INTRODUCTION
This 2-Port USB and DisplayPort® KVM Switch allows you to use a single
DisplayPort monitor, USB keyboard, USB mouse, microphone, and
headphones/speakers with two desktop or laptop computers. Two sets
of USB, DisplayPort, and audio cables are built into the switch for
connecting the two computers and a basic push-button switches the
computer being controlled. It can draw all the power it needs from the
USB bus, but if bus power is not enough, a micro USB power port allows
you to use a wall charger or other USB power source to power the
switch.
