You've got two or four machines on your desk and you're reaching around a tangle of cables every time you want to switch. That's the problem this kills.
The ATEN CS1942DP is a desktop KVM switch that lets you drive up to four computers from one USB keyboard, one mouse, and two DisplayPort monitors. You flip the front-panel selector and you're on the next machine. No software. No drivers. No waiting.
It handles 4K at 60 Hz (3840 x 2160 or 4096 x 2160) across both displays, passes DisplayPort audio, and the built-in USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub pushes data at up to 5 Gbps. Cables are in the box. Plug in, select, go.
Built for people who multitask across systems — design suites, trading desks, video post-production bays — where you need instant switching without losing your place.
One thing to know: if you're running an Extended Desktop setup, switching KVM ports can cause open windows to snap back to the main display. That's how the DisplayPort protocol works, not a fault in the unit. You'll just need to nudge windows back into position.
