It works ok, but what it doesn’t say is that you need a constant power supply to it. I guess I should have figured since it doesn’t require batteries or anything.
If you’re doing a 2-to-1 setup, such as two game systems into one HDMI, it won’t work unless port 1 has constant power. I had my XBox360 in port 1 and PS4 in port 2, the PS4 won’t work unless the Xbox is on.
Instead I set it up with my cable box in port 1 and PS4 in port 2, since the cable box always has power. Minor inconvenience, but overall it’s ok.

It's worth noting it doesn't come with any cables so if you don't have a spare HDMI cable laying around to connect it to your TV, you'll need to pick one up. I got a little 1ft one and it was the perfect length. I also used command strips to mount the device to the back of my TV for a cleaner look.

Just what I needed!
By C. Miller on December 13, 2018
I have a small, older TV in my bedroom with only one HDMI port at an awkward angle. I was tired of switching out my Chromecast and PS3 HDMI cable so I decided to give this a shot. It does exactly what I needed it to do: add an HDMI port and allow me to easily switch between the two devices. It feels more sturdy and substantial than I expected it to as well.By C.

Perfect solution to the problem of running out of HDMI ports!
By Zero Ehxe on April 27, 2018
I purchased this splitter for use with my television and a PlayStation Vita TV console and Nintendo Wii U console. I ran out of ports, so a splitter seemed to be the perfect solution, much better than unplugging devices every time I needed to switch. This product is simple to use: plug the two sources into one side and the output location in the other, and you're done! It can also be used to split one device to two locations, like displaying a video game or television show on two different monitors. There is a small button you press in the center of the splitter to switch between the output selections. The video quality was good on the display even though it is going through the splitter.By Zero Ehxe on April 27, 2018

First off, if you want to use it as a small extender it works just fine and doesn't require external power. Please do note that I only added another three feet of HDMI cable on top of the 12 foot of cable I was already running.
Secondly, it's incredibly easy to set up and use. I tested it with an SNES Mini and my Dreamcast's VGA -> HDMI adapter. The little button on top lets you switch between sources and the green LED shows you which is selected. Super simple and super fast.
Now, the instruction manual does in fact tell you to limit the input cable to 5 meters (about 16 feet) and the output to another 5 meters. HDMI itself can go about 50 feet normally and the reason for this difference is since this device does not take external power, any HDMI signals going through it, ESPECIALLY if you're splitting it, will get weaker. I feel that for most people this shouldn't be a problem but if you plan on running devices from different rooms you might actually run into signal integrity issues if you use this. BUT for most folks you shouldn't run into any problems.
All in all I really like this little device and it suits my needs pretty well (needing to switch inputs).
I did a small test of splitting output and it does a wonderful job, although I don't really have a need for this function it is nice to know that it is truly a bi-directional switch.
Photos attached to show that there's no blurring or image quality lost as it passes through the device!
