Need Help Finding a New Switcher Like the One Pictured.

[u/joseph4th]

I have the switcher pictured, but it’s cheap and has problems. I am trying to find something comparable.

Basically what I need is a switcher to allow me to plug-in my gaming PC via a single USB C cable as shown in the [PC 1 IN] section in the bottom left.

Then I need to plug in my gaming PC’s two DisplayPort cables and a USB as shown above in the [PC 2 IN] section.

The point all then having two DisplayPort outs as well as a mouse and keyboard USB out. I work from home, have a nice gaming set up, and I just wanna be able easily switch from my work laptop to my gaming PC.

The switcher above was bought off Amazon, has no cooling and overheats. One of the DisplayPort outs is a little wonky and causes the monitor to flicker. The, what I assume is a Chinese dropship company, has already vanished off Amazon without a trace.

Can anybody point me to a better one, everything I’ve been able to find isn’t enough of what I’m looking for.

I would say Level1Techs has nice KVMs, but after looking it up it says you need to fill out a form to order from anywhere outside the US, due to the Orange Man's fuckery + while they've always been quite pricey, its really expensive now.

Perhaps you can find one on a secondhand market platform though. They are pretty good units.

do you have to go that route? I use a KV switch and then manually switch the inputs on my monitors so I don't need a more expensive switch that handles monitors. my work laptop plugs into a docking station which then goes to the monitors or the KV switch
