USB C Switch Bi-Directional 8K@60Hz Switcher - 2 in 1 Out / 1 in 2 Out

In this review the USB C Switch is recommended for users who need a compact, plug-and-play way to share a single USB-C monitor between two computers or to switch one computer between two USB-C displays. The biggest reason to buy is its combination of high-resolution video support and PD100W charging in a small, portable box, which makes it useful at a desk or in a mobile workstation setup. It is strictly a USB C device, so users with Thunderbolt or HDMI-only displays should note that limitation before purchasing.

Key Features

• Bidirectional switching: Lets two USB C hosts share a single monitor or lets one host switch between two USB C monitors for flexible workstation layouts.
• 8K and high refresh support: Supports up to 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz, and 1080P@165Hz so users can get high-definition images when both ends support the same resolution.
• PD100W charging pass-through: Provides up to 100W power delivery to charge a laptop while routing video and data through the switch.
• 10Gbps data transfer: High-speed USB data throughput lets file transfers and media streaming move quickly over the switch when used with compatible devices.
• Plug-and-play compatibility: No drivers required and it works across Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Chrome OS with standard USB C devices for simple setup.

Who It's For

This switch is best for professionals, content creators, and multitaskers who use USB C monitors or laptops and need to share a single display between two systems or alternate one system between two displays. It is also useful for people who want PD100W charging while switching video and data on a compact device.

It is not for users who rely on Thunderbolt displays, HDMI-only monitors without USB C input, or those who expect simultaneous dual-monitor output from a single computer; the device cannot mirror two outputs at once and does not support Thunderbolt docks or enclosures.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Supports very high resolutions up to 8K@60Hz for sharp, futureproof displays.
• Fast PD100W charging keeps a laptop powered while switching video.
• 10Gbps data transfer speeds reduce wait time for large files.
• Portable, plug-and-play design works across major operating systems.

Cons

• Not compatible with Thunderbolt devices or HDMI-only displays, which limits use with some studio monitors.
• Some users report a noticeable switching delay of several seconds between inputs.

Our Verdict

The USB C Switch is a practical, value-oriented tool for anyone who needs to share a USB C monitor or alternate between two USB C displays while retaining high-resolution video and up to PD100W charging.
