PiKVM Switch: The Best KVM Solution Yet?

I tested the PiKVM Switch Multiport Extender with every device I had. Here's how it went.

Thanks to PiKVM for sending over the switches to test with all of my many random and stubborn devices. They did not pay me to make this video nor do they have any input into the contents of this video.
