SABRENT KVM Switch, USB-C, 1 PC to 2-Displays with 60 Watt Power Delivery (USB-CKDH)

This product works as you would expect that it should, which I think is impressive given how many different ways display over USB-C ports can work. I can say with certainty (as in I just tested this) that it works between:- USB4 ports on a macbook pro- USB-C with DisplayPort Alternate mode on an HP Envy PC (AMD)- The USB-C port on a Radeon 6900XT GPU under LinuxAll of these systems were/are able to output 4K@144Hz to my monitor, with working USB and audio (took a minute to get USB working under linux but that was a linux issue).This is an expensive little box, but it works as a KVM while seeming to correctly support all of the connectivity features a TB4 dock is supposed to, with charging, and I genuinely can't find any other product that even claims to. Very pleasedMy power brick is cool to the touch, the device is warm but not super hot. I'm not yet charging a device from it, though my gut says it'd be fine as long as it's not stuffed under a blanket or something.[Update after several months of use]Still working as expected, which is great. As far as I know, this is still the only true USB4 KVM switch. I'm really only updating this to add some minor cons I've encountered, but I want to stress that I'm pretty pleased with this thing and I would buy it again if I needed one, even though it's still a bit expensive.- This will almost certainly exist as a fixed device on your desk, so it's a little annoying that the input ports are on the front while the monitor / USB4/TB outputs are on the back, along with the power. It makes cable management a bit awkward and no matter what the box will be a bit of a cable squid onyour desk.- It'd be nice if the switcher button was on the device, and the corded remote was unpluggable, but that's a personal gripe -- you can tell I'm picky about the cables on my desk :)- It continues to work flawlessly with my macbook, which is native usb4. However my desktop PC and work PC, which are both DisplayPort, sometimes I have an issue where the display will repeatedly go dark as if it's struggling to keep track of the signal. This is especially an issue with the laptop; really, I blame the computers for this and not the dock. I'm always able to solve this, if it doesn't solve itself, by re-seating the cable once. Easy.Other notes:- Having used it for several months now, mine never gets all that hot like others have reported. Definitely warms up but no more so than the bottom of your laptop might after extended use. macbook.

I desperately wanted to like this KVM switch. Everything about it functioned perfectly except for the connection between my Logitech unifying receiver and MX Keys / MX Master mouse. My use case is two Macbooks (M2 Pro and M1 Air). After "forgetting" both keyboard and mouse on the Air, I was able to add both devices via Logi+ software while the unifying receiver was plugged into one of the USB-A ports on the KVM. But the connection was super unstable. You could observe this right from the Logi+ app that shows the connection status of both devices. The connection would drop for up to a few seconds every 2-10 seconds. It was basically unusable. I confirmed that the dongle works without lag when plugged directly into either macbook. Further research shows that Logitech doesn't recommend using their unifying receiver in a USB hub. So I can't fault Sabrent for my use case not working. I'm bummed that other reviewers seem to have been able to accomplish this in similar scenarios but I wasn't.

Like many people, my work setup changed this year to working at home. This meant bringing my work laptop home and having to work there. I already had a nice desktop setup with a 4K 24" LG monitor, speakers hooked up to the monitor and nice mechanical keyboard and (cheap) gaming mouse. Also had various peripherals such as a webcam and USB microphone. For a while I was moving cables back and forth but that got old real quick.So the good news. This KVM works as advertised. The "bad" news, there were some quirks - but I am still giving a 5 star review because those quirks could have been due to my computer or my specific peripherals.My setup:4K 24" LG 24UD58-B monitorRed Dragon K556 RGB mechanical keyboardRed Dragon M601-3 gaming mouse (nothing fancy, but has glowing lights)1/8" 2.1 powered speaker setup, plugged into monitorHome built desktop w/ nVidia GTX 1060 & TB3 card (so I can embed video in USB-C cable)Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED (2019)It took a bit of configuration to get everything working - initially I had been using DisplayPort from my desktop to the monitor but I had to switch to HDMI - but nothing major. Just re-routing some wires and changing where things are plugged in.I have the keyboard plugged directly into the KVM and a hub plugged into the other KVM port. The hub then has the USB webcam and USB microphone. I originally had the mouse plugged in as well but it was having weird problems. It would occasionally freeze up until I unplugged it and plugged it back in. This is a "cheap" gaming mouse so it could be the mouse having issues, drawing too much power. Could be the computer having issues with a mouse connected through so many hub devices. Could be the KVM. Could be the hub itself. Not sure. For now I'm just plugging the mouse directly into the computer. Seeing as the keyboard, webcam and USB mic all work fine I'm assuming it is something unique to this mouse OR the combination of everything involved. If the KVM was at fault I would expect one of the other devices to also have issues.I can also confirm that this KVM works with 4K@60Hz over HDMI w/ audio. Initially, both desktop and laptop came up at 30Hz, but after I went into advanced settings on each and switched them to 60Hz they remembered that.Hot plugging works fantastic as does switching between inputs. Obviously it takes a few seconds for things to settle since as far as the computer is concerned you just unplugged or plugged in the cable. But everything comes up exactly like I would expect.I can't make any claims to the power delivery, though I would expect it works fine. My laptop does not support charging over USB-C so I couldn't really test that.It should also be noted that this is not a "smart" KVM - which is fantastic. And what I mean by that is the KVM doesn't emulate a keyboard/mouse to the computer, it directly passes it through. This has the downside that you can't do switching from the keyboard with hotkeys. But the upside is that your fancy keyboard and all it's media keys actually work.In my opinion, this device would be perfect if it provided 3 USB ports. 1 for Keyboard, 1 for Mouse and 1 for "other USB device (including hub)".
