1 / 7Yukidoke YSW222 Dual-Monitor HDMI/DisplayPort KVM Switch, 4K 60Hz
Dual-Monitor: The Yukidoke YSW222 KVM switch is listed for switching one of two desktop computers across two monitors, with four USB 3.0 peripheral ports. The listing claims 4K 60Hz and extended or mirrored display modes, but specifies a desktop HDMI and DisplayPort setup and says laptops and tablets cannot be used.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing is inconsistent about the video connections: its title says HDMI and DisplayPort, while setup instructions describe both HDMI ports and elsewhere map HDMI input A to HDMI output A and DisplayPort input B to DisplayPort output B. The 4K 60Hz claim does not specify which output combination it applies to. Confirm the exact port layout and your PC-to-monitor cabling before buying. The listing also conflicts on included items: its explicit contents list names a USB cable, while the title mentions sharing a mouse and keyboard.

The supplied aggregate ratings lean positive, with five- and four-star categories making up most ratings, while some three-star ratings indicate less positive experiences. Without customer comments, the reasons are unknown. Treat the figures as limited feedback rather than evidence that the claimed video modes, ports or compatibility will suit a particular setup.
Frequently asked questions
Can this switch show both computers at once?
No. The listing says it routes one active signal source at a time, so it switches between computers rather than showing both simultaneously.
Are laptops supported?
The listing says the switch is for desktop PCs and that laptops and tablets cannot be used.
Do the four USB ports work without connecting the computers by USB?
No. The setup instructions say to connect USB cables from the computers to the switch's USB input ports for its four USB output ports to function.
Does it support extended and mirrored displays?
The listing claims both modes, but says the connected computer must support the mode. It also gives inconsistent connection instructions, so check the port arrangement before purchase.
