Is KVM still used?
A KVM switch allows for switching of the keyboard, video, and mouse between multiple computers with a push button, shortcut key, mouse button, or selector. Today, KVMs are used in datacenters, manufacturing lines, and control rooms.
Are KVM switches safe?
Not all KVM switching systems are secure, however. While they eliminate desktop clutter by allowing a single keyboard/mouse/ monitor to be used to access multiple systems, unsecured KVM systems are at risk from both intentional and unintentional security vulnerabilities.
Are KVM switches OK for gaming?
Historically IP-based KVM solutions were not recommended for low-latency gaming applications, but with the advancement in hardware technology and increase in network bandwidths, it is now possible to play your video games over the internet globally (WAN) or within a Local Area Network (LAN).
