DisplayPort 2-Port KVM Switch USB 3.0 - 4K@60Hz Dual Computer Switch

Our review of this DisplayPort 2-port KVM switch finds it best for users who need a compact, reliable way to share one 4K monitor and USB peripherals between two computers. The clear single reason to buy is its support for 4K@60Hz over DisplayPort 1.2 combined with a USB 3.0 hub, which makes it a practical choice for productivity setups where crisp video and faster USB transfers matter more than the latest DP1.4 features.

Key Features

• Dual computer control: Lets two computers share a single DisplayPort monitor plus one set of mouse and keyboard so desk clutter is reduced and switching is simplified.
• 4K@60Hz support: Handles resolutions up to 3840x2160 at 60Hz when both the computer and monitor support that mode, delivering smooth, high-resolution output.
• USB 3.0 transfer: Includes a USB 3.0 port and two USB 2.0 ports so shared devices benefit from up to 5 Gbps theoretical speed for compatible storage and peripherals.
• EDID emulation: Built-in EDID adaptation helps maintain correct display information for connected computers so resolution and color remain stable across switches.
• Button switching: A single physical button on the unit switches inputs in about 2-4 seconds, providing a predictable manual method without hotkey setup.
• Durable compact build: Small iron-bodied enclosure keeps the device unobtrusive on a desk while offering a more robust feel than lightweight plastic boxes.

Who It's For

This KVM switch is ideal for office workers, creatives, and home users who run two desktop or laptop computers and want a straightforward way to share a high-resolution DisplayPort monitor and USB devices. It fits setups where a reliable 4K@60Hz feed and faster USB transfers make day-to-day work smoother, such as photo editing, spreadsheet-heavy tasks, and general multitasking.

It is not a good fit for users who require DisplayPort 1.4 features, higher refresh rates (100Hz, 120Hz, 144Hz) or who need to convert HDMI, DVI, or VGA sources to DisplayPort. Also, if you prefer hotkey switching instead of a physical button, look for a model with hotkey support.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Supports 4K@60Hz for sharper, higher-resolution monitors when source and display allow.
• USB 3.0 port provides much faster data transfer for external drives and modern peripherals.
• EDID adaptation keeps display settings consistent across switches, reducing the need to reconfigure resolutions.
• Compact, sturdy metal case minimizes desk footprint and feels durable.

Cons

• Only supports DisplayPort 1.2 and does not support DP1.4 features or high refresh rates like 120Hz or 144Hz.
• Switching is button-only and takes a few seconds, so it may be slower than instant hotkey methods.
