![]() ![]() Most docking products are limited to 60Hz refresh rate, but competitive gaming requires 120Hz and beyond with very low input lag. In these cases, a KVM switch supporting high refresh rate video connections is required. The gaming market requires very different hardware compared to a conventional KVM switch. Are KVM switches great for gaming (in terms of refresh rates and latency/lag)? When operating in single host mode, like normal KVM switching, the software is not necessary. It’s very useful in situations where the end-user needs to work on two operating environments such as software coding or hybrid work desk used by thin client and laptop users. Users can then start typing without needing to switch like a conventional KVM device. ![]() When the dock is switched to dual host mode, it allows the control of either host machine by simply moving the mouse cursor to the desired host. Some KVM vendors have a companion software that can be optionally installed to facilitate the sharing of a keyboard and mouse over two connected host machines (Windows and Mac). Select the button again and the second computer is active. We press the button in the box to select which computer is active and the keyboard and mouse works with that. So what we see is a large monitor with 4 zones, each zone is a different computer. This is used to select which computer you want to control. There is a box with a button that comes out the back of the KVM switch. Your keyboard and mouse plug into the KVM switch. We can then plug 4x different computers into the monitor. So for example We have one large monitor that has 4x HDMI ports on the back. Simply press a button to go back and forth. Or if your monitor has more than one input port, like an HDMI and DisplayPort you can use 2 different computers on one screen. It can split one computer into several different screens that all use the same keyboard and mouse. It’s traditionally a switching device which allows users to control multiple host machines from a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse. ![]() KVM stands for keyboard, video, and mouse. ![]()
