Question I'm looking for a dual computer/dual monitor KVM switch ?

[ysy888]

I'm trying to configure a PC/MAC hybrid setup. Is there any KVM switch that supports:

• Displayport 1.4
• Ability to switch between PC1/PC2 and then PC1 on monitor A and PC2 on monitor B.

To support your second requirement, you need to look for a matrix switch, rather than a KVM.
Is there a requirement to swap mouse and keyboard also or just video ?

Yes I want to switch the keyboard and mouse as well.
What is a matrix switch and how does it differ from a KVM switch?
It looks like KVM switches from TESmart support this function, but they don't have anything that suports DP 1.4

A matrix switch allows any input to be connected to any output. A KVM typically just connects all inputs from #1 to the outputs or #2 to the outputs. You want additional capabilities.
