Comment on Recommend a KVM or Switch
turtle@lemm.ee 1 week ago
I picked up one of these ugreen displayport KVMs a couple months ago and so far have been happy with it:
The only issue I have had is that if I’m switched to computer B and computer A goes to sleep, I cannot wake it up through the switch. This was not a deal breaker for me because I have easy access to the power button of both computers. I wonder if this issue may be resolved by powering the switch with a USB-C power plug, since it otherwise requires USB power from both computer connections.

Awesome :) does the input support display port over usb-c or will i need an hdmi to displayport adapter for the windows laptop?

I’m using this as well and came in to recommend it. One machine is thunderbolt to DP. One is DP to DP. Both Windows machines and both work well. I used this cable a.co/d/diTREUK however I’d look for a higher DP/thunderbolt revision now.

I don’t believe that the USB-C ports can take video input, so you would most likely need to use either and HDMI to DP or USB-C to DP adapter.
