Can someone recommend a KVM that works? I've been looking for a couple of years now.
Requirements:
- 2-port, 1-monitor, DisplayPort 1.4 KVM
- Has a wired push button switch (and cable can be extended if needed)
- Runs at 3840x2160 @ 120 Hz (or 60 Hz)
- Works with HP docking station (HP USB-C Dock G5 for business)
- Works with Classic 101 Black Buckling Spring USB keyboard
- Works with Logitech TrackMan Marble Trackball
- Works with HP laptop and custom desktop build (NVIDIA T1000 GPU)
Anti-requirements:
- Does not intercept keystrokes (or can be disabled)
- Does not intercept mouse scrolling (or can be disabled)
- Does not randomly repeat keys
- Does not block certain keystrokes (e.g., ctrl+shift+t)
- Does not let Windows laptop go to sleep
- Does not require manually re-waking Windows laptop by pushing power button
- Does not require switching back-and-forth to re-establish connectivity to both computers
- Does not take more than 3 seconds to switch between computers
- Does not randomly blank the screen for 1 second
- Does not require unplugging and re-plugging the USB keyboard
Here's the setup showing both computers and the push button switch:
I have tried:
- IOGEAR GCS62DP (almost perfect; kills keyboard after 60 swaps; RMA'd)
- DiamondTiger KVM Switch EDID 8K@60Hz, 4K@144Hz, DP 1.4 (repeats keys, blanks screen, has screen tearing, and many other issues)
- CanadaComputers iCAN HDMI USB KVM Switch 2x1 with Switch Extension 4K 60Hz (completely blocks certain keystrokes)
Wendell's Level1Techs Store offers a highly recommended KVM, yet lacks a wired toggle button.
What other KVM switches are available that "just work" and have a wired push button for switching?
The next KVM I'm thinking about trying:
ATEN also has a switch, which is on par with the IOGEAR (4K @ 60 Hz, no EDID):
