Works well, but there was no manual in the box. Can’t find a way to switch consoles without using the remote.

So, my first gripe with this is it picks up just about all my remote presses for my tv. This is annoying as it causes the unit to cycle through all the connections and beep EVERY time. Secondly, if you plan on installing this thing in a server rack, it uses 2/3u of rack space leaving 1/3u open. Now this can be remedied but finding this little sliver of a blank cover cannot be found on amazon. Other than that, I like this little unit. It works well and easy to use/setup. Comes with all the cables you will need.
