8K Displayport KVM Switch for 2 Computers 1 Monitor - High Resolution

In this review of the 8K Displayport KVM Switch, the bottom line is simple: it is for users who need to control two PCs with a single monitor, keyboard and mouse while keeping the highest possible display fidelity. The reviewer found the unit straightforward to set up and notable for supporting up to 8K@60Hz when paired with DP1.4 cables and an 8K-capable monitor, which is the single biggest reason to consider it. For mixed-resolution setups it is backward compatible and saves time by eliminating constant cable swapping.

Key Features

• 2 PC 1 Monitor KVM: Lets a single keyboard, mouse and display control two computers to avoid swapping USB or display cables and speed workflow.
• 8K@60Hz support: Delivers very high-resolution output when used with DP1.4 cable and compatible monitor, improving clarity and detail for creative or engineering work.
• USB3.0 ports: Three USB3.0 ports provide up to 5Gbps for sharing printers, drives or peripherals between both computers for faster transfers.
• Adaptive EDID: Works plug-and-play with no drivers required and maintains compatible display signals across Windows, Mac and Linux systems.
• Button and remote control: Offers local button switching plus a remote for convenient switching between sources without reaching the rear ports.
• Included accessories: Ships with the KVM unit, audio cable, desktop controller and two USB cables to get started quickly.

Who It's For

The KVM is best for professionals and power users who run two desktop machines-for example a workstation and a separate render or test PC-and want to share a single high-resolution monitor and USB peripherals without losing display quality. It is also a good fit for home studio owners who need high bandwidth transfers with USB3.0 devices shared across systems.

Users who require more than two inputs, a built-in USB-C or HDMI-only workflow, or who cannot supply DP1.4 cables and an 8K-capable monitor should look elsewhere. Casual users who only need simple 1080P switching may find cheaper, lower-spec KVMs sufficient.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Supports up to 8K@60Hz for crisp, detailed imagery when used with compatible hardware.
• Three USB3.0 ports allow fast sharing of external drives and peripherals between two PCs.
• Plug-and-play Adaptive EDID compatibility across common OSes avoids driver installs and simplifies setup.
• Physical button plus remote control makes switching convenient in different desk layouts.

Cons

• To reach 8K the user must provide DP1.4 cables and an 8K monitor, so additional purchases may be necessary.
• Only two computer ports; users needing more than two sources will need a larger KVM.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this KVM need drivers?
No, it uses Adaptive EDID and is plug-and-play, so no additional drivers are required.

How do I achieve 8K output?
To reach 8K@60Hz you must use DP1.4 cables and have a computer and monitor that both support 8K.

Will keyboard and mouse work after switching?
Yes, but each computer must have both a DisplayPort cable and a USB cable connected to the KVM for USB devices to be recognized.
