Key specs at a glance

Streamlined dual system management

Operating two separate computers becomes effortless when you share a single display and peripheral set. You can easily transition between tasks without moving your hands away from your main keyboard and mouse. Because the unit integrates directly into your existing setup, you save valuable desktop space.

Flexible switching methods

Switching between active machines can be done in multiple ways depending on your desk setup. You can use keyboard hotkeys for fast transitions, or rely on the included remote push-button on its own cable. We find this remote button particularly useful when tucking the main switch body out of sight behind a monitor.

High definition visual output

Display clarity remains crisp thanks to robust video support reaching up to 1920×1200 resolution. This makes the switch ideal for graphic applications and detailed office work where screen sharpness matters. You get reliable signal transmission without sacrificing visual fidelity on your primary monitor.

Audio and peripheral integration

Independent audio connections allow you to share speakers and microphones across both connected systems seamlessly. Audio signals route alongside your video feed so you hear alerts and media from whichever machine is currently active.
