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.
It’s unfortunate that Keyboard Video Mouse and Kernel Virtual Machine share the same three letter acronym and that both are in widespread use in relation to multiple operating systems.
You should be skeptical that those five operating systems are all that it works with. Do you seek out networking equipment that specifically lists compatability with your operating system too?
I once had a keyboard with a “Works with Netware!” sticker.
Alas, I can’t find any networking gear that has a “works with Linux” sticker so I’m just out of luck on that “Internet” thing all the kids are talking about.
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 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

It’s a KVM switch? How much specs do you need?

Hence my scepticism.
You seriously thought a virtual machine would be a buyable device…?
That’s an even worse take lmfao.

KVM != networking equipment (or at least not desktop KVMs)

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

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
softwaremalware to control it
