KVM Switch 2 Monitors for 1 Laptop and 1 Desktop 4K@60Hz, USB C HDMI Dual Monitor KVM Switch,Docking Station KVM Switches with 4 USB 3.0 Port, 80W PD Charging, Wired Remote and USB-C Cable Included

This is a review for the KCEVE 4K UltraHD USB-C+HD Dual Monitor KVM Switch connecting 2 monitors to 2 input devices (1 PC (2xHDMI, 1x USB) and 1 Laptop (USB-C with PD)] (KCEVE 2x2) After unpacking the device I arranged all the required input cables needing to be plugged into each of the two input devices (1PC and 1Laptop). The (KCEVE 2x2)'s connection for the PC required two separate HDMI inputs (standard size plug), and a supplied USB (type B) cable for the USB input from the PC); then The other connection is designed for a laptop connection using one data/video USB-C input and 1 PD input). You'll need extra HDMI cables to go from your PC (desktop) two video outs to the device input. Then use your existing 2x HDMI cables to run back from the (KCEVE 2x2) to your two external monitors. The two monitors used in my setup were two OLED 15" HDMI/USB-C monitors. I used an HDMI to HDMI-Mini cable from the (KCEVE 2x2) switch. I powered the OLED portable monitors separately using their respective power supply scheme. Everything worked perfectly. I used a Logitech Unifying wireless receiver as my mouse input without any problems. The KVM switch mouse signal switched perfectly to the two connected devices. I even hooked up my Samsung S21p smartphone and was able to obtain a reasonably consistent solid connection using the supplied USB-C cable and my USB-C PD power into the separate PD port for this device. The Samsung S21p switches to DEX automatically, revealing the mirrored DEX (desktop output) to the two monitors. I was also able to use my BlueTooth headphones without having to repair it between the devices. Basically, you pair it with the 1st device, then switch to the other device, then pair it with that 2nd device. Since the KVM switch isolates the two devices some how, my BlueTooth headphones worked on either channel selected, without having to repair. Nice unexpected perk. There were times when the Samsung S21p smartphone started blinking on and off on my two external screens. I determined it was a limitation of the Samsung S21p smartphone's ability to juggle all that video space and a power draw issue. I was able to switch to simple mirror mode as well on my Samsung S21p achieve reasonably good steady results. Lets face it, I was pushing it to get my phone to work with the KVM and 2x monitors! To make sure the PC1 port (USB-C) channel of the KVM switch worked, I setup my Microsoft Surface Pro 8 in place of the phone. I simply used the supplied USB-C single cable to connect my entire SP8 to the KVM switch. It worked flawlessly. So not much more to say here. I decided to keep the 3 channel [1: PC, 2: Laptop (USB-C), and 3: Laptop (USB-C)] to explore having all my readily used devices able to connect as follows: Desktop (2x HDMI) plus (USB (supplied cable) MS Surface Pro 8 (USB-C) Samsung S21p (USB-C) plus USB-C PD I'll post a review of the 3 channel setup at another time. I've included the last final portion of my setup were my MS Surface Pro 8 and Desktop switched and worked perfectly. I've also included a set of photos of the item. Hope this was helpful.

This is a powered USB hub with a hard switch, so that it completely disconnects from all inputs but one at a time. As you change inputs, the whole hub disconnects and reconnects, which has been working quite well for me. I've used others that tried to maintain the hub connection but detach the devices, and that was often troublesome. The simplicity of this switch strikes me as an advantage. However, it uses weird, nonstandard cables, so if the included ones aren't long enough, you'll have to use cable extenders, rather than just replacing them. IMO, this would be a better unit if it used standard cabling.

While I gave this a 5 start rating please read the review closely, this will not be the best choice for many people. I use a work computer (HP Laptop) and a custom-built desktop computer with an Nvidia 4060TI card (I like to game). I have an LG 34 inch monitor and a 27 inch 2K res monitor. I required a dual monitor switch that allowed two monitors to be used with two computers. When I set this up the switch/kvm it worked fine, zero issues. The remote switch is a nice feature but feels cheap. I have no idea how you get a replacement switch. The issue with the unit is that it will not work well with most rigs that have a dedicated graphic cards. Most video cards come with only one hdmi port now (there are exceptions). For this to work you need two hdmi ports as there are no displayport connectors on the switch. You can buy an an hdmi to displayport cable but you are limited to 30FPS if you go that route as I did. I can live with the limitations but there are better options out there.

