UGREEN Displayport KVM Switch 2 in 1 Out, 8K@60Hz, Aluminum, 4 USB3.0 Ports

I've tried several KVMs with my ultra wide monitor. None of them have worked correctly. I plugged this thing in and it's working perfectly. I'm getting full 3820x1200 @144Hz refresh rate HDR and full color! Also, there's no emulation so it doesn't create any latency. A few things to note - This is obviously a display port KVM. On most modern laptops you'll only have thunderbolt ports. This means you'll need to buy thunderbolt to display port cables for each laptop. You'll also need a 2 thunderbolt ports on each machine (one for the display cable and another for the data cable). 4 cables on the desk can create a cable cluster, so I spent a few bucks on some velcro straps to help keep it all organized. The unit itself is heavier than I expected, very well made, doesn't shift around when my standing desk is lifted up/down, and switches instantly between computers. It a great value for the money! Does the job at a fraction of the cost of a pure thunderbolt kvm setup. Even the cheapest pure thunderbolt setup will cost $300 with pricier units being sold at $700+. For that level of savings, I can deal with a little cable clutter.

Can confirm that this KVM works with the following setup: M1 Max MacBook Pro and Lenovo laptop both running usbc to dp 1.4 (ugreen) to the KVM. Mac is connected via an anker thunderbolt 4 cable to the KVM while the Lenovo is using the included usb a to c cable. Juicing it with 18w is sufficient it seems since I get picture and surprisingly, the usb a ports output enough power that my MX Master 3S detects a charge! KVM is connected using a standard DP 1.4 cable to the monitor. I didn’t use the included one because it’s way too short and too thick. The KVM is metal, is surprisingly small compared to my 4 in 1 out HDMI 2.1 switch but is comparable in weight. Looks and feels well made but only time will tell. My monitor is a Lenovo curved ultrawide with 3440 x 1440 pixels and both machines are able to hit the max 144hz via this KVM with DP 1.4 cables. The wired remote is a single button with no indicator so you have to look at the dock itself to see which device you have switched to. The indicator lights on the decide itself is very small and too close together which might be an issue for some. Very pleased with the product so far. Will update if anything else changes. Update: the KVM pulls around 0.027A from the outlet and I was not able to get it to pull anymore by loading up the USB ports with peripherals. It also seems to work just fine with it unplugged. The KVM does get its power from the connected laptops because if I dont connect it to the laptop via USB C, the KVM will not charge my mouse, even if I connect it to the outlet. Since my setup only needs it to drive a 3440 x 1440 @ 144hz monitor, I suspect that higher definition/ refresh rate might result in power draw from the outlet. The product can certainly do with more detailed documentation.

Please do not purchase this product. As other 1 star reviewers warned, the product works perfectly for the first few months but something eventually happens with the device (maybe failure to properly protect components against the heat it generates) causes it to degrade somehow over time. My screen is losing displayport connection on both my devices once every few hours and takes 5 seconds to reconnect. This sometimes happens in the middle of a video game, which just loses me the game many times. I verified it has nothing to do with my device/cable because I directly plugged the cable into my desktop without any disconnections for days.

This KVM switch supports display port based MST (daisy chaining) with Linux :), which was the key feature I was looking for. The included DP cables are three feet long and pretty stiff by construction. All of the items included in the package worked well. The only issue has been that the monitors do not always wake up when the laptop wakes up and I do not know if this issue is due to software, the laptop, the monitors, or the switch.

First Day of Use: This little guy is so far perfect for my setup! Extremely easy install for connecting my iMac and MacBook Pro to a LG Ultragear 38" monitor, along with an apple keyboard (wired via USB-C), a G502 gaming mouse, and a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet. Now I can use all my best/fav peripherals seamlessly between both computers. As a bonus, the LG monitor has a built-in USB hub, so I was able to plug that into the KVM switch via USB-A and have my desktop speakers plugged into the back of the monitor, and now I can play music from either computer thru the speakers via the switch/monitor hookup. I did go ahead and get a USB-C cable and wall plug to power the switch as it does not come with its own power cable, and some reviews mentioned that it didn't get enough juice from just the two computers to power it properly. I also had to get an extra USB-C to Displayport cable because the MacBook doesn't have a standard Displayport plug. In total I spent $90 for the switch and 2 extra cables, totally worth it and way less than a lot of KVM switches out there. I'm able to get full resolution at 144Hz on both machines with no issues (so far). As long as the switch continues to work as well as it has out of the box, this thing is a huge time and headache saver. No more multiple keyboards or mice, and no more unplugging/plugging cables!*

