CKL CKL-822UA-3 Review
CKL-822UA-3 2-port dual monitor VGA KVM switch, 2048x1536 resolution, USB 3.0 hub, hotkey and wired remote switching, audio and mic support.
The CKL-822UA-3 is a dual-monitor VGA KVM switch for two legacy computers or VGA devices, each needing two VGA outputs for extended or mirrored dual-monitor use, with a 2-port USB 3.0 hub and audio/mic passthrough.
Legacy VGA Dual-Monitor Switching
For offices and labs still running VGA-only hardware, this switch keeps a dual-monitor KVM setup alive without needing an HDMI or DisplayPort upgrade, at the cost of requiring two VGA cables per computer.
