Game changer if you have two computers! A click of the remote changes from one to the other

I am currently using 1 external display for both Macbook Pro (M1 Pro) and Mac Mini (M2). Even though I can switch all devices such as monitor, hifi system keyboard and mouse by just connecting 1 thunderbolt cable, but it is still a hassle. However, it took me a long time to look for a KVM switch that can support faster than 10gbps as most of the KVM switch in the market only support up to 10gbps. Until one day I came across this CableMatter 20gbps switch, it solved all the problems that I had by manually unplugging and plugging in the thunderbolt cable to different devices and it has been work flawlessly for after a year of usage.

I had to change my review. Initially, it did refuse to start then after two days it stopped working. It turned up that the cable supplied are or became very directional. Yet, there is no indication of that on the cables themselves, the manula, the web page, the Amazon page, unless I missed it. The main thing is that now it works flawlessly! It is now connected to an old (but absolutely wonderful) Apple Cinema display ca. 2011 by two extra adapters (The Apple display crazily has a non remomovable mini DP only (told you that is an old display). At the other end is connected to a Macbook Pro M4, and the other system is an old MacBook Pro 2016 running WIndows 11 through Bootcamp (or sometimes booted to Monterey). It has been working now for two months, switching seamlessly for two months (of course now I marked the ends odf the cables!). My apologies to Cable Matters, and a plea to mark the seemingly directional cables so that they can be correctly connected and explain that in your instructions. I was tempted to give less than 5 stars, because of that, but it does exactly what I need, hence 5 stars.

RESUMEN: Funciona perfecto, ideal si quieres cambiar rápido entre dos portátiles. Funciona con vídeo y carga. Tengo un monitor que conectaba con un cable USB para cagar y tener video a la vez en mi portátil personal. Quería poder intercambiar fácil entre mi portátil y el del trabajo sin tener que cambiar el cable. Ahora tengo ambos portátiles conectados al aparato, y éste conectado al monitor, con un click en el botón físico (o los botones del mando) me cambio rápidamente de uno a otro. Tarda alrededor de unos 5 segundos cambiar de uno a otro, nada dramático ni para bien ni para mal. Creo que solamente carga el portátil activo, pero no he hecho pruebas para corroborarlo.

I currently have it setup with a Wavlink triple display dock (DisplayLink) with 2 1080p monitors connected to a Mac Mini and a Mac book pro. I can confirm this setup works for dual monitors. One important thing, make sure to use the included usb4 cables. I have tried to use a longer 2M 40gbps/240W usb c cable because the included ones are a little too short for my setup. This doesn’t work as I believe the cables quite different. If you do want to have a longer cable you’ll really need to do a bit more research and find a suitable 20Gbps USB4 cable possibly from the CableMatters brand themselves. I believe USB4 also has a length limit for passive cable and signal lost can occur which for me causes my monitors to flicker on and off. The included shorter cables does not cause this issue.

Fonctionne parfaitement avec deux Macbook (Perso et Pro) sur un Apple Studio Display. La commutation est assez rapide. Il est impératif d’utiliser les câbles fournis, car le câble Apple pour l’Apple Display ne fonctionnait pas sur l’un des Mac.