Overall, a great product with a minor caveat. The KVM switch can switch between my PC and iMac and supports all my peripherals (Keyboard, Mouse, Macropad, USB-C Speaker), allowing them to be shared between the two computers. The only issue I ran across was when switching from PC to iMac. The display would not recognize the KVM being connected. I had to unplug and replug the usb-c/display port cable from my Mac to regain a picture. Eventually, I solved this by connecting the iMac to a powered hub (the Ugreen Revodok Max, to be exact) and then connecting the hub to the KVM. Now the switch from PC to iMac works seamlessly. Despite a very minimal delay. Otherwise, switching from my iMac to PC is flawless. Just keep this in mind if you're an iMac user and don't want to reach behind your iMac to unplug and replug your cable for every switch back to iMac. Besides that, it's very responsive on both computers, and the video output on my display is exactly as advertised.

I "thought" that I was going to have to return this KVM, but once I used the provided cables (instead of my crappy old cables that were already in place) it works great! It turns out that the quality and length of your cables make a HUGE difference when you are trying to squeeze top performance out of a KVM. I have a single 4k monitor that I share between a work laptop and a personal desktop for gaming. I wanted to run the display for my desktop at 120Hz or faster. When I first connected everything up, I just used the existing Display Port cables I already had running from both the laptop and desktop, but I got this weird glitch where the monitor would periodically (at least once every 2-3 min) go completely black for 2-3 second, then recover. That's totally unacceptable for any sort of gaming. I tried all the refresh rates (all the way down to 60Hz) and the problem happened for both my work laptop and gaming desktop. I was just about ready to write a terrible review and return it, when I noticed the nice new DP cables peeking out of the packaging, with the little 4k/8k logos on them. So, I shut everything down and swapped my old dusty (and apparently low-end) cables with the ones that came with the KVM and Shazam! It works perfectly. I highly recommend it, but you really need to use the cables they provide if you want good performance. I would absolutely buy it again. It's been flawless for about 2 months for me.

Update: Not returning. Keeping. The USBC to displayport cable from laptop to device works. The USBC ports on device appear to be for powering the device and the USB ports for the keyboard mouse etc. The rear display port and USB-C outlined together on the KVM make it seem like it supports either for transferring display data. It does not. I wish they would be specific on how this operates. And furthermore the manual isn't that great for English either. It appears that each USB-C must be connected to each computer to power the switch for that computer and transferring data. It comes with some pretty nice cables for that. The display ports are the ONLY ports for transferring display data. So if your laptop only has HDMI, or USB-C display port this might not work. I tried an HDMI to display port cable, it did not work. Laptop would not recognize the KVM. Next I'm going to try a USB-C to display port cable. Laptop is a Dell latitude 5430. Monitor is the Samsung Odyssey G9 Lost a star also because when you click the button to change devices on the fly you get a weird flash of color static on the lower half of the screen.

Compact, takes less space, easy to use. One push and it switches from one pc to another. High resolution

二台のPCを1つのディスプレイで運用するために購入しました。設置も簡単でしたし、問題なく使えています！！

La calidad de construcción del KVM es muy buena, con buenos terminados. Es muy fácil de instalar, y el producto incluye todos los cables necesarios para realizar la conexión de dos computadoras a un mismo monitor con DisplayPort. Todos los cables son de buena calidad, aunque los DisplayPort pueden ser algo cortos (alrededor de 1m) si tus computadoras están lejos de tu monitor (algún standing desk con computadora de escritorio en el piso, por ejemplo). El cambio entre dispositivos funciona muy bien y es rápido. Muy contento con la compra, Ugreen no decepciona.

Brilliant, works exactly how it should, seamless transition between mac and pc with 4k ultrawide @ 60hz. Also have it hooked into my focusrite scarlett solo soundcard to switch between them. Solid build quality and cables seem good too! - Couldn't live without it now! recommend

Excellent KVM switch that works exactly as advertised. Switching between devices is quick and seamless, with no noticeable lag or signal loss. The display quality is sharp, and it handles high resolutions and refresh rates without any issues. The build quality feels solid, setup was straightforward, and it’s been completely reliable in daily use. Highly recommended for anyone needing an easy way to share a monitor and peripherals between two computers.
