Don't bother with those other KVM switches!
Excellent KVM switch! Works perfectly with the UGreen thunderbolt 4 dock and outputs to my 240hz monitor without any issues. Effortlessly switches between my gaming desktop and docked laptops. Works perfectly with my Macbook Pro. It did have an issue with my Lenovo X1 Carbon for like a week because Fedora Workstation pushed an update that caused screen flickering. But that has since been resolved and there has not been any issues what so ever. I also pass through mouse, keyboard, and audio and have not experienced any latency or stutters.UGreen continues to make affordable and quality gadgets!

Capable little KVM
Can confirm that this KVM works with the following setup: M1 Max MacBook Pro and Lenovo laptop both running usbc to dp 1.4 (ugreen) to the KVM. Mac is connected via an anker thunderbolt 4 cable to the KVM while the Lenovo is using the included usb a to c cable. Juicing it with 18w is sufficient it seems since I get picture and surprisingly, the usb a ports output enough power that my MX Master 3S detects a charge! KVM is connected using a standard DP 1.4 cable to the monitor. I didn’t use the included one because it’s way too short and too thick.The KVM is metal, is surprisingly small compared to my 4 in 1 out HDMI 2.1 switch but is comparable in weight. Looks and feels well made but only time will tell.My monitor is a Lenovo curved ultrawide with 3440 x 1440 pixels and both machines are able to hit the max 144hz via this KVM with DP 1.4 cables.The wired remote is a single button with no indicator so you have to look at the dock itself to see which device you have switched to. The indicator lights on the decide itself is very small and too close together which might be an issue for some.Very pleased with the product so far. Will update if anything else changes.Update: the KVM pulls around 0.027A from the outlet and I was not able to get it to pull anymore by loading up the USB ports with peripherals. It also seems to work just fine with it unplugged. The KVM does get its power from the connected laptops because if I dont connect it to the laptop via USB C, the KVM will not charge my mouse, even if I connect it to the outlet. Since my setup only needs it to drive a 3440 x 1440 @ 144hz monitor, I suspect that higher definition/ refresh rate might result in power draw from the outlet. The product can certainly do with more detailed documentation.

One of the good ones! A great value.
KVMs on the "value" end of the price spectrum can be notoriously bad, and fail over time. This one from UGREEN has been serving me well though. I have it switching between a Windows PC and a Mac Mini, and it does so flawlessly. I have had no problems getting the 60Hz refresh out of my monitor even at 4k resolution, with no flickering. Because I like to keep a tidy desk, I have placed this KVM in the far corner of my desk, which ordinarily would make it difficult to reach. But the remote control solves that. I have it positioned next to my keyboard for easy access. As far as shared peripherals, in addition to my mouse and keyboard (using a single Logitech Unifying USB dongle), I also have a webcam and SD card reader that are plugged in to the KVM, and they function flawlessly. Highly recommended!

Great when it was working.
This KVM works great when it was working. This KVM switch draws power via its USB C connections to the either host PC/laptop. This is good b/c you don't need to connect an external power supply to the switch. However, IMO, it probably was the same reason it started acting up just after a few months. The KVM switch all sudden seems starting losing power and drop the connection. It even switched back-and-forth between two ports at times until the power sources (USB C) were removed. I have contacted the manufacture to see if they could provide a warranty replacement. At the moment, I don't recommend this product.

Great KVM, but with some long term durability concerns.
I purchased this KVM switch to streamline my setup, allowing me to use two computers with dual monitors and several USB peripherals. Initially, the switch worked as expected, seamlessly enabling me to switch between machines while sharing the same keyboards, mice, and monitors. For anyone with a multi-computer setup, this KVM switch is a convenient, space-saving solution.However, after about seven months, I've noticed some issues that raise concerns about its durability. My primary computer has recently started to get stuck in a continuous VGA boot sequence whenever the KVM switch is connected, preventing it from booting up properly. Disconnecting the KVM is the only workaround I've found, which is inconvenient and defeats the purpose of having the switch.Additionally, my USB headset’s receiver has started producing crackling sounds when plugged into the KVM. Moving it directly to my motherboard’s I/O panel resolved the issue, indicating that the KVM's USB ports might be the cause. Windows has also begun to issue warnings about USB connectivity issues with the KVM, which is worrisome for long-term use.**Overall:** It’s a functional product, especially for those needing a streamlined setup, but I’m concerned about its longevity and reliability over time. If you’re looking for a durable KVM switch that you can rely on for years, you might want to consider other options.
