A device without any specifications and five different operating system logos behind it. Forgive me, to say that I'm sceptical would be a gross understatement.

Perhaps a more believable post would include the specifications and a link to the supplier.

I used to have a KVM that was this style. There is a physical button on top to switch between the connected devices, and it listens for double scroll lock taps to perform the same action with the keyboard.

I'd be more skeptical installing any drivers this ali express device comes with.

I've never used a kvm switch that requires drivers, the fact that it does would give me pause regardless of where it came from

I doubt it requires drivers and is just marketing/seo. It's like when a flash drive lists the operating systems it supports, they just want it to show up when you search your OS

lol, you might need the software to control the RGB lights.

Yeah, imma have to say no to the lights, if it wants me to install ~~software~~ malware to control it
