So more of a USB switch than a KVM...

Agreed - writer needs to learn what the 'V' in KVM stands for!

My thoughts exactly where's the video. Even on Amazon it's listed as kvm. How tragic....

Strange they came out with a usb hub still on 5gbit instead of 10gb 20gbit or 40 Gbit

5gbit is 15 years old, good luck running your 4k cam in conjunction with other devices. Especially since it will not have enough input power...

You are better off with their older usb hubs ...

HDMI, Mouse and KB plug in on one side, 4 x USBC on the other go to 4 different systems for KVM. Why not this?  This is KVM switch.

Advertisement poorly placed. As written by others, a USB Switch is *NOT* an KVM Switch.
I wonder what the title "Senior tech writer" is really worth when mixing such basic thing up.
