Plug in keyboard and mouse to the USB ports on the switch, and optionally connect a USB device to the front USB-A port. Connect microphone and speaker cables if audio switching is required. Power on both computers and the monitor; the switch functions via BIOS-level plug-and-play so no drivers are necessary. Use the front-panel button or the configured keyboard hotkey to toggle control between the two computers.

Recommendations

For reliable 4K output, use high-quality HDMI cables rated for 4K at 30 Hz. If you plan to share large-capacity external drives via the front USB-A port, safely eject the device from the active computer before switching to avoid data corruption.
