In other words, it will reformat the screen (and rearrange windows) and possibly also trigger sleep mode on the laptop/desktop that you switch away from. Also, on switching back to the said laptop/desktop, it will take long(er) time to get the display back on the monitor because your laptop/desktop will believe a new monitor is being attached to it. It happened to me many times with my Mac-based units attached to these types of non-EDID emulation KVM switches. It's incredibly annoying.
For any serious work, where you frequently switch between units, you'll want a KVM switch with EDID emulation.
If anyone else have any questions about it, I am willing to answer if I can. At this price, I highly recommend it!

My problem with these KVM's is that they seldom switch from one device to the other in less than a couple of seconds, which is long enough to break my flow. Really looking for a good reliable KVM that switches in under a half second.
Thanks, OP!

Anyway, ordered, and repped!

Also have you considered using software like Synergy to do software-based KVM if you need it to be instant?

HDMI seems to have the same issue, but in my anecdotal experience it handles the connects and disconnects slightly more gracefully than DP.
If anyone knows of literally any DisplayPort KVM that switches fast I'd love to have a recommendation.
