USB C KVM Switch 2 Computers to 1 HDMI Monitor - 4K@60Hz Switch

In this review of the USB C KVM Switch from AILVLVNG, the bottom line is simple: it is a compact, no-frills solution for users who need to share one HDMI monitor and a single set of USB peripherals between two Type-C laptops or desktops. The reviewer found the device most valuable for home office setups and small server rooms where a single 4K display and a keyboard/mouse pair must be shared. Setup is straightforward, and the promise of 4K@60Hz display plus PD fast charging for the active laptop is the main reason to consider it.

Key Features

• Dual USB-C inputs: Lets two Type-C computers connect to a single HDMI monitor so you can switch control without unplugging cables.
• 4K@60Hz output: Supports Ultra HD 4K at 60Hz for sharper, smoother video when using a compatible HDMI 2.0 cable and monitor.
• Integrated PD charging: Provides up to 100W PD charging to the selected laptop so the active machine can stay powered during use.
• USB peripheral sharing: Offers three USB 2.0 ports (two A and one C) to share a keyboard, mouse, and low-power flash drives between computers.
• Physical switch with LED: Simple button control and indicator lights make switching immediate and obvious without software or drivers.
• Portable design: Lightweight and compact housing plus included USB-C to C cables make it easy to carry for mobile workstations.

Who It's For

This KVM switch is ideal for remote workers, content reviewers, and IT administrators who use two Type-C laptops or desktops but want to consolidate to a single HDMI monitor and one set of peripherals. It works especially well for setups that need a clean desk and quick switching without complex software.

Users who need to share high-power USB devices such as external SSDs or who require multi-monitor KVM functionality should look elsewhere, since the USB ports are USB 2.0 and the device does not support powering multiple machines simultaneously or daisy-chained multi-display setups.
