Hello all, I’m looking for a switch/kvm for my home setup. ive been through a few tries and none of them have worked for one reason or another.

I have two machines,

A windows 11 work laptop

  • USB-C out, both USB and display port.
  • HDMI out
  • USB 2.0 out

A Ubuntu based personal server

  • Displayport out
  • USB-C out (no Displayport)

For displays, I have a single double wide 4k monitor

Additionally I have a USB-C hub all my peripherals are connected to.

    Anything that can do better than 1080p is insanely expensive or cheap and flakey. I gave up looking and just got a new monitor with a KVM built in.

    Most have one USB-C with 65w+ PD which includes the keyboard and mouse and then add 1-3 more slots that have HDMI and/or DisplatPort + USB-A for the keyboard and mouse.

    Keen to know what you’ve tried. Or if anyone has found something good that isn’t silly expensive or cheap and dodgy.
