Hi everyone,
I’ve almost given up on finding a reliable solution! I’ve tried about six different KM and KVM products—some retail, some B2B. Honestly, some are as useful as a doorstop, while others fall short of providing a complete solution. I’ve tried Symless Synergy, Duet, and Barrier, but they all seem to break whenever Mac or Windows comes out with a major update.
I’m posting here to see if Level1Tech’s KM solution is what I need before going ahead and importing it to the UK. I’d appreciate any insights or confirmation that it’ll work with my setup:
• Three computers: a Windows 10 PC, a Mac Mini M2, and a PC running Ubuntu.
• Three gaming monitors: each with different frame rates and resolutions.
• I’m currently studying ML with digital healthcare data and doing a lot of coding, so I need to switch quickly and seamlessly between computers using a single mouse and keyboard.
Basic Criteria
1. Very quick switching with hotkey functionality to switch between any of the three setups.
2. Monitor layout: one vertical monitor on the left and two horizontal monitors stacked on the right. This is essential, as I can’t arrange them in a straight line.
3. Up-to-date software: newer than five years old, as too many options I’ve tried are outdated.
4. Reliable functionality across Mac, Windows, and Ubuntu.
Nice-to-Have Criteria
• Floating mouse that moves between all three computers.
• Software-free solution without installations.
• Retain mouse DPI settings per device.
Could anyone confirm if Level1Tech’s KM solution at least covers the first four points? It would really make my day if it fulfills all of my criteria!
I’m feeling pretty defeated at this stage. I’ve already managed to get two KVM switches removed from Amazon because they were just that bad. If anyone’s been through this struggle and found success with Level1Tech or has tips, I’d love to hear from you.
Thanks so much!
