KVM Switch 3 Monitors 2 Laptops 4K@60Hz, USB C KVM Switcher with PD Charging Function for 2 Computer Share 3 Display-2 HDMI + 1 DP, No Driver Required

Like most of us I have a work computer that they have progressively locked down. I have a personal laptop and since i work at home I did not want to have to plug in and unplug when I wanted to switch between them. I have 3 monitors and now with this I have two computers and switch between them with a press of a button. Easy set up and happy to have it. It does take a few seconds to switch, but not overly long. I tried several solutions and none worked. Key factor is to have thunderbolt connection. Good value for the money.

I have my own PC for gaming and music. I have a separate PC for work. I have these separate because I run Linux on my PC, and I use Windows for my work PC. I would get tired of disconnecting all of the cables from one PC and switch to the other PC, it was very time consuming, and would just cut into my workday. I didn't even know that KVM switches existed until a few months ago, and I certainly did not expect them to work as well as this one does. PROS It's the prefect setup for my multi-display connections to both of my computers. The input and outputs are meant for one HDMI cable and two DisplayPort cables, so you can have up to three displays. The switch also includes several cables and the correct USB cables for easy connectivity. Functionally, it's very simple and easy to use. There's a button on the switch itself that will allow you to switch between both inputs. You can also hook up the small auxiliary switch that connects to the switch via Micro USB. I have my auxiliary switch mounted to the top of my desk and the switch itself mounted underneath my desk for a cleaner appearance, and easy switching. I have looked into other KVM switches of similar quality and features, and they tend to go for almost 3x the price I paid for this one. The price on this KVM switch was more than reasonable, and far less painful to pay vs. the larger tech names. So far, it has performed just as well as the others claim to, at far less money. CONS I have read a few reviews that state that they have noticed minor freezing/flickering. I have noticed that on input 2 from time to time, but it has never happened to me on input 1. It's slightly annoying when it happens, but it's not bad enough to make me want to give this a lower rating, as it still performs very well. VERDICT Overall, it's a great KVM switch that fully delivers on functionality and value. It works exactly as advertised, and for a fraction of the price of other KVM switches. It was easy to mount and connect all of my displays and computers, plus my mouse, keyboard, and dongle for the headset. If you need a device to help you switch seamlessly between two computers, this is a great option.

My husband doesn’t have to rearrange his desk any more. Great value for the money. Thank you.

I have been using this KVM switch for two solid weeks now, and I am overall very happy with it. My desktop workstation uses 2x 1440p high refresh rate monitors, and I also attached a projector at 4k60 to test the HDMI throughput of this unit. I alternated between two different laptops, one of which could connect all three displays, and the other which could only connect two of them. In the first week I noticed some visual artifacts on the monitors that looked like zones of whitish horizontal bars across the displays. I first noticed this on the desktop, which was attached to Channel 1 on the KVM, but I did not notice it on the laptop at Channel 2. I swapped the channels and there were no further visual artifacts. After a week of no problems I managed the cabling on my desk, deciding I would keep the switch in place more permanently. In the second week I connected a different laptop, and that one seemed to show some of the same visual artifacts the desktop did. Perhaps there was a loose connection somewhere because that problem resolved itself. Of note, one of my wireless mice would sometimes lag for a few seconds at a time through the switch in a way that it did not do with a direct connection. Perhaps the mouse dongle is not particularly strong, and perhaps it experiences some kind of interference at the KVM switch that it did not in the motherboard USB port directly, but that does happen. I like to keep a tidy desk, and I also like to be able to put a laptop up and take it down, so being able to do so with one bundle of cordage managed neatly behind everything and plugged into the KVM switch really facilitates bringing the mobile workstation around, using the good peripherals, and taking it back away with relative ease. The video I uploaded had an original runtime of 1:58 before I edited it for time, but that shows how quickly you could tear down or set back up a laptop. There is a toggle button on the KVM itself, and a wired extension for easy switching. The video also shows the switching speed of the KVM, taking about 2.25s to toggle between connected computers. There were no drivers, and I used with Linux and Windows. I was able to push 2x 1440p165 monitors and a 4k60 projector at the same time from my desktop, but from my Windows laptop I had to mirror the projector to one of the existing displays due to the method of connectivity I used. The four usb ports in the front are nice, I use two for wireless mice and one for a keyboard, leaving the fourth one available for occasional webcam connection. I did not saturate the bandwidth of the usb ports. The price when I received this was $86, and I would call that a great value for what it is. Please note that this KVM switch would not wake my computers if they had gone to suspend mode, so it is important to be able to wake your computer another way (opening a laptop lid or pushing a power button). Most USB devices will not wake a suspended computer if they are detached during or before that state, so switching away and letting a computer go to suspend or hibernate will affect that outcome. For my use case, a desktop workstation and a mobile workstation that sometimes wants plugged-in peripherals, this is fantastic.

