Monitoring the traffic with usbtop shows that about the same amount of data is shown when selecting 30 or 60 fps. Btw, the manual of the device clearly says that it supports only 30 fps at the maximum resolution. What's happening is that the USB descriptors are not correct. Btw, this is the device: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B088NWWSKN I'm basically using it (together with a Logitech nano receiver) as a cheap KVM device :-) Thanks, Mauro
