USB C Switch 1 in 2 Out / 2 in 1 Out - 8K@60Hz with 100W PD

Our review of the USB C Switch covers a compact, bi-directional adapter aimed at users who need to share displays or alternate between two monitors without juggling cables. The bottom line: this switch is best for professionals and home users who need simple, high-resolution display switching and fast charging support, because it delivers 8K@60Hz video and up to 100W PD fast charging in a small, plug-and-play package. It is not for users who require simultaneous dual-monitor output or Thunderbolt device support.

Key Features

• Bi-directional switching: Lets two computers share a single display or lets one computer switch between two displays, simplifying workspace setup.
• 8K@60Hz video: Supports high-definition output so images and video remain sharp and color-accurate when the connected display and cables allow.
• PD 100W fast charging: Provides high-power charging to compatible laptops and devices when an external 5V power adapter is connected for faster top-ups.
• 10Gbps data transfer: Enables quick file moves for large media like music and video when using compatible USB-C hosts and cables.
• Plug-and-play compatibility: Works across Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS without drivers, reducing setup time for mixed environments.
• Portable form factor: Small and easy to carry, making it practical for users who move between desks or offices.

Who It's For

This switch is a practical choice for remote workers, content creators and IT staff who need to share a single high-resolution monitor between two computers or quickly swap a laptop between two displays. The support for 100W PD charging and 8K@60Hz output makes it attractive for power users who prioritize image quality and fast charging over advanced docking features.

It is not suitable for users who need to drive two monitors simultaneously, rely on Thunderbolt-only displays or docks, or expect guaranteed stability with every hub or docking station due to noted compatibility and resolution limitations. Users with Thunderbolt displays or Thunderbolt docks should look elsewhere.
