Manufacturer description

The Unitek KVM Switch lets you run two DisplayPort computers from one keyboard, mouse, and pair of monitors, switching between them with a front-panel button or the included wired remote. What sets this dual monitor KVM apart is its single-cable display path: each computer outputs to both monitors over one DisplayPort connection using MST, so you cut your desk cabling roughly in half compared with traditional dual-DP switches. Both screens run at 4K 60Hz, with backward compatibility down to 2K and 1080p, so a mixed-resolution setup still works. USB peripheral sharing covers 1 USB-C and 3…

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this KVM switch with my laptop?

No. Unitek states explicitly that this model is not compatible with laptops, because the only video interface on the unit is DisplayPort. Both connected computers must have native DisplayPort outputs.

How does one DisplayPort cable run two monitors?

Each computer sends a single DisplayPort output to the switch, which uses MST (Multi-Stream Transport) to split it across two monitors in extend or mirror mode. That is what removes the second cable per PC.

Does it really do 4K 60Hz on both screens?

Yes, the switch supports 4K at 60Hz and is backward compatible with 2K and 1080p, so you can mix resolutions across the two connected displays.

Will this work with a Mac?

It works with macOS, Windows, and Linux as a KVM, but macOS does not support MST. On a Mac you get one expanded display rather than two independent screens.

What USB devices can I share between the two computers?

There are 1 USB-C and 3 USB-A 3.0 ports rated up to 5Gbps, supporting keyboards, mice, external storage, printers, webcams, and USB audio devices. No drivers or software are required.
