USB 3.0 Dual Monitor KVM Displayport 1.4 Switch - Dual PC 8K/4K

In this review the CKLau USB 3.0 Dual Monitor KVM makes a clear case for users who need to share a keyboard, mouse and dual monitors between two computers. The biggest reason to buy is its DisplayPort 1.4 support and flexible USB 3.0 peripheral sharing, which lets a single workstation setup control two PCs while preserving high resolutions up to 8K30Hz or high refresh 4K144Hz where supported. It is best for users who already have multi-output graphics cards on each computer and want a reliable hardware switch with a wired remote and on-box digital display.

Key Features

• Dual monitor switching: Lets two computers share one set of keyboard and mouse plus two monitors for seamless desktop swapping between systems.
• DisplayPort 1.4 support: Compatible with high resolutions including 7680x4320@30Hz and 3840x2160 at up to 144Hz for demanding display setups.
• USB 3.0 peripheral port: Provides a high-speed hub port for one USB 3.0 device so external storage or a high-speed peripheral can be shared between both computers.
• Wired remote and digital display: Manual on-unit buttons plus a wired push-button remote and digital readout make it clear which computer is active without guessing.
• Broad input device support: Works with wired, wireless (via receiver), gaming, mechanical and Apple keyboards and mice, and supports touch screens and ultra-wide monitors.
• Complete package: Ships with the KVM box, two USB 3.0 cables, two DP 1.4 cables, a wired remote, power cable and manual for out-of-box setup.

Who It's For

The CKLau KVM is best suited to IT pros, content creators and power users who maintain two desktop machines and need full dual-monitor support and fast peripheral switching. Its DP 1.4 compatibility makes it a good fit for anyone running high-resolution monitors or high refresh panels, provided each computer has multiple video outputs.

Users who only have a single video output per computer or who need EDID emulation for complex monitor handoffs should look elsewhere; this unit does not simulate EDID and requires each computer to provide the two video outputs for dual-monitor operation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-resolution DisplayPort 1.4 compatibility supports 8K30Hz and high-refresh 4K modes for modern displays.
• USB 3.0 port allows sharing of a fast peripheral without sacrificing speed.
• Wired remote and on-device digital display make switching clear and convenient.
• Works with a wide range of keyboards and mice, including gaming and Apple devices when a receiver is used.

Cons

• No EDID simulation, so dual-monitor switching requires each PC to have multi-output graphics; systems with only one video output will not show both monitors.
• Initial BIOS startup ordering is important for some systems to avoid black screens, which can require careful sequencing.

Our Verdict

The CKLau USB 3.0 Dual Monitor KVM is a practical, well-equipped switch for anyone who needs to operate two desktops with dual monitors and a shared USB 3.0 peripheral. It delivers strong DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidth and clear switching controls at a reasonable value, but it expects each computer to provide multiple video outputs and requires careful boot sequencing for BIOS systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this switch share a single USB drive between two computers?
Yes, it includes a USB 3.0 hub port and cables so one USB 3.0 peripheral can be shared between both systems.

Will it output dual monitors if my computer has only one DP output?
No, the unit does not simulate EDID and requires each computer to have multi graphic-card output for both monitors to display.

Does it support wireless or Bluetooth keyboards?
Yes for wireless keyboards that use a USB receiver; built-in Bluetooth without a receiver is not supported for direct pairing.
