Scratch & Dent KVM Thread

Want a KVM, but need a discount?

At the Level1 office we have various KVMs that have cosmetic damage or have been discontinued.

There’s too many, and it changes too often to keep a running list, but just inquire about availability and I’ll see what deal I can cook up for you! Discounts will vary depending on age and level of cosmetic damage. I will test all of them though to ensure they work appropriately.

We have MANY older USBC power delivery KVMs. The new model is out now, so these are not being sold anymore. If you have hardware that might struggle with them I’ll lyk when you ask.

– If you inquire I will DM you :slight_smile:


Update:

We have a listing for B-Stock USB-C v2 KVMs:

Once they are sold out they’ll be gone. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Can I get it for free if I am old and ugly?

My dual monitor/dual PC has been acting up a little. Let me know if there are any deals for dual monitor and 2+ PCs. It would be nice to have an input for the random raspberry pi. Monitors are pleb tier 1080p and might be a mix of HDMI and DP.

What do you have on hand in the way of DisplayPort 1.4 KVMs? A 4-comptuer single monitor one would suffice for my current setup.

Getting a discounted one likely won’t make me feel as bad to upgrade a second time when a DP2.1 one eventually comes out.

Thanks.

@Level1_Amber can you DM me what you have. Looking for something with DP1.4 for at least 3 computers and 3-4 monitors OR 3x 3+ computuers x 1 monitor.

I’d be interested in a very damaged single monitor, two computer KVM.

I’m interested as well. If you have anything that can work with a M2 macbook pro and a Dell Latitude 5320

I’m going to at least reply here to say I’ve Dm’d you, so it doesn’t look like I’m ignoring anyone xD

Anything left?

Of what kind? We always have scracth & dents

Simple, something where I can use shared keyboard/mouse and monitor.
Currently I have one monitor that I switch the input (DP // HDMI) but I’m tired of the input lag on USB switching.

@Level1_Amber I am very interested in a Scratch / Dent KVM.

I currently have a Dell Latitude 5300 work laptop and at least one personal computers (2 would be ideal) to connect to the KVM.

I would like to connect to 2 - 4K Ultra gear monitors. I could even add a third in the future.

Can you recommend a KVM that you have for this use cases and is it available in scratch dent? If not please direct me to the store link?

Thanks for reaching out! We do have some options available.

Depending on your budget you think about some of the DiaplayPort KVMs we have. 2 PC 2 Monitor, 2 PC 3 Monitor, or 4 PC 2 Monitor, etc.

If you use this route you will have to get a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter for the laptop if it doesn’t have DisplayPort built in.

Here’s all of our hardware with the base pricing.

Lmk which of these you’re leaning more toward and I’ll see what I can do for a scratch and dent.

If I use this, Combo USB-C Power Delivery & DisplayPort 1.4 KVM - Dual Monitor.

Will I be able to use the single usbc output from my laptop to power the two 4K monitors?

short answer: no.

long answer:
We require the inputs and outputs to be at 1 to 1 ratio, otherwise you’d run into bandwidth trouble. Jittering, flashing screen, or it might just not work.

2 monitors will always require 2 cables from each input.
4 monitors will always require 4 cables from each input.
