If you've ever run two computers into two monitors through a KVM switch and watched your resolution reset, your taskbar rearrange itself, or your monitor flicker every time you switch sources — that's almost always a bad EDID handshake, and it's the single biggest complaint about cheap KVM switches. TESmart built the DKS202-M24 specifically around fixing that: a dual-monitor, dual-PC KVM switch with its own EDID emulator that memorizes your display configuration so switching stays instant and glitch-free.
DKS202-M24 — Dual 8K@60Hz / 4K@144Hz KVM Switch
2 PCs, 2 monitors, one keyboard and mouse — with a built-in USB 3.0 + Gigabit Ethernet + audio docking station.
Shop the DKS202-M24
Everything you need is in the box: KVM unit plus a full set of DisplayPort and USB cables.
Who this is actually for
This is built for people running two computers on two monitors and switching between them constantly — a work laptop and a personal PC, a gaming rig and a streaming/recording PC, or two Macs sharing one desk. Instead of physically unplugging cables (or buying two of everything), the DKS202-M24 lets one keyboard, mouse, and pair of monitors serve both machines, with a single button press or hotkey to flip between them.
Setup is literally: 2×DP from each PC in, 2×DP to your monitors out.
Why the resolution ceiling matters
This runs DisplayPort 1.4 with up to 32.4Gbps of bandwidth, which is what makes dual 8K@60Hz possible in the first place — most budget KVMs top out at 4K@30-60Hz and choke the moment you want higher refresh rates. Here you get backward compatibility down to 4K@144Hz for gaming, with G-Sync, FreeSync, FEC and DSC support so variable refresh rate doesn't break when it passes through the switch.
4K@144Hz passthrough means the KVM doesn't become the bottleneck for gaming.
A docking station is built in
Beyond video and keyboard/mouse switching, the DKS202-M24 doubles as a shared dock: USB 3.0 at 5Gbps for drives and peripherals, Gigabit Ethernet for a stable wired connection, and a 3.5mm jack that unifies audio input/output for calls. You can also independently lock USB or audio focus to one PC — several real owners specifically call out being able to keep a mic/webcam locked to their work PC while freely switching video, which is a detail cheaper KVMs usually miss entirely.
What actual owners say
This model sits at a genuine 5.0 out of 5 across 179 verified reviews (173 five-star, 6 four-star, zero below that). The recurring theme across real owner reviews: people upgrading from a cheaper or older KVM specifically because of flicker, dropped connections, or resolution resets — and reporting that this one "just works" through reboots, sleep/wake, and heavy multi-monitor, multi-GPU setups. The most common minor complaint is that all USB ports are on the front panel rather than split front/back, which is a cable-routing preference more than a functional issue.
Key specs
- Video: 2× DisplayPort 1.4 in per PC, 2× DP out — up to 7680×4320 (8K) @ 60Hz, or 3840×2160 (4K) @ 144Hz
- EDID emulation: built-in, prevents flicker and resolution resets on switching
- Sync support: G-Sync, FreeSync, FEC, DSC passthrough
- Docking: USB 3.0 (5Gbps), Gigabit Ethernet, 3.5mm audio jack
- Control: independent USB and audio focus lock, hotkey and button switching
- Warranty: 1 year standard, extendable to 5 years with registration; 30-day returns; up to 50% trade-in credit
Bottom line: at $329.90, the DKS202-M24 isn't the cheapest KVM switch on the market, but it's solving the exact problem cheap KVMs create — unstable EDID handling and resolution limits — backed by a real 5.0-star track record across 179 verified buyers. For anyone running two high-refresh, high-resolution setups off one desk, this is the category TESmart specifically built it for.
