We have made a further upgrade on the basis of the second-generation KVM that was originally leading the market.
This time, we have added a type-C port, from the original 4 HDMI inputs to 3 HDMI inputs and 1 type-C input.
So that your laptop can be connected to our KVM without expansion dock, making switching more convenient.
In this way, your laptop can get rid of type-C adapter cables, adapters or expensive expansion docks, and can be connected to our KVM through type-C cables, and you can enjoy the fun of switching more easily between work laptops and entertainment desktops.
Dedicated mouse & keyboard ports have emulation programming. Second gen chipsets have "Pass-through Mode" to send special characters such as multimedia keys (play, pause, volume up/down), which improves keyboard compatibility.
Keyboard software such as Logitech Options, Corsair iCUE, etc conflicts with the emulation and limits the ability to use macro keys. We recommend using the KVM's USB2.0 port as a workaround if needed. USB2.0 port does not have emulation programming and KVM will not recognize hotkey commands. Please use a powered USB hub to expand USB connectivity.
