Cable Matters Launches New USB C KVM Switch for Dual Laptop Setups

Cable Matters has announced a new USB C KVM Switch designed to make managing two computers from a single workstation easier and more convenient. The new device is aimed at professionals, content creators, IT users, and anyone who regularly works with multiple computers.

The Cable Matters USB C KVM Switch allows users to connect two USB-C or Thunderbolt-enabled computers and share a single monitor, keyboard, mouse, and USB accessories. This helps reduce desk clutter while making it simple to move between systems without reconnecting devices.

One of the most useful features of the new KVM switch is its flexible 4-way switching support. Users can change between connected computers using a front-panel button, the included RF remote control, keyboard hotkeys, or mouse gestures. The hotkey and mouse gesture options are available for Windows and macOS users, providing a faster and smoother workflow.

The new switch also goes beyond standard KVM functionality by offering simultaneous charging for both connected laptops. Using the included 180W power adapter, the device can deliver up to 100W charging to a single laptop or up to 85W charging to each laptop when two systems are connected at the same time.

For display support, the Cable Matters USB-C KVM Switch can output up to 4K resolution at 60Hz through HDMI, making it suitable for office work, creative tasks, and everyday productivity.

The device includes a range of USB ports for connecting modern accessories. Users get two USB-A and two USB-C ports with speeds up to 10Gbps, making it easy to connect external SSDs, webcams, capture devices, and other high-speed peripherals. There are also two dedicated USB-A 2.0 ports for keyboards, mice, and printers.

With support for dual laptop charging, flexible switching options, and high-speed connectivity, the new Cable Matters USB C KVM Switch offers a practical solution for users looking to simplify their workspace and improve productivity.
