Rocstor KVM Switchbox – 2-Port Dual Monitor DisplayPort 1.2 USB KVM Switch

The Rocstor KVM Switchbox is a purpose-built solution for professionals who juggle two computers at a single workstation. Engineered around DisplayPort 1.2 for dual-monitor capability and USB KVM functionality, this compact device consolidates control of two PCs with a single keyboard, mouse, and a shared set of USB peripherals. Built to minimize clutter, maximize productivity, and streamline routine switching, the Rocstor KVM Switchbox is ideal for developers, designers, IT admins, and anyone who needs fast, reliable access to multiple systems from one desk.

• The Rocstor KVM Switchbox delivers seamless, rapid switching between two computers across two DisplayPort displays, enabling a true dual-monitor workflow. With dedicated video paths and a clean front panel, you can move between hosts without reconnecting cables or reconfiguring displays. This setup is perfect for multitasking across applications, side-by-side comparisons, and cross-team collaboration where two machines must be accessed from one station.
• USB KVM sharing simplifies peripheral management. The switchbox allows you to reuse a single keyboard and mouse for both computers, while also enabling shared USB devices such as external drives, printers, or other USB accessories from the same hub. That means reduced desk clutter, fewer cables, and a more efficient workspace with consistent input devices across environments.
• Effortless switching and clear status indicators. Choose your active computer with a tactile front-panel button or via keyboard hotkeys, depending on your workflow preference. LED indicators provide immediate at-a-glance status, so you know which machine is live and which ports are engaged. The combination of front-panel control and hotkey support accelerates operations in busy environments.
• Plug-and-play reliability across major operating systems. The Rocstor KVM Switchbox is designed for quick setup with minimal configuration. It is intended to work without specialized drivers, delivering dependable operation in Windows, macOS, and Linux environments. This makes it suitable for mixed-OS workstations, data centers, design studios, and corporate offices where heterogenous systems are common.
• Robust design for long-term use with tidy cable management. The switchbox features a compact, durable chassis that fits neatly on a desktop or in a small equipment rack with optional mounting accessories. Its streamlined layout helps keep cables organized, enhances airflow around workstation equipment, and supports a professional, clean workspace conducive to high‑productivity tasks.
