About this deal

It doesn’t matter what you’re buying; the first question should always be why. You need to know precisely your requirements before you wander into a store, or all the tech will fog your judgment, and you’ll waste your money. Like the IOGear Access Pro 2, the GCS1602CC is a compact KVM switch that offers considerable utility while retaining an insignificant footprint. Thus, it requires very little space at your workstation, and its form factor makes it convenient to carry wherever work takes you. The switch comes with a wired remote to toggle between inputs. Alternately, you can use the button on the top panel to switch between inputs. There is no provision for auto-scan or hotkey switching that offer a convenient switching mechanism.

The highest specification one I have found I linked, which support USB 3.1 Gen 2 i.e. 10Gbps throughput. But is not suitable for my use case with the bandwidth I need. A worthy upgrade, this KVM switch from IOGear offers 4K@60Hz video and has 100W Power Delivery, compared to 4K@30Hz and 75W of the Access Pro 2 from IOGear.

The WORST Trend In Gaming

The closest product I have been able to find on the market is: http://www.cabledeconn.com/CableDeconn-USB-C-Type-C-8K-Switch-USB-31-C-Gen-2-Cable-for-Video-Bi-Direction-8K30Hz-4K120Hz-Power-Delivery-100w-10Gbps-Data-Transfer-Splitter-Converter-A0206_show55.html

Our testing gear comprised a Viotek GNV27DB curved gaming monitor, two Windows 10-based desktop mini-PCs we recently reviewed (the Geekom IT8, and the Beelink GK Mini), and a standard wired gaming keyboard and mouse from Logitech. In turn, we set up each KVM device and switched between or among PCs 10 times, using a stopwatch to measure the switchover time and then averaging the results. To test the audio and video quality, we played a 4K HD movie (our old testing stalwart, Tears of Steel) on each PC through each KVM switch in turn to our Viotek monitor. We also watched the same video with the PCs direct-connected to the monitor to see if any perceptible difference. Presently, most USB-C KVM switches offer you a USB-C to HDMI 2.0 connection. Hence, the best video resolution you can get is 8K@30Hz. Alternatively, you can choose to have a 4K@60Hz specification for a dual-monitor setup. Can I connect additional peripheral devices other than a keyboard or mouse? If you're looking for a four-PC-capable KVM switch and choosing between this one and the Tcnewcl, the biggest difference is that this one has four USB ports for peripherals instead of the Tcnewcl's three. That's a lot of additional value for only a few extra dollars. The device supports 4K@60Hz video via the HDMI 2.0 port. You can connect two computers using the USB-C ports on the front panel. To switch between displays, you need to use the toggle button on the device’s top panel. Be warned that the device does not come with any remote. A switching mechanism refers to the method you use to switch between inputs. All KVM switches offer a button to toggle between inputs. The better KVM devices come with a wired or wireless remote that allows you to select the source.When you need a professional-grade KVM switch to connect multiple computers, the TESmart KVM switch is a perfect choice. It offers three inputs and provides wide compatibility with all leading operating systems. Many low-budget KVM switches have audio out, which you can connect to speakers or headphones. But the sound quality will be better if you go for costly devices. Cable length
