Works very well with two laptops (standard HDMI outputs), one running Linux Mint 20.3 MATE, one running Windows 10.
Works with a personal laptop (under Xubuntu 20.04) and a pro laptop (under Widows 10) and with a wireless keyboard/mouse combo (logitech mk295)
The only problem is that under Xubuntu, the keyboard keys to switch between PCs (hot keys) do not work.
As a workaround, you can download a small script --> https://github.com/wbolster/startech-kvm-toggle. This allows you to put a shortcut in the dashboard.
