Product Information
Full details
This Lindy KVM switch is designed for users who need to control two HDMI-equipped computers from a single set of peripherals and a monitor. Its key benefit is providing seamless 4K@60Hz HDR video switching along with USB 2.0 and audio pass-through, simplifying multi-computer workflows. A potential caveat is its reliance on an external power adapter.

FAQs
Can this KVM switch be used with a 144Hz monitor?
The KVM switch supports resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz. While it can connect to a 144Hz monitor, the video output will be limited to 60Hz.
Does the KVM switch support USB 3.0 devices?
This KVM switch features USB 2.0 ports. While some USB 3.0 devices may function at USB 2.0 speeds, high-speed data transfer for storage devices is not supported.
How do I switch between computers?
You can switch between the two connected computers using the push buttons located on the front panel of the KVM switch, or by using pre-defined keyboard hotkey combinations.
Is an external power adapter required?
Yes, an external power adapter is included and required for the KVM switch to operate correctly.
Can I connect a USB-C docking station to this KVM?
You can connect a USB-C docking station if it provides HDMI output and standard USB keyboard/mouse/audio connections. However, the KVM itself will only pass through the HDMI video signal and USB 2.0 data.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Lindy 2 Port HDMI 4K60, USB 2.0 & Audio KVM Switch comes with a 2-year warranty.
Can I connect speakers and a microphone simultaneously?
Yes, the KVM switch has separate 3.5mm ports for both stereo audio (speakers/headphones) and a microphone, allowing simultaneous connection.
Troubleshooting
No video signal on the monitor.
Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the KVM switch and the PCs/monitor. Verify the correct input source is selected on the monitor. Check if the power adapter is connected and the unit is powered on.
Keyboard or mouse not working.
Ensure the keyboard and mouse are plugged into the correct USB ports on the KVM. Try replugging them. Test the keyboard and mouse directly connected to the PC to rule out peripheral issues. Restart the KVM and PCs.
Unable to switch between computers.
Check that both PCs are powered on and connected correctly. Try using the alternative switching method (push button vs. hotkey). Ensure hotkey combinations are not conflicting with other software.
Audio is not working or is distorted.
Confirm that the audio cables are properly connected to the KVM switch and your speakers/headphones/microphone. Check audio settings within the operating system of both PCs. Ensure the Audio On/Off button on the front panel is not muted.
Poor video quality or flickering.
Verify that the HDMI cables used are certified for HDMI 2.0 and support the required bandwidth (18Gbps). Ensure the resolution and refresh rate settings in the PC's display properties do not exceed the KVM's capabilities (4K@60Hz). Consider using shorter or higher-quality HDMI cables.
