7 / 10 Expert Rating

An affordable way to add isolated switching to a 4-port DVI desk without paying for certification or multiviewer features.

Level1Techs USB-C KVM Switch v3

6 / 10 Expert Rating

At 395 dollars this is the most expensive switch in its class and it drives one monitor, has no EDID emulation, no Ethernet and 60W of Power Delivery per port.
