Hi everyone, first timer here. I heard that Level1 offers the best KVM switches around and was hoping to get a recommendation.
My setup is:
- Multiple MacBook Pros (not MAX) for work, ranging from M1 to M3, and an M4 on the way
- A personal Windows PC
- Monitor is ASUS XG49VQ 49" 144hz 3840x1080, though I’ve had considerations about switching to triple monitors with higher res in the next year or so
- 6 USB peripherals (keyboard, mouse, mic, camera, speakers, mousepad) with significant power draw (currently using 2 powered USB hubs for them)
I’m looking for a way to easily swap between my desktop and 1 MacBook Pro with the current setup, and would ideally like a KVM that is future-proof based on my upcoming monitor plans.
I’ve seen recommendations for USB-C KVM + USB-C Combiner or DisplayPort KVM + USB-C adapter in this forum, but I’ve also seen a listing in the store for a combo KVM which seems to eliminate the need for adapters/combiners. I’m also not 100% confident in the quality of the cables I’m using, so recommendations for top cables for this setup would be great as well!
Hoping some of the kind folks here would be able to help find the right product(s) for this setup!
