    Very good

    As described. Stable because it is not too light, which is useful because the cables are often quite heavy. Switches automatically to the last switched on source. Efficient remote control. The plug on the front is a real plus. In short, it does exactly what is expected of it.

    At last, a quality switch that is not too expensive

    No more HDMI ports, and I'm fed up with basic adapters that fail quickly or degrade quality. This one is perfect because of its design: sober, discreet, rather heavy, it holds well in place and does not let itself be dragged around by the pile of cables that connect it.
    The switch from one source to the other is done automatically when you turn on a device. Used for PC, Wii U and PS4 Pro. Front port impec to quickly plug in an occasional source.
    I thought the remote was useless but I tend to get little electric shocks when I touch it, so I finally use it :D

    Switch hdmi

    The product arrived quickly, it is well finished, robust and practical to use, the only black point is that it unfortunately does not support HDR in 4K, therefore unusable for my part. for people who want a switch 4K, it is worth it...
