Manufacturer description
The JideTech 2-Port USB 2.0 VGA KVM Switch lets you drive two computers from a single keyboard, mouse, and VGA monitor without repeatedly swapping cables. It carries VGA video at resolutions up to 2048x1536 with DDC support and automatic identification, so a CRT or a multisync LCD running above 1080p still gets a clean signal.

A built-in USB hub gives you spare ports for an external drive, printer, or scanner shared across both…