This has been working quite well for me for the past 45 days or so. One rig is Linux and one is Windows. Linux hates kvm switch. Windows loves kvm switch. Linux I can max out all 3 screens 120hz before bandwidth snaps. Windows I can max out to 144hz all 3 screens before bandwidth snaps. Linux sometimes have to turn off kvm switch for a few minutes before it decides to work again. Windows it works everytime no issues. I cast the blame on Ubuntu. So 5 stars for a good kvm switch at a decent price.

Bought in February. It’s now July. USBs on KVM all started not working out of the blue. Have switched usbs, cords, turned off- on etc. At first it was just on switch 2 where the usbs weren’t working and then within a day its both 1/2. Before this- was great.

I set everything up, turned it on for the first time, and it worked perfectly! I was preparing to troubleshoot for hours, but that didn't happen. It works perfectly, and when you click the button to change to the other computer, the delay is very short.

Ok but not for macbook windows yes

Product: - USB 3.0 Switch 2 Computers, USB Switcher 2 in 2 Out for Two PC Share 2 USB Devices, Mouse, Keyboard, Scanner, Printer Pros: - This USB 3.0 switch is a nice improvement to my quality of life. I no longer need to unplug my devices to use them between 2 computers. At the press of a button it switches! It's that easy. 👌 - Included are 2 USB cables to connect to your computers. - The housing of the body is good quality—metal construction. - I don't notice any latency between my mouse/keyboard actions and the responses. Cons: - One port is USB 3.0 and the other is USB 2.0. I know it's meant for a mouse or keyboard, but 2 USB 3.0 ports would have been the play.

The main idea was to be able to use only 1 keyb/mouse set to control both my own PC and other secondary units belonging to friends or relatives that I need to work on from time to time. It’s already a bit of a mess around my station, so the extra cables required for those computers, especially the extra keyboard + mouse, were driving me up the wall, before even starting the job. To keep the clutter to a minimum, I’ve been using mini keyboards with built in trackpads, but those are really meant for controlling streaming devices, not for any kind of serious work. My headless NAS will occasionally be that second unit, when remote access is not an option. I don’t know if I’ll ever need to share an external drive between 2 PCs and choose to do it through this switch. Anything that needs to be shared, should already be somewhere on the NAS, not on external HDDs. To be honest, I’d rather avoid using the switch for sharing any external media, unless I really have no other choice. It’s mentioned several times in the ad that only 1 computer at a time is connected to the external device. No kidding! I’m not too worried about the connecting part during the switchover. But if that device happens to any type of storage device, I become very interested in the “disconnection” part of the deal. Right now, I’m not trusting the switch and most likely nothing will ever make me trust it will behave like a gentleman with that storage device and that it’ll always do the right thing, instead of just yanking it out from one side before shoving into the other side, without mercy; metaphorically speaking, of course. And it’s not like it could ever be tested reliably. Everything might go smoothly during the tests, but then, connecting a different device with a different controller, might turn out to be your biggest bonehead move ever. The included USB cables are surprisingly soft; not at all what you’d expect from such thick cables. I spotted only 1 place where the cables’ length is mentioned in the ad and... it’s wrong. It’s either wrong, or I’m going crazy. The photo says 0.8m. I measured approx. 5’ (1.5m). Whatever. Soon enough, you’ll need at least one of them to be much longer. I bet you won’t find one around the house. As you’re shopping around, take a look at Male-to-Female extensions, as well. The extension might be cheaper than a Male-to-Male cable of same length.

