I have a Surface Pro and Surface Dock at home, hooked to a dual monitor. When I decided to add a gaming PC, I picked this switch partially due to its matrix feature.
After using it for a month or so, I'm pretty impressed. It was very easy to set up, and enables me to easily switch between the Surface and gaming PC in dual monitor mode, or to put one computer on each monitor. When in matrix mode, a simple keystroke is all that's needed to move the mouse and keyboard control from one monitor to the other. I can also choose which PC shows on which monitor using the remote. Works like a charm!
My only complaints (nitpicks really): The remote works fine, but the buttons aren't intuitive and there are several that do nothing - I assume the remote was really built for a different device, and simply reused. Also, the device itself has a comically large logo on top that would really bother me if the Surface dock didn't sit on top and cover it completely. Otherwise I'm very happy with this purchase and glad I spent the extra money on this device relative to some of its less-featured competitors.
