Three-port 4K KVM switch

The IOGEAR GCS1953 lets one keyboard, mouse and 4K DisplayPort monitor control three computers. One port accepts a USB-C source with DisplayPort Alt Mode, while the other two take native DisplayPort connections. It is built for professionals who juggle a laptop and two desktops at a single desk.

Sustained multi-system operation

Switching between the three connected machines is instant and does not degrade the 4K video signal over long sessions. The integrated two-port USB hub keeps shared peripherals available to whichever system is active without re-enumeration delays. Power Delivery on the USB-C port charges the attached laptop while it is selected, preventing battery drain during extended work periods.

Compact metal chassis and cable kit

The unit measures 8.1 inches wide, 3 inches deep and 1.7 inches high, fitting neatly behind a monitor or under a dock. All required video and USB cables ship in the box, so the switch is operational immediately after placement. TAA compliance confirms it meets federal procurement standards for government and enterprise rollouts.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the GCS1953 produce when it runs all day?

The switch has no fan and draws power from the connected computers, so it operates silently and adds negligible heat to a desk setup.

Which cables and peripherals must I already have to use the GCS1953?

You need a DisplayPort monitor, a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, plus DisplayPort and USB-C cables for each computer you want to connect.

Will the GCS1953 work alongside an older DisplayPort 1.2 graphics card I plan to keep?

Yes, the switch passes standard DisplayPort signals, so a legacy DP 1.2 source will display at its native resolution up to 4K.
