MT-VIKI HDMI KVM Switch Dual Monitor 2 Computers - 4K@60Hz Dual-View

In this review of the MT-VIKI HDMI KVM Switch for 2 computers and 2 monitors, the bottom line is simple: this unit is for anyone who needs true dual-monitor control of two PCs using a single keyboard, mouse and shared USB peripherals. The reviewer found it most valuable for multitasking workstations where extended or mirror display modes are required and where high-resolution video matters, since the switch supports 4K@60Hz over HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2. Setup requires the correct cables and that each computer actually supports dual HDMI outputs, but once connected the device delivers a tidy, efficient desktop workflow.

Key Features

• Dual monitor control: Lets one keyboard and mouse operate two computers while both monitors display extended or mirrored desktops for true dual-workstation switching.
• 4K@60Hz support: Handles 4K@60Hz signals with HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2 and 18Gbps bandwidth so high-resolution video and sharp desktop rendering remain intact.
• USB 3.0 hub: Four USB 3.0 ports allow fast sharing of printers, external drives and other high-speed peripherals between both systems.
• Two switching methods: You can switch systems using the front-panel button or the included wired desktop remote for convenient, reliable toggling.
• Plug and play: No special drivers are required; typical setups work immediately after connecting the required HDMI and USB cables.
• Backward compatibility: Works with lower resolutions and older displays if 4K@60Hz hardware is not available.

Who It's For

This switch is aimed at professionals, content creators and power users who run two separate computers and need both displays active for multitasking, testing, or dual-workstation setups. It is especially useful where sharing USB devices like external drives or a single printer between systems increases productivity.

Users who should look elsewhere include those with only one HDMI output per computer and no viable adapter or docking solution, or casual users who only need single-monitor switching and do not require USB 3.0 throughput or 4K@60Hz capability.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Supports true dual-monitor switching with both extended and mirror modes for improved workflow.
• Maintains high-resolution output at 4K@60Hz when connected with compatible sources, displays and cables.
• Built-in USB 3.0 hub makes sharing fast peripherals straightforward without extra hardware.
• Front-panel button and wired remote offer reliable physical switching control.

Cons

• Each computer must provide two HDMI outputs (or use reliable adapters), which adds complexity and potential extra cost.
• Does not support keyboard hotkey switching, so some users may miss a software-based toggle option.

Our Verdict

The MT-VIKI dual-monitor HDMI KVM is a practical, value-oriented option for users who need two full displays per computer and want to share high-speed USB peripherals without extra hubs. It delivers solid 4K@60Hz performance and reliable switching hardware, though buyers must ensure each PC can provide two HDMI outputs or use trusted adapters. For multitaskers and professionals wanting an uncluttered dual-workspace, it represents a sensible investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do both computers need two HDMI cables?
Yes. Each computer must be connected with two HDMI2.0 cables plus one USB cable to enable dual-screen display through the KVM.

Will it work at lower resolutions?
Yes. The switch is backward compatible with lower resolutions if 4K@60Hz-capable sources or cables are not used.

Can I switch using keyboard hotkeys?
No. This unit uses the front-panel button or the wired desktop remote for switching and does not support keyboard hotkey switching.
