It'sNew TESsmart DisplayPort KVM targeted gaming and WFH hybrid setups
TESsmart just released new series of KVM that seems to be the best suited for gaming / work from home hybrid dual/triple monitor setups I've seen.
News announcement: https://www.tesmart.com/blogs/news/8k-60hz-kvm-switch-gaming-dock-for-2-pcs-2-mon coming in both dual (DKS202-M24) and triple monitor (DKS203-M24) versions.
Just wanted to share after seeing other posts for recommendations on gaming/WFH KVM, and my own frustration of looking for a DisplayPort based KVM that will support a gaming PC with no compromises and work from home setup. I at least find this option interesting.
In my own view what makes this KVM interesting.
* DisplayPort based. It will support "G-sync compatible" monitors. Freesync monitors that are "G-sync Compatible" do not work over HDMI, unless its a newer monitor with HDMI 2.1. ome of us still have monitors with HDMI 2.0, here the DisplayPort input is the only option for Gsync.
* DisplayPort EDID emulation. This should enable very fast switching between PC's, because each PC does not have to "rediscover" the monitor after switching (EDID emulation should keep each PC's video output active). EDID emulation is pretty rare feature on DisplayPort.
* USB ports for mouse / keyboard support either emulation or pass-through mode (DDM like). So I actually expect it to support advanced gaming keyboards that are programmable through software and full NKRO, compared to KVM's with dedicated M/K ports that only do USB HID emulation.
* "Reasonbly priced" (compared to ConnectPro and Rextron-based alternatives at least)
Other DisplayPort KVM options that may be better for some depending on what functionality is prioritized:
* AV Access iDock D23 (triple monitor DP 2.0, ith card reader and USB ethernet, USB 1.1 for keyboard?)
* AV Access 8KSW21DP-DM (dual monitor DP 1.4, SB 1.1 for keyboard?)
* ConnectPro UDP2-12AP (dual monitor DP 1.4 - also has DDM M/K and EDID emulation like TESmart)
* Rextron PAAG-E3122B (dual monitor DP 1.4, 0Gbps USB-C hub \*Rextron is OEM - Startech and Level1 has retail variants.. triple and quad monitor variants also exist from Rextron)
I placed an order. I'll share later if it meets my expectations :)
I plan to use it with 2x 1080P 240Hz Gsync monitors, Asus Claymore II keyboard and Logitech G502 Hero mouse.