This is a lower cost switch docking station designed for one laptop and one desktop PC. I use this for my personal MacBook Air (M4) and my windows PC. If you are looking for a switch, make sure you know which ports are needed for each device. For my Macbook, the docking station will accept a USB-C input for data. The magsafe connector on my Mac has a USB-C on one end, and that can be plugged into the powered USB-C port on the docking station for charging the Macbook. Since I routinely take my Macbook and charger with me, I don't bother using the powered USB-C input. The front of the box is where the shared peripherals plug in: 3 USB-A ports and 1 USB-C port. I use the USB-A ports for the shared keyboard, mouse, and wireless headphone dongle. With the remaining USB-C port, I connected it to a port expander to give me more USB-A and C ports. I do not use the wired remote control button because it is redundant with the switch button on the docking station itself. The PC connects to the docking station with USB-B (cable is included) for data and up to 2 HDMI inputs. HDMI is the only PC input and video output with this docking station. It works well most of the time. However, not surprisingly, Macs always seem to have some incompatibility issues with non-Mac devices. One very annoying thing I noticed is that my if I switch over to my PC for a long time, my Macbook will have to be woken manually in order for my connected peripherals to work. Switching to the PC is always flawless, but switching back from the PC to the Macbook does not always work seamlessly. If I put my Macbook to sleep and then wake it up later without switching to the PC, the peripherals work normally. It's strange how switching to PC renders the Macbook unable to wake up the peripherals unless I open the lid of my Macbook or reconnect the USB-C on my Macbook. I can't comment on the dual monitor capability since I currently have only one monitor. It is known that Macbooks require one connection per monitor in order to have two distinct displays. Also, this devices draws a lot of current and gets hot easily. I recommend turning the switch docking station off if you are not using either device for a while

I regularly work on three computers, 2 desktop and 1 laptop. Sometimes, a second laptop, and a raspberry pi 5. I used KVMs long way back, but I now I want one set of keyboard and mouse to switch but no change on the displays. I usually have 3 monitors for 1 computer, sometimes the 3rd monitor is connected to the second desktop, and then various combinations. However I want to be able to see displays of computers I am running, rather than switching en bloc. USB switches is what I need. I won't plug in hard disks, except USB flash disks since switching will unplug connection and power to the disk and connects it to the next computer, not nice, might kill the disk. On this basis, I don't think I need to plug in power, and off the power is unplugged. The remote selector works too. At the moment I have 2 computers plugged in. Is there a lag? Not sure, there are way too many things here that something else is going to cause delays. By the way, as I got an ergonomic mouse to try out, that has a separate usb dongle, the keyboard has its own dongle (which works with its own mouse). So two dongles there on this unit. In fact, given there are 4 inputs, I could have another set of keyboard mouse to take up the 3rd or 3rd 4th usb slot. Then I have 2 sets of of keyboard mouse to control up to 4 of the computers. Not sure what use cases require that. I agree the A-B usb cables are very short. One day I'll need to retrieve my 3m usb extension cables but for the moment this is fine. This unit delivered in expected timeframe. I ordered one in the weekend for same day delivery which didn't come because "it had an issue", considering where I live has a concierge and bell to the flat, the issue not mine. Before that, I placed an order for one which is shipped from the USA. Some 10 days expected delivery which I was prepared to wait for given good reviews. However, on the day of delivery, it claimed the item was not there and so a delay of another 4-5 days. I let both of these go and tried again, third one fine. Update May 2025 This unit regularly turns off every 10 minutes or so. I have it powered up, using its own cable. Every ten minutes or so, my USB mouse and keyboard lost connection. I had to toggle the switches to get the connection back. I can't test all eventualities to isolate the problem. But having moved my usb dongles to the pc case yesterday, the devices have been working without a break. Yes I did try different port combinations, I haven't got time to test everything out yet. Now, 5 down to 1 star.

I bought these to connect 3 P computer to a single keyboard and mouse. The cables provided are just 0.8M in length. Also these cables USB B to A are very rigid. It matters becuase the switch is very light and small which makes it prone to cable movement. Yes, you can order longer braided or softer cables to get over this hurdle but it defeats the purpose of the product. At less then a meter, you will probably have all your PC within your arms reach so a switch becomes pointless. Alternative products with longer cables or USB B options will be more cost effective than this. Good concept, bad execution.

It's OK for Mac, and booted Linux environments, but it didn't work well for me for BIOS or Proxmox console access, so it's not really universal, and I can't make use of it. Like many KM switches it incorporates a hub and I think this means it won't work under some conditions, e.g. holding down 'DEL' to access the BIOS.
