Looking for a 2 port dual monitor DisplayPort KVM

Rawxor

As the title says, I'm looking for a KVM with the following features:

  • 2 ports, I'm connecting my MacPro (for work) and my windows gaming PC (for play) to this
  • Dual monitor
  • DisplayPort(s)
  • Runs at least at 2560x1440 with a high refresh rate, at least 144Hz but higher is better
  • Has USB (prefer 3.0, but if not that's ok)
  • Has audio (simple mini RCA / "Aux" is fine)
  • Must have EDID

I currently have a TRENDnet KVM that meets most of those requirements but it is missing EDID so when i swap the computer sometimes the monitors are in the wrong configuration (on the wrong sides).  Also, in Windows the 144hz monitor goes black for a few seconds every now and again but this might not be a fault of the KVM since it doesn't happen on the MacPro.  I have two dell monitors S2719DGF (for gaming @ 144Hz) and U2715H for the secondary display and an RTX 2080ti founders edition.

 

Does anyone know of a KVM that meets or exceeds these qualifications?

I was looking for DisplayPort KVMs a little while ago to see what the likelihood of being able to share my new LG 38" ultrawide between the HEDT and gaming rig but even single port DP KVMs are few and far between.

 

Dual port, it sounds like you've already done research and found that TrendNet device. Not sure why we don't have more options given how long DP has been a thing, but it seems like the market for KVMs must still somehow favor good ol' VGA - even DVI or HDMI KVMs are not super plentiful.
