Hearvo 8K@60Hz HDMI KVM Switch for 2 Computers with USB 3.0 and Wired Remote
Product description
If you want to control two computers from one desk, a KVM switch keeps the display and shared USB peripherals in a single switching setup. If your priority is a high-resolution HDMI connection, this Hearvo model supports up to 8K at 60Hz.
Three USB 3.0 ports let you share devices such as a keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner, or external drive between connected computers. That means fewer peripherals to move when changing systems.
Use the wired remote for an accessible switch point, or press the button on the unit. Adaptive EDID helps optimize display settings automatically as you change computers.
How to use it
Connect the computers and display using HDMI, then connect the USB cables to let the computers share peripherals through the switch. The package includes two USB 3.0 cables and a wired remote, the stated setup for two computers and one monitor requires three HDMI 2.1 cables, which you supply separately. Place the switch where its connections are convenient and position the remote within reach. Switch between computers with either the remote or the button on the unit.
The KVM supports PC, laptop, and PS4 devices, and lists compatibility with Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems. Its HDMI and USB connections bring display switching and peripheral sharing together in one setup.
Why it’s worth it
The main advantage is keeping a shared workspace organized while using two computers. Rather than reconnecting a keyboard, mouse, or printer each time you change systems, you can route those USB devices through the switch. Three USB 3.0 ports also accommodate additional peripherals, including storage drives and scanners.
Need detailed visuals for work or entertainment? The switch supports 8K at 60Hz, along with 8K at 30Hz, 4K at 240Hz, 2K, 3D, and 1080p. HDCP 2.3 support is listed for protected content, and the wired remote gives you a convenient way to select the active computer without reaching for the unit. Would a dedicated desk button make switching more convenient? The included remote is designed for exactly that kind of access.
Buyers often praise the straightforward setup and remote control. Feedback on compatibility and switching response is mixed, with some users reporting MacBook compatibility issues or delays. This is useful context when planning a setup around a particular computer.
