As someone juggling a PS5, Apple TV, and a Blu-ray player on an older TV with just one HDMI port, this little box has been a lifesaver. No more yoga poses to reach behind my TV—I can switch between devices with a button press or the handy remote (though I wish it came with batteries!).
The 4K@60Hz performance is crisp, especially when gaming. I did notice my PS5 boots up faster than other devices, causing occasional auto-switching hiccups, but manually selecting inputs solves this. The plastic body feels lightweight but has survived my toddler's 'stress tests' surprisingly well.
Pro tip: If your LED doesn't light up, try connecting a powered device first. I learned this the hard way with my Roku stick. Now it works flawlessly, even if the automatic switching isn't perfect for all scenarios. For under $20, it's eliminated my HDMI port tug-of-war and preserved my TV's aging inputs.
