Looking for affordable KVM with DP, GSync Support, 2x HDMI for Gaming/Work Setup

Tronnic

Budget (including currency): 150€?

Country: Germany

Other details

 

Hello everyone! I'm looking for a KVM Switch to be able to switch flawlessly between my Gaming & Work-PC. My current setup is as follows:

 

Main Gaming PC with Ultrawide Main Monitor (3440x1440 @ 120Hz GSync) and 2 FullHD 60Hz side monitors.

While I work, my Laptop is connected to a cheap USB-C Dock, and this is connected to the Monitors with a second cable and a USB-KVM switch for Mouse, Keyboard, Headphones, Camera, Microphone.

 

I'm very unhappy with my current solution since I have to plug in the main monitor separately and also it's only running on 50hz trough HDMI which sucks even for work. Also I always have to manually select input on my main monitor as it has no auto detection (I think?) Acer Predator X34P

 

I would love to have a solution with a Full KVM switch to switch just everything with one button, Monitors including Peripherals. Is there something out there that that supports my monitors while still retaining 120hz and G-Sync for the main system that doesn't cost a fortune?

 

Thanks for any help I can get!

 

Best regards,

Frank.

The budget seems low for a multi-monitor (UHD) and USB KVM.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Ignoring the budget, what would be a reasonable product?

The laptop is connected to a dock trough thunderbolt. The dock has 2x HDMI, 1x DP. 

 

I would need a new dock anyway in order to have all 3 monitors connected at the same time as the current one is pretty cheap and lacking. My work laptop is a ThinkPad 20ST-001CGE which has 2 Thunderbolt 3 (USB 3.2 Type-C Gen2) Ports

I believe ConnectPro and others make dual and quad DisplayPort, 2 system, 1 user KVM with usb and audio. A few of these support UHD at 120Hz or more. You might be able to find a European manufacturer of such products. The US models I saw were US $500 - $1000.

this is something you may want to check, they seem to have similar requirements as your monitor setup, closest they seem to have found was $450

 

I've never seen one below a few hundred dollars though.

The best gaming PC is the PC you like to game on, how you like to game on it
