Lindy 2 Port DisplayPort 1.2 USB 2.0 & Audio Cable KVM Switch (DisplayPort / 2 Computers / 4K@60Hz / ~£176) Review
If your two source machines are DisplayPort rather than HDMI, the Lindy 2 Port DisplayPort 1.2 USB 2.0 & Audio Cable KVM Switch (42344) is the direct DisplayPort counterpart to Lindy's HDMI cable switches.
Note this one uses HDCP 1.4 rather than 2.2, which is a step down from the equivalent HDMI cable switches - fine for regular desktop use, but worth knowing if you're routing protected 4K streaming content through it.
Video & Audio
It holds full 4:4:4 chroma at 4K60 over DisplayPort 1.2, with a pair of 3.5mm jacks handling stereo audio and microphone passthrough. Lindy notes software control and hotkey switching aren't currently compatible with macOS 10.15, worth checking if you're on an older Mac.
Build
Same plastic, bus-powered form factor as Lindy's other cable KVM switches at 97 x 25 x 82.18mm, with the DisplayPort and USB leads built directly into the unit.
