1.4 Display Port KVM Switch - Dual Monitor - Four Computer
This KVM switch will let you TWO(2) monitors plus other USB peripherals between up to FOUR(4) computers.
How our KVMs are different:
Most of the time KVM switches are meant to work with servers, and basic mice and keyboards.
Our KVMs:
works with USB 3.0 (USB 3 5gbps, or USB 3.2 gen 1) peripherals as well as USB 2.0 HID devices.
works with high-end RGB gaming keyboards like keyboards from Corsair*, Cougar and more.
tested with keyboards that have built-in USB hubs as well as USB pass-through.
*See the ‘Additional Info’ section for extra details regarding the use of Corsair keyboards.
Features:
Full DisplayPort switching capabilities:
Two DP 1.4 connection from each computer (up to 4k/120hz or 8k/30hz).
Lower resolutions + Higher frame rates possible e.g. 144hz @ 1440p work just fine because of full DP 1.4 compatibility. (Overclocking not supported)
DisplayStream Compression Supported
Intelligent EDID Engine for HDCP Re keying (computers know when the port is inactive. Check out the Level1Techs repeater if you need monitor emulation).
HDCP Passthrough Supported (maintains HDCP signal integrity)
Intelligent USB HID pass-through (includes work-around for known problematic devices)
Choice of AU, EU, UK, & US power adapters
Rear:
Inputs:
1x 3.5mm per PC (may need a ground loop isolator)
8x DisplayPort 1.4
4x USB-B 3.0
Outputs:
2x DisplayPort 1.4 connection
3x USB-HID
1x USB 3.0 (USB 3 5gbps, or USB 3.2 gen 1)

Front:
Push buttons for switching to each of the 4 Inputs
1x USB 2.0 HID port
1x USB 3.0 (USB 3 5gbps, or USB 3.2 gen 1) ports (up to 1A current)
Dimensions: 8.75”w x 5.25”d x 2.5”h (22.2 x 13.3 x 6.4 cm)
Warranty: One year free parts and labor service warranty.
Rack Mount Kit: Compatible with our Level One rack mount kit.

Important Usage Information: No cables are included. Purchase here: Display Port 1.4 200cm Cable
Please only use DP cables that carry the ground but not voltage (19 pin) & are no longer than four (4) meters.
This KVM DOES support using the Club3d DP 1.4 -> 3x DP1.2 MST hub on the console output port. [Other MST hubs are not recommended]
While we don’t recommend USB switching with mass storage devices, it is possible. It will also let you share peripherals like scanners and printers through USB (note: Maximum 1A power through USB connections).
There is a known issue with 2013 Mac Pros. The DP signal coming out of those is not remotely compliant with DP standards. It is possible to inline some EDID-aware DP repeaters to solve that issue.
There are a couple laptops/docks that are similarly deficient but using shorter DP cables (< 2m) seemed to resolve that. A Level1Techs repeater (DP 1.2) can also alleviate this issues. DisplayPort Repeater & HDMI Splitter
Corsair keyboards are currently unable to use KVM or KM hotkeys when plugged into HID ports.*
Why Our KVM Switches Don’t Include an Ethernet Port
We often get asked why our KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switches don’t come with an Ethernet port. It’s a great question — and the answer has everything to do with keeping your network stable and your devices protected.
Our KVM switches are designed to cleanly switch control of your keyboard, video, and mouse — but networking is a different story. If we were to add an Ethernet port and try to switch it between devices, we’d essentially be reinventing something that already exists: a network switch.
Network switches are made to manage multiple devices on a shared network reliably and simultaneously. They handle traffic differently and are designed for constant connectivity — not for quick, manual switching like a KVM. Combining these two roles could lead to unnecessary complexity and reliability issues.
In short, we believe in using the right tool for the job. That’s why we leave networking to the dedicated Ethernet switches — and focus on building rock-solid KVMs that do their job well.
