This is a replacement KVM for an old one that has gotten flakey. So far, everything works as advertised. My monitor is an ultrawide 2560x1080 so I don't really know if the included cables are HDMI 2.0 compatible or just 1.4.
PROS:
-inexpensive
-small (about the size of a deck of cards, only slimmer)
-easy to switch between sources. Can tell at a glance which source you are using (blue or green LED)
-about a 2-3 second delay between switching and response on the screen (a good part of this is likely the syncing/negotiation of the HDMI signal. The delay is about the same as my old KVM.
- USB powered (no wall wart required)
CONS.
-Lightweight plastic enclosure. Forget about having it at the edge of a table or similar... the weight of the cables will tilt it.
-USB powered. limits what you can plug in to the 2 USB inputs. No power-hungry keyboards or external drives unless your PC's USB port delivers lots of power.
-HDMI output is on the front, so the output cable gets in the way of a "cleaner" installation.
-USB hubs are a little flimsy... connection to the computers are looser than I would like (but I haven't lost connection yet).
-Included cables are short (about 3ft/0.9m).

My workspace is limited so I want to share the monitor of my desktop to my laptop so I don't need to buy a 2nd monitor. I can also share the keyboard and mouse of my desktop for my laptop so just one set for two machines. As what other reviewers mentioned, the USB connection part is loose if you slight touch it. But my keyboard and mouse got disconnect by itself in a random time even I didn't touch them so I thought I should return it anyway. However, the seller did a followup service for my order. I got the replacement and found out the 1st one I got it is defective as the replacement did not disconnected unless I move my laptop. If your machines can sit in a steady place or maybe not so much traffic around, it works perfectly. Switching two machines screens just in a second by clicking a botton. If that USB connection really bother you, a simple way is just buy a higher quality USB-USB cable. The product has no problem at all (except the 1st one I got). It did its job and with reasonable pricing and impressive service, I can give it 5 stars.

I also used this device as a peripheral Hub for my laptop, where it also works as expected!
But lets focus on DeX, because that is what i used it for:
It connects almost instantly and peripherals such as a mouse and keyboard allow you to use DeX as a computer, with Microsoft word, excel and other apps like onedrive working as expected.
I did, however, run into one issue - Charging.
The hub has a power delivery port, where if you attach a charger, your phone will appear as "Charging" this is handy as Samsung DeX with a lot of apps open really drains your battery down, and quick. The charging on my Device firstly did not work, for some unknown reason, I tried it with 4 different chargers and none would charge though that specific port, so I returned it, Ablewe got in contact and suspected it was a defect, and promptly replaced it free of charge, so 5/5 for customer service, the second device (Which I now have) does charge my phone, but very slowly, so the battery will still drain while using DeX but its better than it not charging at all.
If Ablewe can sort the power delivery out it will be 5/5, but otherwise, I recommend using a wireless charger while using the Hub to charge your battery while using the hub!
Hope this review helped someone, feel free to ask any more questions and I'll do my best to answer them!
