HDMI Switch with Remote

Works very well. Comes with a small remote, but I've never used it -- the switch senses when a different device is turned on and switches automatically. Impressive. Small, well-designed, works great. Exactly what I wanted.

Originally purhcased this item in September of last year. I was very pleased with it, until it stopped working this month. I wrote the seller who confirmed they'd send me a replacement in four days. I got the replacement in about three days. It's a metalic black one instead of the metalic green, but it works well. I'm hoping it'll last longer than the first switch. I'm am giving this product 5 stars due to the seller being very responsive and getting me a replacement switch in perfect working order so quickly. When working the device does what I need it to do and does so very well. It will sense the most recent active connection which is all I need it for. Switching from my work PC to my Playstation or gaming laptop is effortless. I don't use the remote because I'm just an arm's reach from the switch so I simply use the button on the top of the box. When I'm done gaming or using my personal laptop, I power down these items and the switch will revert back to my work PC which normally is always left on. It works perfectly for my needs.

It's hard not to give this a good review based on the price, the nice metal enclosure, and the convenience it provides if you need to switch between multiple HDMI devices. I bought this because I'm spending 6 months in a rental while my nice AV receiver sits in a moving POD so I wanted a quick and easy solution for switching between the rental's cable box, my DVD player, and my Apple TV. This does exactly what I need for a very reasonable price. 5-stars so far. My only complaints: 1. An extremely plain, utilitarian remote that's made of EXTREMELY cheap plastic. It probably weighs a half-ounce. It works fine... just looks really cheesy, and make sure you don't sit on it or abuse it. 2. The power cable (does not come with a USB power supply) is very short... maybe 2.5 feet. It REALLY limited where I could put it and I had to do a frustrating balancing act with my power strip in order to get it to fit. I have longer cables, but, like I said, I'm in a rental and now I'm probably going to have to go buy a longer version of the cable even though I have dozens of them in storage. I also don't understand AT ALL why they put the power cord on the front of the unit! I chose this one because ALL the HDMI connectors (3-in, 1-out) were on the back, so they wouldn't look ugly hanging out the sides or front, but now I have this ugly (and too short) power cable hanging out the front. Why? In summary: great product with a couple of annoyances made to save a few pennies.

worked very easily. easy set up for tv people. newbies could prob figure it out too if you know why you're getting this. i had too many devices and 4 hdmi. i hooked up mini pc and swith to it. one would override the other no problem. also had a remote but i never used it

I agree with others who say the following. 1). The remote is too small and easy to lose. 2). The power output at the front of the unit is kind of dumb. 3). The power cord is too short. However, for the price and performance (so far) who cares?!?! First, you don't even need the remote. We've placed it safely in the remote boat and and have never dug it out. We've got the unit placed behind the TV so we don't really notice the power cord being in front. Third, we've got the Power Strip nearby so the short cord is just long enough... and we've got plenty of extension cords if it weren't long enough. The three devices we've got plugged (Blue Ray, Nintendo Switch, and Fire Stick) all work great with a perfect picture and performance. We also haven't noticed the unit getting hot either. All good! So far after two weeks that is.

This switcher does not work with PS5 out of the box, and the only way to get it to work is to change the settings on your console that you cannot do because you can't see it on your monitor or tv. (Watch the video) The fact that they shipped it to me in a box that had a partial return label still on it tells me this company doesnt care. I now understand why this is a frequently returned item.

Works well

PROS (vs. other competitors): - Power not required to operate - Power is a micro-usb, so the cable is easily replaceable - IR Receiver is built in, so no extra cables - Remote has fairly large buttons that stick up out of the remote - Remote has hefty enough size so it shouldn't be accidentally thrown away - Auto-switches like a champ, but has manual buttons on the top as well - All HDMI cables are on one side of the device CONS (well not a big deal): - Power cable is on the opposite side of the HDMI input/outputs, not the same side. - Remote is a little lighter than I'd like, but I don't really need to use it. Had another brand that lasted 1 - 1.5 years which came with a non-standard, very short, usb charging cable [input side was a round power plug] that eventually shorted so I couldn't just replace it with a cable from my box of old cables. Remote was so light and small it accidentally fell into a trash can & was tossed. Not only required power to operate, it had an IR Receiver cable for that remote that had to be plugged in to work. BOTTOM LINE: This brand / model seems to correct all of the other brand's flaws so well I hardly even notice that it's plugged in doing it's thing. Kudos for thinking through annoying issues. Only recommendation: maybe make a remote that uses a AA or AAA battery to give the remote more weight. The large buttons do help prevent it from getting lost too easily.
