Product Information

If this kind of teleportation magic sounds like something your home setup needs, here’s a guide to finding the right KVM switch for you. KVMs are venerable tech, but once you start shopping, you'll see a fair bit of nuance around them. We're here to help. 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. The OME-MH21 provides control to a display through IP, RS-232, IR, or CEC*, without the need for a separate control system. This simplifies system design and integration while reducing costs. With automatic display control, the OME-MH21 can trigger a display to power on automatically whenever a laptop or other device is connected. At the end of the presentation, when the presenter disconnects the laptop, the OME-MH21 forces the display to power off. Ease of presenter interaction with the system, and the savings incurred by automatic display shutdown provide a significant return on investment. The OME-MH21 display control capability can also be triggered by an external control system.

Sabrent 2-port KVM switch offers you a lot in a very narrow price range. The device can provide 4K video at 60Hz and has two USB-C inputs for host computers. In addition to that, it has two USB-C ports with power pass-thru to charge your laptops/gadgets with up to 60W Power Delivery. The switch does a beautiful job of using up all of the sweet power and data transfer capabilities of the USB-C port. Switching might take longer than most KVM switches, probably because of low power consumption. Ports

Automatically changes display power state based on active or standby mode of the switcher. Control signals to display are transmitted via IP, RS-232, IR, or CEC. The Vowish USB-C KVM switch is among the few devices supporting 8K@60Hz video. It can host two computers and has two additional USB-C power pass-thru ports that support 100W Power Delivery per host, making it a hard-to-resist deal. If you're looking for a four-PC-capable KVM switch and choosing between this one and the Tcnewcl, the biggest difference is that this one has four USB ports for peripherals instead of the Tcnewcl's three. That's a lot of additional value for only a few extra dollars. The device supports two hosts via the USB-C ports, providing a combined Power Delivery of 135W. While the active host receives 90W, the inactive host receives 45W Power Delivery. StarTech.com uses a 180W external power adapter to support this, which connects to a DC pin next to the Power Switch. KVM switches with only a few PC connections usually do not have a dedicated power supply; they take power from the monitor’s power supply or through the USB bus. Bigger or higher-rated KVM switches usually have dedicated power supplies, especially if they can charge connecting devices. The absence of a dedicated power supply seems attractive, but we only recommend smaller KVM devices, like the ones switching between two or three computers.

The device is compatible with all leading operating systems, allowing you to use any computer. Moreover, TESmart includes a wireless IR remote, enabling you to toggle between host computers conveniently. You can switch sources with mouse gestures, keyboard hotkeys, or the front panel button. Ports There are many different reasons why you would want a USB switch. Now the question is what should you look for while shopping for one? What should I look for in a USB switch?

AT-OME-MH21

This KVM from IOGear has the same core features as the previous one: wired remote, two USB ports, and permanently attached input cables. Beyond that, the standout feature is superior video and sound quality, hence the higher price. For video, it provides support for up to 4,096 by 2,160 at 60Hz, whereas the previous IOGear KVM supports 1,920 by 1,080 at 60Hz. Anyway I have a pair of the XReal Air Glasses with the adapter that lets the power work while using the glasses. This is great but I can't seem to use that adapter anywhere but directly into the Ally. Lastly, the switch is compatible with all operating systems and Apple devices using the M1 and M2 processors, making this the most versatile KVM switch. Ports

Are you buying the switch for your home setup or an office? What kind of work do you do on your computers? Are you a gamer? How far will the KVM switch be from your computer and peripherals? It would be best if you considered all these factors before you buy.Installation guide, surface mounting hardware, 2 meter (6.5 foot) USB-C male-to-male cable (USB 3.2 Gen 1), and external universal power supply The TESmart USB-C KVM switch is an externally powered device. Despite that, it has an additional USB-C port for power pass-thru to enable Power Delivery to the host computer. While it adds to the wire clutter, it also gives you flexibility if you use the switch to connect desktop computers. If you have to use multiple computers simultaneously, you will need to deal with various keyboards and mice. Further, you will need to install as many monitors as computers.

The VT4950 uses a 230W external power adapter to power up the device and provide Power Delivery to both host computers. Combined with an impressive selection of sharable ports that include two USB-A 10Gbps ports, the VT4950 is a bulky device that will need considerable space at your workstation. Ports In conclusion, the US3342 with its compact and all-in-one design is an ideal solution for users that seeks to save desk space and keep the desk well-organized in an efficient manner.You can connect four different computers to four different devices. On top of that, it works with Mac, Windows, and Linux computers. While not as robust as the previous entry, it still covers the main systems. And the final entry for the best USB switchers has to go to StarTech’s USB 3.0 Peripheral Sharing Switch. When it comes to a pure USB switch, this is one of the best. Be aware it’s not a KVM switch so it doesn’t work with video games, TVs, or the like. This two-PC-capable KVM switch uses HDMI for the connection to the primary monitor's input, as well as to the outputs from your connected systems. (Credit: Kyle Cobian)
