I'm trying to help my cousin find a 2x2 KVM switch that would work for his dual monitor setup. He wants to connect his gaming desktop and work laptop, along with his keyboard, mouse, and a headset, to switch between the two PCs while using both monitors. I searched online but could only find 2x2 HDMI matrix switches instead. Does anyone know where I can find a suitable KVM switch that can handle this setup? Extra points if it can also switch the headset! Thanks and Happy New Year!

It sounds like your cousin just needs to connect his two monitors, keyboard, mouse, and headset to both his laptop and desktop. Have you checked Amazon? They have a ton of options for 2x2 and even 3x3 KVM switches, including some that come with IR remotes for easy switching!
Yeah, I get that! A lot of the KVMs I've seen support 144Hz, but it can be hit or miss. Make sure to check the specs carefully!
You can find 2x2 KVM switches that support dual monitors without a problem! I found a few while browsing around that might fit your cousin's needs. Just make sure to look for ones that specify 144Hz support in their features. It might take a bit of digging, but they are out there!
I've been looking on Amazon too, but I've only found KVM switches for single monitors. I'm also curious if any support 144Hz refresh rates.
