DVI KVM shopping starts with the display connection: single-link DVI, dual-link DVI and dual-monitor DVI are different requirements. Check every computer’s output, whether an adapter is active or passive, the monitor resolution and the USB peripherals you need to share before choosing a two-port switch.
