Hello all, I’m looking for a switch/kvm for my home setup. ive been through a few tries and none of them have worked for one reason or another.
I have two machines,
A windows 11 work laptop
- USB-C out, both USB and display port.
- HDMI out
- USB 2.0 out
A Ubuntu based personal server
- Displayport out
- USB-C out (no Displayport)
For displays, I have a single double wide 4k monitor
Additionally I have a USB-C hub all my peripherals are connected to.

I have this level1techs KVM which can drive my 5120x1440 @ 120hz monitor (without DSC) AND my 3840x2160 @ 240hz monitor (also without DSC). It’s $450, but Wendell and level1techs are great and it’s well worth the price.

This!! Wendell is the best! He actually started designing his own KVMs because the ones on the market didn’t have all the functionalities/support.

All decent DP KVMs are very expensive. I got an IOGEAR which is a rebranded Aten. It was also in the same price range. Who knew high resolution needs high bandwidth and high bandwidth signaling and switching is hard…

He has cheaper ones too, so check around the shop and find one that fits your requirements.
