KVM Switch Displayport 8K 60Hz Dual Monitor KVM Switch - Fast Dual-PC

In this review of the Displayport KVM Switch 8K 60Hz, the bottom line is simple: this unit is for professionals and power users who need to control two desktop systems with a single dual-monitor workstation while keeping shared USB peripherals connected. It impressed by delivering up to 8K@60Hz video and providing a practical way to share a keyboard, mouse and other USB devices between two PCs without constantly swapping cables. The switching is reliable via a front button or included wired desktop controller, and the design prioritizes extended dual-monitor setups rather than mirroring.

Key Features

• 8K@60Hz support: Allows high-resolution workflows and supports DisplayPort 1.4 signals up to 7680x4320 at 60Hz for detailed imaging or large desktop spaces.
• Dual-monitor support: Works as a 2 in 2 out DP KVM so two displays can be used in extended mode to increase productivity across both connected computers.
• 4 USB 3.0 ports: Lets one set of USB peripherals be shared between two PCs with fast data transfer up to 5 Gbps for external drives and responsive mice or keyboards.
• Two switching methods: Manual front-panel button plus a wired desktop controller give quick, tactile switching with LED indicators showing the active PC.
• Broad compatibility: Designed to work with Windows, Mac OS, Linux and Unix systems so it can fit into mixed-OS environments.
• High bandwidth: 48 Gbps video bandwidth capability, enabling high refresh rates like 4K@120Hz where supported by cabling and sources.

Who It's For

This KVM is best for users who run two workstations or a desktop and a workstation PC and want a tidy, efficient dual-monitor desk setup while sharing a single set of USB devices. Designers, video editors and software developers who rely on wide, extended displays and need high-resolution output will get the most value from the DP 1.4 capabilities.

It is less appropriate for users who need simultaneous operation of both PCs or expect plug-and-play mirror mode for identical outputs; the unit supports extended displays but does not mirror screens identically and does not allow both PCs to be active at once.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Supports ultra HD resolutions up to 8K@60Hz, useful for high-detail tasks.
• Dual-monitor extended mode increases desktop real estate across two PCs.
• Four USB 3.0 ports simplify sharing of keyboard, mouse and storage with fast transfers.
• Two practical switching methods with clear LED indicators for ease of use.

Cons

• Only one PC can be active at a time and it does not support hotkey switching, which may slow some workflows.
• Does not provide identical mirror mode for both outputs; extended mode requires hosts that support multiple monitors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can both PCs be active at the same time?
No. The unit allows only one PC to be active at a time; you select which system controls the displays and USB devices.

Does it support mirror mode for both monitors?
Not fully; the switch is designed for extended dual-monitor setups and does not guarantee identical mirrored outputs from each input source.

Are drivers required for USB devices?
No. The USB ports are plug-and-play and the switch supports wireless keyboards and mice without extra drivers.
