Video Description
I have two computers: one is my ATX gaming PC, and the other is my mini ITX workstation/editing PC. I've tried various methods to control both of them, but I've finally come across the ultimate solution (in theory): the TESmart DKS202-M24 KVM switch which is a 2 PC, 2 monitor 8K (60Hz/60FPS) switch: https://bit.ly/43aIzST [goes to tesmart.com] I tested this switch out for almost a month, using it every day as part of my normal two PC setup, to see exactly what I thought about it. This KVM switch was sent to me by TESmart, but this is a fully independent video (I am free to critize it, and I do raise vairous points throughout this video).
