The same applies to the DisplayPort plugs. This is how the mouse and keyboard are connected to each computer. Once those are plugged into their computers, the KVM switch will be recognized as an accessory extension. CKLau supplies all the cables required to get the system hooked up, including these USB slots that plug into each respective computer. The DP Out port is where this switcher connects to the monitor that both computers will be using to display on. ![]() There’s also a slot for an optional wired remote to plug in here as well. Segmented into three sections, the KVM switch has an On/Off toggle next to the DC5V power plug. I say chaos as it does seem a little daunting at first, but once you get a grasp for the purpose of each section, it basically sets itself up. The back of the device is where all the chaos comes from. On the 2 port model I have, there are two USB-A ports for a keyboard and a mouse alongside microphone and speaker slots. ![]() Your accessories are all plugged in on the front side of the switcher. This was a huge deciding factor for me as I wanted to use my JBL reference speakers with both my Mac Mini and my Cyberpower PC. This means that you could plug in your speakers and use them for both computers. At only $69.99 at the time of purchase, this switcher was one of the only ones on Amazon that had audio and microphone support.
