Good: EDID emulation, two monitors in MST.

Weak: USB 3.0 Gen 1 (5 Gbps), 60 W PD - I'd assume 'creators' have fast peripherals (10 Gbps minimum) and laptops with preferably 100 W PD or 65 W at a minimum (some devices don't charge at all under some required minimum, which is stupid, too, but that's the way it is).

Unknown: as usual for any KVM they don't say what happens when you switch PCs while copying files to USB peripheral. I'd assume default - disconnect, lose data, filesystem faulty, work stops with errors.
