USB C HDMI KVM Switch Dual Monitor 4K@60Hz - 1 Desktop + 1 Laptop

Our review of this USB C HDMI KVM Switch finds it best suited to professionals who need to control a desktop and a laptop with one set of peripherals while driving two external displays. The standout reason to buy is straightforward: it supports dual monitors at up to 4K@60Hz while sharing USB accessories and offering laptop charging via PD, which simplifies a multi-computer desk setup without constant cable swapping. Installation is plug and play for most systems that support display expansion over Type-C, and the included wired controller and power adapter make the unit fully ready for office or home use.

Key Features

• Dual monitor 4K support: Drives two HDMI monitors at up to 4K@60Hz from each connected computer, allowing full desktop expansion when the laptop supports MST or display extension.
• USB C connectivity: A single Type-C cable carries video and data from a laptop to the switch, simplifying the laptop dock workflow and reducing clutter.
• Shared USB hub: Three USB-A ports and one USB-C port let you share keyboards, mice, printers and other USB 3.0 devices at up to 5 Gbps between two computers.
• Easy switching: Switch between the desktop and laptop with a front button or the 1.5m wired remote with two-color active indicators for quick context switching.
• PD charging: The switch supports 100W PD pass-through and typically delivers about 73W to a connected laptop, keeping portable machines charged while docked.
• Complete kit: Includes a USB-C AV cable, USB 3.0 A-B cable, DC12V adapter and wired controller so the setup is plug-and-play out of the box.

Who It's For

The USB C HDMI KVM Switch is aimed at hybrid office professionals and power users who regularly switch between a desktop and a laptop and need dual-monitor productivity. It is particularly useful for those who rely on USB peripherals like wireless dongles, printers or webcams and want to manage both systems with a single keyboard and mouse.

Users who should look elsewhere include laptop owners without display expansion over Type-C (no MST or alternate mode) or people who need more than four shared USB ports or specialized KVM features like audio switching or network KVM over IP. Gamers wanting ultra-low input latency solutions may prefer dedicated gaming switches or direct connections.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Supports dual 4K@60Hz displays for expanded desktop workflows.
• Integrated USB hub shares multiple USB 3.0 devices at up to 5 Gbps between two computers.
• Includes wired remote and power adapter for immediate setup and reliable switching.

Cons

• Actual laptop charging is limited by cable and device losses, so delivered PD is about 73W rather than the full 100W.
• Dual-monitor function depends on the laptop supporting display expansion over USB-C, so compatibility should be verified.
