Dual-monitor KVM for two computers

This HDMI 2.1 KVM switch lets two computers share two monitors and four USB peripherals. Users can select extended mode for independent desktops or mirror mode for identical output on both screens. Driver-free operation covers Windows, Mac OS, Linux and Chrome OS, plus consoles such as PS5 and PS4. It suits home offices, teaching setups and gaming stations.

Sustained 8K60 and 4K144 throughput

The switch maintains 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 144 Hz across both outputs without dropping frames during long sessions. Backward compatibility ensures stable signals at lower resolutions and refresh rates. USB 3.0 ports sustain 5 Gb/s transfers for external drives, printers and other peripherals, staying consistent rather than throttling after an initial burst. The included 12 V power adapter keeps the link stable under continuous load.

Plug-and-play with wired remote

All required HDMI and USB cables ship in the box, so installation is a matter of connecting each computer and each monitor, then attaching the power adapter. Front-panel buttons and the wired remote both toggle sources instantly. The only common snag is forgetting to enable the correct input on each monitor or leaving a computer asleep, which prevents the switch from detecting a signal.

Questions about this item

Does the Explus-C 8K HDMI KVM Switch need a fan or external cooling when switching 8K@60Hz video all day?

The unit is passively cooled and draws power from the included 12V adapter, so it runs silently without a fan during continuous operation.

Which cables must I already own to connect two computers and two monitors to this KVM?

You need four HDMI 2.1 cables for the video links and two USB 3.0 upstream cables to connect each computer to the switch.

Will my older 4K@60Hz monitors work with the Explus-C switch alongside a newer 8K display?

Yes, the switch is backward compatible and will downscale 8K signals to 4K@60Hz for the older monitor while driving the 8K display at full resolution.
