Critique: The Brilliant Mundane of the E-SDS HDMI 2-Port KVM Switch

Photos of the front and back of the KVM switch

Mike Velasco joins Timothy Keirnan to critique the E-SDS HDMI 2 Port KVM Switch. This item enables the use of two computers with one shared keyboard (K), video monitor (V), and mouse (M) at your desk. The holistic excellence of this product is surprising.

When a company designs a mundane office product as well as this item, which most people would never consider special or glamorous, it shows what can be done by caring passionately about all details. From its excellent user interface, to its rugged build quality, to its beautiful packaging, to its well-written and well-illustrated documentation, E-SDS did everything right. This is what a good team can accomplish when value, rather than cost, is the focus for the customer. It also proves that goods made in China can be of terrific quality.

Even its catalog entry on Amazon.com is done extremely well and, while this show does not have nor want affiliate links, we’re going to put the Amazon link here so you can see how well the catalog entry was done. It has all the photos and text one would need to make a well-informed purchase decision.
