IOGEAR GCS82DPC 2-Port 4K Hybrid KVM Switch with DisplayPort, USB-C and Audio Review

The GCS82DPC is a hybrid 2-port KVM switch pairing one DisplayPort computer with one USB-C computer, aimed at mixed desktop/laptop setups that don't share a common video connector.

It solves a specific problem: a DisplayPort desktop and a USB-C laptop sharing one monitor, keyboard, and mouse without needing matching video outputs on both machines. 4K/60Hz support and a 3.5mm audio/mic pass-through round it out, and the bus-powered design means no separate power brick in most setups. It's a narrower use case than a same-connector switch, but exactly the right tool when your two computers don't otherwise match.

Mixed-Connector Convenience

One DisplayPort input and one USB-C input let a desktop and a USB-C laptop share a single 4K monitor without adapters or dongles.

Bus-Powered, Compact

No always-on power adapter in typical setups, and a small footprint that sits under a monitor or on a desk edge.
