Two-computer KVM switch

This 2-port KVM switch lets a single monitor, keyboard and mouse control two computers. It is aimed at users who need to alternate between a desktop and a laptop, or between a work PC and a gaming console, without re-plugging cables. The device supports Windows, Linux and macOS systems.

Three USB 3.0 ports and two switching methods

Three USB 3.0 ports provide shared access to keyboards, mice, printers, scanners and flash drives. The switch can be operated by a front-panel button or the included wired desktop remote, so the unit itself can sit out of sight while the remote stays within reach.

8K60 HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ceiling

The HDMI 2.1 link tops out at 8K resolution at 60 Hz, with backward compatibility for 8K at 30 Hz and 4K at 144 Hz or 120 Hz. High-quality HDMI 2.1 cables are required to reach those rates. Hotkey switching is not supported, so every changeover uses the button or remote.
