LINDY 2 Port USB KM Switch

Product Information

It is required to upgrade the CS724KM firmware and Driver AP software for Boundless Switching Focus to work. Please refer to the user manual for software and firmware versions. True Transparent USB emulation technology allows the KM Switch to recognise specific keyboard & mouse models and allows access to all of their functions giving the KM Switch near universal compatibility. Each here works with one monitor (see below for some dual-monitor suggestions) and allows you to switch among two or four PCs using one set of peripherals. They all use HDMI cables (instead of VGA or DisplayPort, although you can definitely find KVM switches that use those). Most newer computers and monitors connect via HDMI for superior sound and image quality. For the least hassle, you'll want to choose a KVM that works natively with the video outputs of all connected PCs (assuming they all support one in common!) to avoid having to deal with clumsy adapters. The KM Switch can be used with standard wired keyboard & mouse, wireless devices may not be recognized.

Our testing gear comprised a Viotek GNV27DB curved gaming monitor, two Windows 10-based desktop mini-PCs we recently reviewed (the Geekom IT8, and the Beelink GK Mini), and a standard wired gaming keyboard and mouse from Logitech. In turn, we set up each KVM device and switched between or among PCs 10 times, using a stopwatch to measure the switchover time and then averaging the results. To test the audio and video quality, we played a 4K HD movie (our old testing stalwart, Tears of Steel) on each PC through each KVM switch in turn to our Viotek monitor. We also watched the same video with the PCs direct-connected to the monitor to see if any perceptible difference. Anti-tampering and secure labeling: Holographic tamper-evident product label provides visual indication and prevention of tampering The first step to finding the right KVM switch is taking inventory of what you'll use it with: specifically, the number of computers, monitors, and additional peripherals, such as a keyboard and mouse. You may also want to hook up a direct-connected printer, webcam, speakers, or external microphone (for all the streamers and podcasters out there).Most mainstream KVM switches support between two to four computers, one to three monitors, and two to four peripherals.

A KM switch is a device that switches a single keyboard and mouse between multiple computers. It is essentially a KVM switch without the video switching. With a KM switch, all displays are continuously connected to their respective computers so that all connected devices can be managed seamlessly, in real time. Simple to set-up and compatible with a wide range of Lindy USB Extenders the KM switch is ideal for education and business environments or for helping make the most of IT equipment in the home. Please Note:The included software for auto switching via mouse requires Windows display scaling at 100%

Accessories facilitate easy installation

Also, this model has a wireless remote compared to the Tcnewcl's wired remote, meaning more flexibility and one less cable to fuss with. Your desk could be completely de-cluttered (KVM out of sight, out of mind) with only the wireless remote in view. Given the price, the remote, the number of supported PCs, and the number of peripheral USB ports, this is the highest-instrinic-value KVM we tested. The KM Switch can be managed with hotkey switching under every OS without any restrictions while a unique software provides simple switching between computers by sweeping a mouse across screens under Windows and Mac OS.

The CS724KM also provides an intuitive GUI-based configuration utility that allows users to customize their mouse cursor movement paths according to the specific monitor layout at the desktop or workstation. The configuration tool is easy to set up and compatible with Windows operating systems. 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.
