One 2 Switch
The main function of a KVM switch is to use one keyboard, monitor and mouse to start multiple PCs. It is important to simulate the keyboard and mouse signals to each PC and not influence the CPU operations during switching. Other important factors to consider when buying a KVM switch is the stability of the monitor resolution, whether or not it supports multiple platforms, and the compatibility of operating systems with different branded keyboards and mice. Every KVM Switch has a maximum number of PC connections. A single KVM switch can provide as few as two CPU ports, while a multiple KVM switch installation can offer more than 4000 CPU ports. As the number of connected PCs increase, the technology needs are higher (for example, signal identification) and the different ways of management increase (for example, remote control, multiple segmentation, high-level security, etc.) in order to meet the management demands of different environments. Currently, the remote control solutions use both hardware (KVM) and software (for example, PC Anywhere, VNC, OpenSSH, Microsoft Telnet Service, etc.). To understand the comparison between hardware and software, please refer to the Remote Control Solution column.

1-2-Switch is a party game developed and published by Nintendo as a launch title for the Nintendo Switch, which was released worldwide on March 3, 2017.[1] The game extensively uses the system's Joy-Con controllers, with players facing each other performing various minigames.[2][3] By 2019, it sold 3.01 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling games on the platform, despite the mixed reception.
Gameplay[edit]
1-2-Switch is a party game in which players do not usually rely on what is happening on a screen, but rather make use of audio cues and the functionality of the Switch's Joy-Con controllers to play in several different games. It features 28 different minigames, most of which involve two players, who each use one of the Joy-Con controllers and are often encouraged to look at each other during gameplay. Aside from tutorial videos for each game, players mostly rely solely on audio cues and feedback from the Joy-Con's rumble feature to indicate how well they are playing each game.
Development[edit]
After Nintendo announced the game at the Nintendo Switch event in January 2017, Nintendo showed off six of the minigames to the public.[2] The game was also unveiled to show off Nintendo's Joy-Con capabilities, through the HD Rumble and IR Motion Camera features.[4]
As a way to promote the milking minigame and the Nintendo Switch, several representatives of Nintendo of America took part in a cow milking competition at a dairy farm in Woodstock, Vermont.[5]

1-2-Switch received 'mixed' reviews, according to review aggregatorMetacritic.[6]
Upon the release of its initial trailer, several commentators compared the game to the WarioWare series.[13][14] Ben Skipper of the International Business Times made note of the game's sexual innuendos.[15]
Nintendo's decision to release the game separately from the system was criticized by several commentators, arguing that the game would be better off as a pack-in game, similarly to Wii Sports, although Nintendo stated that they opted to allow consumers to select a game to purchase rather than bundling one and increase the Switch's price so as to not disinterest consumers and compromise the console's sales.[16][17][18] Cory Arnold of Destructoid criticized the lack of a true single-player mode, and went as far as to say that the minigames were worse than what was included in Wii Sports, arguing that they lacked any sort of progression.[19]
By April 2017, Nintendo reported that 1-2-Switch had shipped nearly a million copies worldwide.[20] By March 2018, that number had risen to over two million.[21] By June 2019, total sales reached 3.01 million.[22]
