Anker USB 3.0 HDMI KVM Switch, 5 USB 3.0 Ports, Supports 4K@60Hz, Magnetic Remote Button for One-Click Switch Between Laptop and Desktop, Works with Dell, MacBook, iPad, and More (Cables Included)

How the heck is this so affordable? I am using it with a Macbook for work and my personal desktop Mac Mini. It is working seamlessly. There is some delay when switching between the device but it works perfectly. I also confirmed it's supporting my ultrawide at 100hz. I wasn't sure what resolution supported what refresh rate so glad to see it's working as expected for the 1440p ultrawide. For the price, it also comes with the cables you would generally need for a laptop and desktop. There are USB C cables with one having USB A (probably for your "desktop). There is an HDMI cable to connect up to your display. There is also a separate smaller switch you can connect and set up to have a more hidden setup. I am using the USB C cable to connect my macbook to it and then using the USB A to USB C to connect to my Mac Mini. I would have liked to maybe see an additional USB C cable but at this price point it's really hard to complain. After that I just hooked up my keyboard, webcam, mouse etc to the USB ports and connected the HDMI to my monitor. There is a nice light that shows you what PC is currently selected and they are color coded. PC1 will show as blue and PC2 as orange. For whatever reason I was dreading getting one of these and having to worry about it not working or supporting the right resolution and being a pain to set up but this was a great purchase. Can't recommend it enough for the price. The only unknown is longevity but I feel like Anker makes great products for the price.

Not happy with this. I ordered this November 11th, 2025. Today, just over a month later, December 15th 2025, It randomly quit working. I was playing a game on my macbook air. I love my macbook but the 13 inch screen is a bit small for my ailing vision. Suddenly, my screen went black and the light on the monitor continually flashed. I undid the HDMI cable to see if perhaps the monitor or the cable was at fault. It did not work on my TV, so I swapped the cable with a known working one. Still nothing. So I decided to try using an HDMI dongle instead. Interestingly enough, it worked immediately. Not my cable, not my tv, not my macbook. The only culprit left is this switch. I have always loved anker products, but this is simply unacceptable. Not only did it not work with my macbook, I also have a linux box as a local hosted server. It would not work either when swapping between sources. The lights on the kvm and the remote are on, but it no longer outputs signal. Strongly recommend avoiding this one.

Good product WITH CAVEATS - virtually no manual, must download a poorly-explained 3-page guide - power delivery only to PC 1 - video delivery only to PC 1 - for video you must connect PC 2 via HDMI cable to this KVM switch (I just bought 12" HDMI cables for this) - has only one USBC-USBC cable, should have 2 or even 3 - make sure your USBC cables are video-rated! One of mine refused to carry video and I thought the KVM was bad, but when I switched to another cable it worked - check other reviews if you plan to use 4K, I did not test this The good: - switches reliably between two computers - indicator lights clearly show the selected computer as "PC 1" and "PC 2", clear and bright both on the KVM and on the remote control - remote control has a magnet in the bottom! - compact - 1080p looks great - September 2025 reduced price was a steal - worked fine with a 2020 MacBook Pro and with a 2025 HP Elite, no problem, no setup, no drivers The net is that for "PC2" I put a USBC hub with power delivery between the KVM and the computer. Not what you'd expect or want, but it's OK. NOTE THAT *ALL* KVMS CONCENTRATE A LOT OF CABLES, AND IT CAN BE HARD TO KEEP YOUR HEAD STRAIGHT. I've been setting these up for decades, since VGA and PS/2. Once they're set up, it's great, but it can be very difficult to get to that point. I just bought a half-dozen *short* USBC and HDMI cables to re-patch the two units I've got. DO NOT RUSH, YOU WON'T GET IT SET UP IN 20 MINUTES, maybe not in 90 minutes.

Just missed the price cut, but this is a neat little thing. I did have an issue where it wasn't picking up my wifed desktop bit seems to he resolved. You also need to give it a few moments to switch everything over. I also bought a cheap 100w adapter, and it charges her work laptop just fine. The remote switch works, and displaying 2560x1440p flawlessly. It actually came with heavy duty HDMI and USB cables. Enough for one laptop and one desktop. The issue I had with picking up the desktop, might have been a driver, or its an older 3770 CPU device. Not sure, a reboot fixed it. Overall great value, it acts like a full on docking station with an adapter for the laptop, supports 4 native shared USB devices. All I need now is a dual monitor one with 4k 144hz-240hz. ;-)

Alle Anschlüsse funktionieren, Produkt kam ohne Probleme an, habe es mit Desktop-PC und MacBook verbunden und funktioniert alles ohne Probleme.

Perfect for sharing keyboard, mouse and one screen between one modern laptop and desktop PC. Modern thin and light laptops can suffer from lack of USB connectivity and neither do you want to be plugging and unplugging a set of cables every time you place or remove the laptop. As long as laptop has USB C this is a great solution. Bit of cabling is required to get you started - plug the existing HDMI monitor , keyboard and mouse into the KVM switch. One USB C cable ( provided ) between the laptop and the Anker USB 3.0 HDMI switch is all that is required here to make use of keyboard, mouse and screen. HDMI and USB ( cables provided ) from the Desktop is connected to the KVM switch and can use the provided wired remote control switch to change between using the desktop and using the laptop. The Anker USB 3.0 KVM Switch provides additional connectivity, which I have not yet used, for sharing other USB devices, such as USB stick, or indeed Audio via 3.5mm jack.

Works as advertised... Takes in type C input(display+usb) from one device and HDMI+USB from second device. The type C also works as a pass through charger if the dock is plugged in externally to a power adaptor.

It does what it says. Some buyers didn't read the description properly. This is for one laptop + one desktop, only PC1 has the power delivery, and you will need to plug in the hdmi cable for PC2, which should be the desktop pc.

Great product. Works upto 120hz at 2k.
