Know before you buy
Yes, this unit is specifically designed for dual-monitor setups. It allows you to share two DVI displays, a keyboard, and a mouse across two different computers.
No, this KVM switch is completely OS-independent. It works as soon as you plug it in, so you do not need to install any drivers or software on your connected computers.
Absolutely. The built-in USB 2.0 hub allows you to share peripherals like printers, external hard drives, or flash drives between the two connected systems.
You can switch between systems using either the physical push button on the front of the unit or by using keyboard hotkeys, depending on which method is more convenient for your workspace.
It supports audio switching through integrated 3.5mm jacks. When you switch between computers, the audio signal will automatically route to the active system.
This KVM switch is USB bus-powered, meaning it draws the necessary power directly from your connected computers, eliminating the need for an extra power brick.
