Personally I love the Level 1 KVMs but they only do DisplayPort now.

Still the KVM market is “all over the space” both in available configs and actual build quality too.
It would be extremely niche but an open source modular KVM is a dream of mine.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y ago$299 for a two PC, single monitor kvm? Expensive.
- kybernetyk 4y agoActually not - it's capable of 120hz @ 4k. Your typical chinesium $49 amazon KVM won't do that.

- pid-1 4y agoHoly shit, that's exactly what I was looking for last month... As a two screens user, could not find one that supported Display Ports. I'm hoping to chain it to a dock station so I can easily switch between a laptop and a desktop, using the same monitors/ peripherals.
