Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a solid KVM switch. I have two laptops—one Mac for work and a Windows machine for gaming—and switching the monitor input has become quite annoying. I need a switch that can handle 4K resolution at a minimum of 60Hz. I've tried several options, but they all seem to have issues with the 'PC 2' port. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I feel your pain! I was looking for a KVM switch that supports 4K at 144Hz, and honestly, I found that most of them are pretty disappointing. It might actually be easier to find one for 4K at 60Hz since it requires less bandwidth. The ones I tried all had some glitching problems, probably due to not being able to handle the bandwidth properly. I even bought a bunch of short cables from the official DisplayPort list, but nothing worked for me.
I heard there are some high-end models that do work well but they're around 1000 euros, so it might be a bit too much for just a switch. Might just be easier to manage without it!
