Desktop KVM Switch Selector

Compare models and choose the right option for you.

Desktop KVM switches are compact devices that allow a user to access two, four, eight, or 16 computers from a single user console eliminating the need for extra peripherals, while providing faster access to critical applications.

Choose a KVM switch that suits your application with DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, or VGA video. Do you work with a multi monitor setup? There are KVM Switch options support two, three, or even four monitors. Or select a Multiviewer that displays up to four sources on a single screen. KVM Switch models include peripheral access for USB or PS/2 keyboard and mouse, as well as a mix of USB 3/2/1 devices, audio and serial data for control through a touchscreen or other RS-232 devices.

Please click on the arrows in the table header to filter for your requirements.
