Ended up not needing this, my LG 5k2k monitor has the ability to switch between monitors, and the Logitech Switchable Keyboard and Mouse - allowed me to control both computers from a single keyboard/mouse.

Like the future proofing with this product with the 8K feature. Easy to use and set up. Just a bit pricey.

Returned… didn’t work for me! I purchased a cheaper version on Amazon and it worked fine!

I don't think alot of people know what they are missing out with a HDMI switch. The Rocketfish HDMI switch is exactly what I needed. My TV only has 2 HDMI inputs. This adds 4 more for a net gain of 3. I was tired of unplugging and plugging in cables every time I needed to watch TV, switch gaming consoles, plug in my computer. It also prevents the damage buildup my HDMI cords go through every time I plug and unplug. Setup cannot be more straightforward.You plug it in and you are ready to go. You can use either the remote (numbered 1-4) or the select button at the front to switch between your HDMi inputs. I labeled my remote inputs to make things easier. In addition, there is the auto-switch function which is actually very useful. It automatically switches to the input that is powered on. I found myself barely using the remote or the actual select button. It is powered with a wall adapter which likely helps prevent signal loss and degradation. I had absolutely no issues with resolution and lag. I do not have the luxury of owning any 8K monitors or TVs so I cannot speak to that but hopefully this means that the Rocketfish is future-proofed a bit if 8K output becomes standard. All in all, this is a quality switch and it really does make life easier for those tired of constantly unplugging and plugging HDMI cables every time.

If you're looking for a simple, easy to use and future-proof HDMI switch (or, as future-proof as possible, at least), this is a great one to check out. Rocketfish is one of BestBuy's in-house brands but that doesn't mean it should be overlooked. On the contrary, they produce solid, no-nonsense accessories that provide top notch functionality at a solid price and this HDMI switch is a great example of that. My first impression on unboxing the switch is how LIGHT it is - it feels feather light. In the box, you get the switch itself, a small remote with a power button and 4 "direct" switch buttons for the four inputs, a USB-A power adapter and a USB-A to USB-C power cable. You also get two small adhesive pads if you want to stick the switch in place (which you might need to do, given how light it is - you can also set it on a shelf as it has small rubber non-slip feet or hang it on the wall with the keyhole type mount on the bottom. The switch seems well-made despite being very light, so you should be able to expect a good long life out if. You do have to provide your own cables, so make sure they're HDMI 2.1 if you want the best performance from the switch. With top notch cables, this switch is capables of 8K 60Hz or high refresh rates at 4K (120Hz) - you also get all the other goodies as well, with HDR10 / Dolby Vision support, all the HDCP requirements, audio formats and the works. So it's really as future-proof as you're going to get. It's also very easy to use, just plug and play. The only slight down is there's a very brief interuption (5 seconds or so) when you switch inputs, but that's a common thing. So if you're in the market for a high-end HDMI switch to connect up to 4 devices to a single input, this could be just what you're looking for. Give it a try today!

The Rocketfish 4 input switch is an easy way to add more inputs for all your devices. If you have a tv that only has a couple of HDMI inputs or if you’re like me and have a tv that’s a pain to add additional cables because of the mount, this will fix both. I have an 85 inch tv that’s mounted with a flat mount that is impossible to get your hand behind without undoing it from the mount and there’s no side HDMI. I can now essentially have 6 HDMI inputs with the 3 my tv has. I don’t have an 8k tv but it’s definitely nice that it has 8k capabilities so its basically future proof for when I do upgrade. If you do have an 8k tv you also get HDR10 and Dolby vision HDR support. The included small remote makes it easy to switch inputs. Rocketfish includes double sided tape if you do want to mount this on the back of your tv and keyhole mounts so it can be installed with screws. This Rocketfish switch allows you to add more inputs to your tv at the same time giving you future proofing capabilities with 8k support.

I picked this unit up because my old unit was starting to have issues switching between things. There was lag and occasionally it would have a scrambled signal for a bit, then catch up. I thought it might be a loose cable and swapped it, but it was not. I saw this at a fair going rate for an 8k switch, and a brand I've gotten many times from best buy and has always done well for me. The old unit was up to 4k, so this allows me to be forward capatable a bit. Since the most I can do is 4k, and 8k not readily available yet, but i will be ready. This comes with the switch, power cord, small instruction book, and the ac adapter. Now whem i'm using this, I'm back to no lag in switching and good picture. The remote works well and the footprint is nearly identical to what my old one was, so it was an easy change. The lights are bright and can easily see inputs switched. I have nothing to deduct points form it feels well built, buttons are responsive and it does what it says. Five stars for this. Iwould reccomend this to friends and family

