TRENDnet TK-215i 2-Port HDMI KVM Switch Review
The TRENDnet TK-215i is a 2-port HDMI KVM switch built around an integrated toggle cable instead of a front-panel button, aimed at people who want to flip between two computers without reaching for the box itself.
It carries HDMI 1.3 with HDCP up to 1080p60, shares a USB keyboard/mouse, and passes both HDMI and analog 3.5mm audio with dedicated mic jacks. Being bus-powered off USB means no external brick, but the 1080p cap and HDMI 1.3 spec mean it's not for 4K or high-refresh setups.
Who it's for
Anyone running two HDMI 1080p computers who wants a physical toggle switch on a cable rather than reaching across a desk to press a button.
Limitations
Capped at 1080p60; no 4K support.
