The blurb at the top says "allows the use of a KVM [...] without an attached physical monitor, keyboard or mouse." Is that not correct?

- ddalex 5y agoI mean it behaves like a software KVM, at which point you can use a hardware KVM without the added latency penalty due to memory copy....
- yc12340 5y agoJudging from reviews of hardware keyboard-video-mouse switches, they tend to work MUCH worse than Looking Glass. All modern GPU connectors are digital, so those KVM switches have to include a mini-gpu (usually a costly and buggy one). Also they end up re-implementing a complete HID support, because otherwise switching USB devices between hubs takes forever. In nutshell, KVMs aren't worth their money because they have to re-implementing a lot of hardware already found in your PC.