This switch is very compact, measuring only 4.5 cm wide, 5 cm deep, and 1.5 cm tall. It has a nice solid metal housing, and came with two really thick USB cords to connect it to each device. There are two tiny green LEDs on top that tell you which device is active, but they're recessed too far to be really useful. You need to be looking virtually straight down on the device to be able to see the light through the case holes, although there is significant light leakage right at the button itself, that allows you to see which side is lit up when viewing from a somewhat lower angle. I have the USB switcher connected to a Linux desktop and a windows 11 laptop, and I plugged the dongle from a wireless keyboard+mouse set into it. It works really well for this purpose, and I really like that I can share one keyboard and mouse with both computers, and I love how compact this device is. I noticed that when I push the button, there is a slight lag before the mouse/keyboard work, and the windows 11 machine plays a little 'toot' noise. I looked into the device manager on windows, and ran xinput on Linux, to confirm that when you press the button on the switcher, the devices get disconnected / reconnected to each machine. That explains the switching lag, and the noises windows 11 is making. I reconfirmed this behaviour with a wired mouse, to be sure it wasn't something related to the wireless dongle. I also tried disabling the "USB Root Hub" power saving feature in windows device properties. The bottom line is this device isn't maintaining emulated USB connections to each computer - each button press results in an unplug / plug-in event to each OS. This won't hurt your PC, and as a keyboard/mouse switch, it definitely works. But there are devices out there that can avoid all the unplug/plug-in events. Unrelated to the USB HID emulation, although USB switchers often show this, I would seriously caution anyone from plugging flash drives or external hard drives into this type of device. Pressing the button does not properly eject the drive, so you're seriously risking data corruption unless you remember to eject the device from the PC it's connected to, prior to every switch.

I have a huge computer system at home. Between work, personal, and each family member having at least 2 computers... I've used a lot of switches and a lot of hubs. I've also used a number of items from this brand, and I can't say I've been disappointed by them yet. Everything is really plug and play, no installation required, this switch included. Since UsbA male to male connectors aren't that common, they included 2 of the them in here for you to connect to your two machines. They're thick cables, thicker gauge than the average charging cable, so they're actually pretty good quality and I don't notice any speed draw backs from normal usage. Sadly, this one is only for one USB device/connection, and I haven't tried if I could attach a USB hub to it to extend the number of devices. I think it should work since that's what hubs do, but I haven't done that experiment yet. But for the one device (mouse and keyboard combo with the same wireless dongle) it worked perfectly as it should. Since it's only for one USB, no extra power cable is needed to power the switch. Also, no extension is button is given, so you need to make sure the whole switch is in a conveniently accessible position so you can press the button as needed.

KCEVE USB 3.0 Switch 2 Computers, USB Switcher 2 in 2 Out for Two PC Share 2 USB Devices, Mouse, Keyboard, Scanner, Printer First off, the included USB to USB cables to connect to the 2 computers are BEEFY! Maybe I'm just used to having inexpensive USB cables but I was impressed by their quality. Secondly this little guy is so ity bitty! I appreciate when devices has a small foot print on my desk. The actual switch works well for my needs, simply connecting my wired mouse and keyboard to 2 computers. One side is marked 1 and 2, these are your connections to the computers. I admit, I plugged them in the wrong side first 😅 To be fair the leaflet isn't very helpful, but in hindsight it was an obvious mistake on my part. The other two ports are your inputs. I dislike that only one of these two ports is a USB 3.0 one, when the item is called a USB 3.0 Switcher. The images do show that the mouse and keyboard labeled port is not 3.0, but no where in the description or title is that mentioned. Specifically in the description it says "2 in 2 out USB 3.0 switch." This could just be refering to the outputs being 3.0, but it feels a bit deceptive. I don't think I would use this to swap any sort of file storage between devices because I've lost data from not removing a device correctly, and this feels like it would make it too easy to forget to eject them before swapping. Not to mention adding additional steps between the device and storage is just going to slow down your transfers. For a mouse and keyboard, or other peripherals I think this works just fine.
