Two-computer USB-C KVM

This KVM switch lets two laptops share a single USB-C monitor and peripherals. It requires each laptop to support USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video output. A standard USB 3.1 Gen 2 cable must be used for the connection and a separate USB cable powers the unit. The switch works with Windows, Mac OS and Linux without drivers.

Sustained 8K60 and 4K120 output

The switch maintains up to 8K at 60 Hz, 4K at 120 Hz and 1080p at 165 Hz during continuous use. It also handles ultra-wide resolutions such as 3440 by 1440. Data moves at 10 Gbps while the USB-C port delivers up to 100 W of charging power to the active laptop. Switching between computers takes roughly four to seven seconds.

Driver-free setup with wired remote

Press the front button or use the included 1.5 metre wired remote to change the active laptop; an LED shows which system is selected. The box contains built-in cables so there are no extra cords to buy. Mac OS can only mirror two external screens, not extend them, and the switch is not compatible with MacBook Pro models.

Questions about this item

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

The unit requires no additional power supply and has no fan, so it generates negligible heat and operates silently during continuous use.

Which cables or ports must my laptops already have for this KVM to work?

Each laptop needs a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and a standard USB 3.1 Gen 2 cable; the switch includes built-in cables for the connection.

Will the switch work with my older Thunderbolt 3 dock and dual monitors?

Yes, it is compatible with most Thunderbolt 3 devices and, when paired with a dock that has HDMI or DisplayPort outputs, can drive dual monitors in extended mode on Windows.
