A5: No, but in addition to the switch button, there is also a wired remote control with a length of 1.5 meters, which is very convenient for you to manage the cables.
Q6: Does this KVM switch support emulated EDID?
A6: NO,all DP KVM on the market does not support it, this is the DisplayPort specific issue and is why DisplayPort doesn’t support EDID emulation, not just this product. So,after switching, the arrangement order of the originally opened windows will be slightly shifted.If you need a KVM that supports EDID emulation, recommend ASIN: B0BJCVX72Z.
Q7: My desktop only has 2 HDMI ports, and my laptop only has one HDMI port and one USB C port, will it work for my computers?
A7: Suitable for your configuration,this KVM supports dedicated HDMI to DP converter or cable, supports USB C to DP converter or cable, if your laptop only has USB C port, you can use USB C docking station to convert USB C into 2 DP. (USB C docking station needs to support extended output).Using a converter will result in a loss of resolution.（NOTE：the HDMI to DP converter is completely different from the DP to HDMI converter，the HDMI to DP converter has a built-in chip and needs to be powered by a USB cable.)
Q8: The KVM output are 2 DP port and my monitor is a HDMI port, is that applicable?
A8: You can use a DP to HDMI converter or cable, the KVM support DP to VGA, DP to HDMI. There are many converters on the market with varying compatibility. This KVM is suitable for converters with better compatibility.
Q9: Can I connect two hard drives at the same time?
A9: We suggest just one HDD/SSD is connected at a time due to the power output limitations of some laptops.
Q10: How can I do if the wireless network is affected when using this dual monitor KVM switch?
A10: Please set your router from 2.4GHz to 5GHz for a try.
Q11: Is this KVM switch plug and play?
A11: Yes, it is plug and play, and no driver is needed.
Q12: What if my Macbook doesn’t have a USB A port?
A12: Yes, you can use it with a Macbook, but you need to connect the Mac to the switch via a USB-C docking station or a USB C to A cable.

A14: Yes, it has two LED indicators and the wired remote control with digital 1/2 LED indicators. The corresponding led indicator will light according to the computer you switch to.
Q15: Why is there a lagging issue sometimes when using the wireless mouse or keyboard?
A15: The reason for the lagging issue might be as follows. 1. The broadband noise from USB 3.0 data spectrum is in the 2.4-2.5GHz range. If the antenna of a wireless device operating in this band such as 2.4GHz is placed close to any of the USB3.0radiation channels, it will pick up the broadband noise.
Thus it will affect the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) and limit the sensitivity of any wireless receiver. 2. All electronic products will have some radiation. The radiation is diverging in the formof electromagnetic waves. When the electromagnetic frequency of this radiation is just about the same as the operating frequency range of wireless devices–2.4Ghz, it will interfere with wireless devices.
