Seems promising, except I can't find a single KVM that offers an additional USB 3.0 port. Will keep looking; seems there are only about 5-10 total KVM models on the market right now that actually remember what the V stands for. Lots of USB switchers, though.– ZephyrCommented Mar 12, 2021 at 21:05

@Zephyr - I saw a couple on Amazon by CKLau and Tripp Lite. Not sure which is better, but they both have M+K USB ports + 2 USB 3.0 Device ports. One thing to be aware of with USB KVM switches is the M+K USB ports may not support special button pass-through if your mouse or keyboard has special functions.– BlaelphCommented Mar 16, 2021 at 0:39

I ended up going with the Tripp Lite KVM. Very few reviews but the specs look good. I'm in the process of setting everything up now (so many wires!). I'll let you know how it turns out.– ZephyrCommented Mar 16, 2021 at 0:43

The Tripp Lite KVM works pretty darn well. The media keys on the keyboard function. I also have both a powered USB-3 and unpowered USB-2 hubs plugged into the KVM and they're working for the most part too. I don't have much plugged into them yet so I can't attest to the overall bandwidth available, but I'm pleased with the setup. Thank you for your input!– ZephyrCommented Mar 16, 2021 at 4:18

You're welcome. I'm happy to hear your setup is working for you.– BlaelphCommented Mar 17, 2021 at 1:18

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
