AV Access KVM Switch 2 Computers 2 Monitors DisplayPort 8K@60Hz 4K@165hz/144hz,DP KVM Switch Dual Monitors with USB 3.0 Ports, Audio Out IR Remote, with All Cables

This isn't the first KVM I've used. Previous ones had little things that were annoying-but-bearable-given-the-service. In some ways with this one I downgraded from the previous one, that could handle more computers, but was single screen and HDMI. But I only have two computers I really need to switch between daily, and I considered fewer cables was a very good thing (I like clean cable management, and the difficulty to get there goes up exponentially with the number of computers). Here are the things this one does better than what I've had in the past: - No weird reaction when proxying the keyboard. Sometimes, they will repeat your keypresses several times. Very annoying when it was Ctrl/Cmd+w in a web browser. - Build quality. It's really well made. - USB and audio connections at the front. It looks less clean on the desk, but my son can unplug the keyboard to plug it directly into the gaming PC (allegedly to shave a couple milliseconds in Geometry Dash), and my daughter can easily plug her own headphones in place of the speaker. If it's easier for them to do, it's easier for me to undo. - USB passthrough. It works with a fancy keyboard/mouse that has dedicated software. Other KVMs also work, but without USB passthrough, you only get the standard keyboard/mouse stuff (goodbye the volume and mute buttons). This is minor but nice. - Connections at the back are clever, as well as the centre of gravity. Especially for the AC adapter: it's screwed it and stays in sturdily. KVMs typically sit at the edge of the desk, naturally pulling on the cables in some cases. Lastly, a very nice-to-have that I don't think is documented on this product's page: hotkeys. It's obviously not the only product doing this, but I love it and it works beautifully. And, once again, very clever setup: it's trivial to change the key you want, and for it not to interfere with normal typing. After 10 days using it quite extensively, I have literally zero complaints.

I've tried a couple of a cheaper KVM device sold on Amazon and both just wouldn't sync both monitors properly. This is a bit more expensive but comes with all the cables so might work out cheaper if you don't have cables, and I was also skeptical when the documentation said if you have issues use the supplied cables but I initially had issues with my original cables but when I swapped it for theirs it works fine. Works great even though I have quite an odd setup. Laptop with thunderbolt to 2xDP adapter and a desktop with a 2xDP GPU all going through the KVM switch into two DP monitors but one is old and is Displayport 1.0 and the other is even older so it's not even HDMI so has a active DVI to displayport adapter to make it DP compatible. Only thing I'd prefer is a wired remote button rather than the button cell remote but that's a minor gripe when I've finally found a switchbox that can cope with my setup!

Works perfectly, easy to install, all that was needed was inside the box

To get the refresh rates I wanted I needed to purchase some DP 2.1 cables and then Kevin from AC Access assisted in a firmware update for the switch. Now I’m achieving 3440 x 1440 resolution at 120 Hz with my widescreen Dell Alienware monitor and I’m very happy with the stability and features.

I used this product to connect two pc computers to a 43-inch 4k monitor and it didn't like it. The monitor kept having a blank screen for about 10 seconds and after a week of this irritating behaviour it stopped working.

I bought this direct from AV Access and it's the only device that actually works! I have an LG G1 and my use case was to get 4 x HDMI 2.1 Devices into the 3 HDMI slots on my TV. I have the Xbox Series X and PS5 Pro both connected to the same port on the TV. I am even using 15m Fibre HDMI cables to connect to the KVM. No i'm not using it as a KVM just to share a port on the TV with both of my gaming devices. Every splitter or other device always has issues (flickering screen etc.). This I have been using for over 6 months. It works flawlessly. Yeah I have to walk over to it to switch between Xbox and PS5 Pro but really...how lazy would you need to be...

EDIT 1 YEAR LATER The flickering issue is completely gone after a year! I extend my gratitude to Kevin Pan of Technical Support for his invaluable assistance in updating the firmware and supplying new cables, which successfully resolved the problem. --- OMFG, I finally got this KVM working with my Alienware AW3420DW (the notorious flicker monster) and my Dell S2716DG monitor. Both have G-SYNC. No, I’m not a Vine Customer here to review this, though I wish I had gotten it for free considering all the hassle I've gone through to make this work. I was battling some serious flickering issues and spent two weeks juggling various 8k DisplayPort 1.4 and 1.2 cables, on the brink of returning this KVM and throwing in the towel. Just when I was about to give up and possibly set up a shrine to cables past, I stumbled upon 16k DisplayPort cables on Amazon. Naturally, I had to try them. I got two “uni DP Cable 2.1 16k” cables. One goes from the KVM to Monitor 1, and the other from the KVM to Monitor 2. I'm still using my old DP cables (which worked perfectly fine before the KVM), and they are now plugged into the KVM. Checked Refresh rate on both monitors and they are both good, 120hz and 144hz. Switching between my work laptop and gaming rig is straightforward with just the push of a button. No issues at all. It even remembers my window positions when switching back and forth. Now I am typing this review with no flicker in sight! I hope this helps anyone else trying to get this expensive machine to work with their setup!

After trying several sub $100 KVM's, I bit the bullet and spent a little more for this one. I wish I had done it sooner. I went through so much frustration and so many returns on KVM's that claimed to support 4k @ 120Hz but didn't. This one truly does, and it works so well. No issues with VRR, V-Sync, G-Sync (support for other KVM switches told me they do not, despite not mentioning it on their product pages). No lines, no screen blanking out. Everything about this product is quality. This switch also comes with a couple of short HDMI cables, adding to the value and making the difference in price smaller compared to other KVMs. Do yourself a favor and just go straight to this one!

I had an issue with the KVM, shoutout to Krystal, they helped me rectify the issue quickly!

I've tried so many KVM switches off Amazon and have yet to find the one that works reliably. This switched worked perfectly for about a week then started having issues. The mouse and keyboard constantly disconnect from the switch as I'm actively working and the only way to get the switch to pick them back up again is to power it on/off. I've tried moving them to the other USB ports as well and same thing just randomly my keyboard will stop typing as I'm actively writing something. My search for a good KVM switch goes on I guess. *Edit: as of 4/17 I was given a full refund for the KVM by the seller so bumping my rating up a bit. Still wish the mouse/kb cutting out wasn't an issue but for now I'll deal with it

I have a Windows 10 PC with an NVIDIA 2048S, Macbook Pro 2018, and an Asus ROG 165Hz gaming monitor. I bought this *specifically* because it was supposed to support the higher refresh. On the PC side, it is only recognized as a generic PnP monitor, so limited display size, and limited refresh. Also when I switch to the PC, the screen is blank and I have to power cycle the monitor to get it to work. The Macbook Pro is not recognized at all. No picture. Tried rebooting, nothing. Monitor displays "out of range" error. Used the cables that came with it. For what it's worth, the keyboard and mouse switching works fine. But I could use a $20 USB switch if that's what I was after.
