Product Information

The switch is supplied with a USB Type A to DC cable for power which can be attached to a second USB port or to a power supply. Yes and no. Technically you can use a USB-C KVM switch with your gaming monitor. But most gaming setups (GPUs and Gaming Monitors) are geared for a very high refresh rate. A USB-C KVM switch will deliver a 60Hz refresh rate at best; this can be a problem. Do I need to install device drivers for a KVM switch? The IOGEAR GUS4C2 is among the most compact switches on the market. Hence, it does not occupy much space at your desk or in your laptop bag. In fact, it is ideal for users who are constantly on the go. Our Take USB-C input connectivity for 4K Video, Audio, Data, and Power (Video, Audio, Data and Power over a single USB-C connection)

According to the manufacturer’s claims, you can use this KVM switch for a triple monitor setup using the two DisplayLink DisplayPort and HDMI (Alt Mode) ports. But take that with a grain of salt, as there are several reported issues about this. As best practice for host switching, Acroname recommends that before you switch mux channels, that you first disable the Common Port so the host sees a “break before make” connection: The dual 100W Power Delivery allows you to simultaneously work on (and charge) two heavy-duty laptops. The introduction of USB-C ports did away with all of this. Not only did it reduce the number of wires, but it also reduced the size of the switch. Thus, making it compact and manageable. Today, the best USB-C KVM switches are about the size of your internet router. It is probably the only KVM switch on the market that does not offer an HDMI port. Nonetheless, the device supports 4K@60Hz video output via a DisplayPort. So, the device is perfect if you have a monitor that offers only a DisplayPort.

A KVM switch achieves this by connecting one keyboard, one monitor, and one mouse to multiple computers. By using this device, you can save considerable time and effort. Thus, you can significantly improve your productivity and get better results for your efforts. The first step to finding the right KVM switch is taking inventory of what you'll use it with: specifically, the number of computers, monitors, and additional peripherals, such as a keyboard and mouse. You may also want to hook up a direct-connected printer, webcam, speakers, or external microphone (for all the streamers and podcasters out there).Most mainstream KVM switches support between two to four computers, one to three monitors, and two to four peripherals. This device from IOGEAR is also slightly different from other KVM Switches. Most KVM switches provide a dedicated video output port. The GUS4C2 allows you to use your device’s screen and connect only the input devices via the switch. Most of us begrudgingly accept that switching between or among several computers requires some amount of cable swapping, moving devices around, or other general awkwardness. But with a KVM switch (the KVM short for “keyboard, video, mouse”), you can leave those bothers behind and save time, space, and money. Not to mention, a whole lot of hassle.

The Lindy 2 Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type C Bi-Directional Switch, allows up to 2 users to share a USB type C peripheral without the need to repeatedly swap cables or set up complicated network sharing software. The active computer port can be selected by push button. Alternatively the switch provides access to two devices from a single laptop, tablet or mobile phone, the active device is then selected by the push button. The switch is ideal for sharing a USB device between two computers in a small office environment or for accessing two devices from one computer. The support of DisplayPort Alternate mode via the USB Type C ports also allows the connection of displays for video transfer at resolutions up to 4K 60Hz. A cluttered desk leads to a cluttered mind, which leads to procrastination and low productivity. One cannot over-emphasize this statement in the context of working on computers, more specifically, working on multiple computers. The GUS4C2 allows you to connect two computers via the USB-C interface. And, unlike the KVM switch from Sabrent, it comes with an external power source. This enables it to provide 85W Power Delivery on one USB-C port. ATEN US3342 is a 2-port USB 3.2 Gen 2 peripheral sharing device that allows users to share data between four USB devices in two different USB-C enabled laptops. The US3342 is USB 3.2 Gen 2 compliant, which can support data transfer rate up to 10Gps, and also compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 2.0 and USB1.1.

Generally, the KVM switch comes with a minimum of two inputs. This is fine for home or office use, where you may have a desktop PC and a laptop you want to use simultaneously. But some professions, especially IT Networking, may require you to handle or configure multiple computers. Hence, you need to pay attention to the number of inputs your KVM switch supports. This device is a super compact yet fully functional KVM switch. It offers all the essential features of a KVM switch and is perfect for users looking for a portable solution. The USB-C-Switch enable selecting 1 of 4 devices to connect to a host or 1 of 4 hosts to connect to a device with up to a USB 20Gbps connection. It is software programmable with four bi-directional channels selectively connecting to one bi-direction channel. Used by companies worldwide to help automate validation and manufacturing testing of USB devices and hosts. USB-C-Switch supports: Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto, USB-PD and other modes. Built inside a rugged steel housing and designed to withstand strong electrostatic discharges (ESD) of up to ±15kV. The switch has one HDMI port and supports 4K@60Hz video. Further, each input port has an EDID emulator that informs the host about the display settings, allowing it to tweak the video signals to give you ideal picture quality.
