Looking to connect a number of devices to my monitor (Switch / Xbox One / PS4). First question is rather simple. Are there any 3.5mm switch boxes that can do 3-4 devices outside of this one (which looks a bit shoddy):

Next question is for an HDMI switch box. My monitor has one DP port for my PC, and one HDMI which I use for my Switch. But I plan on getting another console eventually. Is there any downside to using an HDMI switch box for consoles:

Not too sure what specs the final output would be and if the consoles can take advantage of certain HDMI types.

I've had issues with an HDMI switch, but maybe because it was a cheap one from frys and I was trying to use it with a Roku and a Dell u3014 monitor. :confused:

As far as 3.5 switches, you could just combine all the signals unless you'll always have more than one going at once. If you'll only have audio from one at a time, combine them and never have to worry about switching. :)
