I just got a new 4k@60hz monitor which required I replace my existing IOGear DVI kvm switch which has worked great.
I wasn't finding a lot of 4k kvms at a reasonable price so I bought this GREATHTEK on Amazon https://a.co/d/96bq1GQ
It has a major deficiency, it disconnects the USB keyboard/mouse when you switch. In Linux you can see this in dmesg and in Windows it causes the device-disconnect device-connect sounds to play every time you switch which is annoying.
I guess some kvm switches (like my old IOGear) maintain a dummy USB connection to disconnected machines to avoid this issue.
- I don't want to disable USB connect sounds globally in Windows 10. Is there any way to disable it for just a subset of devices or a specific USB port?
- Anyone know of. 4-port 4k@60hz kvm switch that maintains USB connectivity on switching? I'm not sure there is an official term for this feature so it can be hard to evaluate products.
