Switch control between computers using the selection method supported by the device (hardware button or keyboard hotkey if available). Verify display resolution settings on each connected computer to match the supported maximum resolution if required.

Recommendations

Place the KVM switch in a ventilated area and route cables to avoid sharp bends. Use quality HDMI and USB cables to maintain signal integrity at higher resolutions. When switching frequently between machines, allow a short delay for the operating systems to recognize the shared keyboard and mouse. For stable display output, set each computer’s video output to a resolution compatible with 2048 x 1536 @ 60 Hz.
