Four machines. One keyboard. One mouse. Two monitors. You shouldn't need a cable-management degree to get through a trading session or a render queue.
The ATEN CS1944DP sits on your desk and does one thing properly: switches between up to four computers through a single USB keyboard, USB mouse, and two DisplayPort monitors. Front-panel buttons. No software install. No driver drama.
Video runs at 4K (up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz) across both displays. The built-in USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub handles data transfer at 5 Gbps, so file drops and peripheral connections keep up with the workload.
Cables are in the box. Plug in, select your machine on the front panel, get back to work.
One heads-up: if you're running an Extended Desktop setup, switching ports can reset open windows back to the main display. That's a DisplayPort protocol behaviour, not a fault. You'll just need to nudge your layout back.
Built for design suites, trading floors, and post-production bays where multitasking is the job
