Good, but has some hiccups

By Chris
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2026-03-18

Working with the monitors is no problem, but I have an issue with the switch work with my DasKeyboard keyboard. There is a serious lag when connected to my Apple Powerbook. I have changed to a USB 3.0 to thunderbolt cable, and that didn't seem to fix it. Very unfortunate.

Great Product

Would I be able to use this KVM switch to have audio playing out my studio monitors? I use the scarlett 2i2 interface to connect to a pc via USB. Would it be possible to connect both PC towers to the KVM switch and use the same Scarlett USB audio interface to switch playback for the studio (audio) monitors from each pc tower?
Asked by: Kevin
While the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2x2 USB Audio Interface could be connected to multiple PCs using the IOGEAR 2-Port 4K Dual View DisplayPort KVMP Switch with USB 3.0 Hub and Audio, it would not be able to serve as an audio source for two separate software programs running on two PCs at the same time. It could be used with software on one PC and then, if that software is closed or the Scarlett is disconnected from it, could be used again with another software on a separate PC.
