I have a gaming pc w/ 240hz monitor and macbook for work.  I want to be able to hook up my macbook to all my peripherals and use the same monitor.  Two computers, one monitor.  I was looking at the HKS201-M24-USBK.

How is the macbook compatability?  Is there a better product for me?

  Dear ktmonster,

  Thanks for reaching out.

  The HKS201-M24-USBK is compatible with MacBook for both video output and USB peripherals. For high-refresh-rate use, the key factor is the MacBook model and its video output capabilities under macOS.

  If you can share your MacBook model and the resolution you plan to use, I can recommend the most suitable KVM for your setup.

  Best regards,

  Hi, 

  Thanks for replying.

  The Macboook is an apple m4 pro, 16" retina xdr (3456x2234).  For my monitor, I plan on using 2560x1440.

  I may upgrade to an ultra wide monitor with resolution 5120x1440.

  Dear ktmonster,

  Thanks for the details.

  Your setup is generally workable with the HKS201-M24-USBK. Your MacBook Pro (M4 Pro, 16") can output 2560×1440 without any issues, and the KVM can pass through this resolution for both your MacBook and gaming PC.

  For a future upgrade to a 5120×1440 ultrawide monitor, it may also work, but support at high refresh rates depends on the monitor’s EDID requirements and the KVM’s firmware. Some ultrawide models have stricter timing, so performance can vary.

  In summary:
  2560×1440: fully supported.
  5120×1440 ultrawide: likely workable, but depends on the specific monitor.

  Thank you for your understand.

  Best regards,