This is a device that allows you to connect multiple HDMI devices to a single monitor or TV. My setup was an Ultra-wide monitor with 5120x1440 resolutions along with devices gaming PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and an HDMI retro game system. The PC worked perfectly at the monitor’s resolution, the Switch 2 at 4K, and retro system worked at the FHD resolution. All at 60Hz as advertised and with HDR. I didn’t see any of the HDMI artifacts when you have a flaky system. Trust me, I have seen this in the past. The front has LEDs for each input cycled through and selected, and a select button. The remote has a power button and dedicated buttons to select an input. The select button on the unit works as advertised as well as the buttons on the remote. The LEDs and easy to see, although the input numbers silkscreened on the front could not be so easy to see making it a little hard to identify which input is selected unless you are right in front of the unit. The remote solved this by having dedicated buttons. There is a setting that allows you to either manually select an input, or an automatic mode that will select an input as soon as one is detected. I have it set to manual, so I have more control as to what input I am using but it is nice to know an automatic mode exists. I did try out the automatic mode and as I turned on devices, the switch changed automatically as it is supposed to. The most important thing about any HDMI switch is that it can handle the resolution and refresh rate. I have tried devices with three different resolutions and all work perfectly at the advertised 60Hz. It can also pass through HDR signals as well. If you are looking for an HDMI switch that works at high resolutions, get yourself this one. It works perfectly. I only wish it was easier to see the LED input identifiers from farther away.

The Rocketfish 4 input 8K Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 Switch worked beautifully for me. With this switch, I am able to run both my desktop and laptop into my 4K 180hz monitor using HDMI. With the remote, I'm able to easily swap inputs in a more reliable way than either waiting for auto-input to detect the right source or reaching up to tap the menu buttons. For testing purposes, I used the Rocketfish 8K switch on multiple devices and it worked just fine: the aforementioned 4K 180hz monitor, a 1440p 240hz monitor, and my 4K 120hz TV/AVR home theater/PS5 Pro setup. On each of those it worked as expected and even worked with VRR/Freesync Premium. The switch box is very lightweight and comes with two keyholes to mount it on a wall or you can use it with included rubber pads to just sit on top of a desk or TV stand. It does require a USB-C power connection, for which both a USB-A to USB-C cable and a USB power adapter are provided. It accepts standard 5V-1A power so you can really power it from just about anything if you lose or don't want to use the included power plug. Overall, this is a great little device and has already made my life much easier the last few weeks. Easy to recommend for anyone needing to add more 2.1 capable inputs.

The Rocketfish 4 Input 8K UHD HDMI 2.1 switch is a small form factor that allows for multiple sources in one box with one out so you can expand your amount of HDMI ports. This is good, because having multiple consoles, a 4K UHD player. What I enjoy about this device from the get go is its a futureproof device. This is because of its support of up to 8k 60Hz. Far as the future proofing go, your next generation consoles and graphics cards will work with this on 8K Televisions. But what about now? Well it jammed packed with HDR10 and Dolby Vision support! It has four HDMI inputs that will accept your game consoles Switch 2, Xbox, PS5 and your standalone UHD blue ray player. It does have a remote to make the switching very simple from a distance. Usage: I tested it out with a 5080 GPU, XBOX Series X , PS5 and my Panasonic UHD Reference player. Once all HDM2.1 cords were hooked up I was able to seamlessly switch and play them on my 120" home theater system. I saw no degraded picture quality. Overall this is a solid product and I would recommend any serious famer or home theater to have one of these. This had made my life easier and more devices connected at once.

I had an HDMI switch already, but it had a manual button, and every time I had to get up to change the input on it. This is a god send. Although compared to the old one this does require power and so takes up an outlet space. It has a fairly long USB C cable included with a power adapter provided. Plus this require an extra HDMI cable, to connect it to the TV, which is not included. (My older model had a built in HDMI out cable). Anyways once you have it setup, the operation is pretty straight forward. With the included remote you can turn it on/off, or switch the input to either of the 4 HDMI In ports. There are 4 numbered buttons thankfully, no need to cycle through with a single button. The remote itself works even if there is no direct line of sight, which I found accidentally, but either ways its great if you are running out of space. I have run 4K content on this for many hours now and not seen any glitches, or skips or any else weirdness. Overall a definite thumbs up, and a necessity nowadays with the number of devices we have hooked up to our TVs.
