Why CKS202 Prime (P) Stands Out
Dual Display via Single USB-C (MST)
From 4K to 240Hz — It Just Works
Two Display Modes, Two Ways to Work
EDID Emulation — Stable Screens, No Surprises
Built-in Shared Docking Station
⚠️ MacBooks with M1/M2/M3 chips natively support only one extended display.
✅ To achieve dual extended displays on macOS (like on Windows), please ensure your Mac supports multi-display output and use both included USB-C cables.
One switch, endless options. Whether for gaming, content creation, or multi-window workflows, our KVM handles a wide range of resolutions and refresh rates with ease.
Each KVM output supports up to:
- 3840×2160 (4K UHD) — 60Hz
- 3440×1440 (21:9 Ultra-Wide) — 100Hz
- 3840×1080 (32:9 Ultra-Wide) — 120Hz
- 2560×1440 (QHD) — 120Hz
- 2560×1080 (21:9 Ultra-Wide) — 165Hz
- 1920×1080 (FHD) — 240Hz
- Mode 1: One PC on Two Monitors (Extend or Mirror)
Extend your desktop across both monitors or mirror your display for presentations. Simply configure in your PC’s display settings — perfect for multitasking or dual-screen workflows.
- Mode 2: Two PCs on Two Monitors
Display two computers side by side — one on each monitor. Use hotkeys to switch the KM focus between them. Ideal for hybrid setups (e.g. Mac + Windows), dev work, or live monitoring.
Switching displays shouldn’t scramble your desktop. Our built-in EDID emulator keeps your layout exactly how you left it.
- No More Icon Mess
Preserves icon positions and window sizes when switching inputs.
- Flicker-Free Switching
Eliminates screen blackouts and flicker caused by display reinitialization.
- Smoother Multitasking
Maintain visual consistency across workstations and monitor setups.
✅ With TESmart EDID emulation: your display stays stable and unchanged — even after switching.
⚠️ Without EDID emulation: icons shift, windows resize, and screen flicker occurs after every switch.
Declutter your desk with a built-in docking station — no extra hubs needed. Share essential ports across all connected devices:
- 60W USB-C PD — Power your laptop while working
- USB 3.0 (5Gbps) — Fast data for drives, webcams, and more
- 1000Mbps Ethernet — Reliable, wired network connection
- Headset Jack — Clear audio input and output for meetings
Perfect for hybrid setups, home offices, and clean cable management.
Easy Switching, 4 Ways
Independent USB & Audio Focus Lock
Dedicated K&M Ports with Dual-Mode Support
Check Device Compatibility Before Purchase
Switching shouldn’t slow you down — we offer four seamless methods to suit any setup or habit:
- Custom Hotkey Switching — Fast keyboard shortcuts for power users
- Front Panel Button — Simple, direct access anytime
- IR Remote — Stay in control from across the desk
- Mouse Wheel — Tap twice for instant switching
Whether you're working, gaming, or presenting — choose the way that works best for you.
Switch displays without interrupting your USB devices or audio.
This KVM lets you lock USB 3.0 and L/R audio focus independently, so your headset, webcam, or external drives stay connected to the current PC — even while switching screens.
Highlights:
- Lock USB and audio separately
- Prevent call or device dropouts
- Lock state remains after reboot
✅ Ideal for meetings, streaming, and multitasking
⚠️ USB focus ≠ keyboard & mouse focus — they switch separately
To improve keyboard and mouse compatibility — especially during hotkey switching — we designed two specialized connection modes:
- Pass-Through Mode (Recommended)
Direct passthrough to the PC. Supports advanced drivers, macros, high-DPI mice, and multifunction input devices. Ideal for gaming, design, and pro workflows. - Legacy Emulation Mode
Ensures universal compatibility and stable hotkey functionality across most systems. Best for office or when driver issues occur.
✅ Hotkey commands only work when your keyboard is connected to the dedicated K&M port.
⚠️ Emulation Mode disables driver-based software and advanced features.
⚠️ Bluetooth keyboards/mice are not supported.
⚠️ Legacy Emulation Mode available via firmware update (Prime 23 series)
Please ensure your laptop’s USB-C port supports both video output and data transfer to avoid functionality issues.
FAQs
What to do if Macbook only outputs duplicate screens?
- The port marked ‘A’ supports the MST mode.
Up to now, devices running Apple’s Mac OS, Ubuntu and other operating systems do not support MST mode. If your PC is not Windows OS and has 2 USB-C ports supporting video output, connecting them to the input port group will also enable dual monitor displays. - It should be noted that through the product page of Apple's official website, you will get that at present, the Macbook series with M1, M2 and M3 chipset do not support more than 1 external screen display. [Especially for M3 series, when entering the closed state (built-in screen is off) it supports 2 external screen display.]
What to do if video output can work normally, but USB part is not malfunctioning?
- Connect the USB devices to the PC directly bypassing the KVM switch, to check if all USB devices can work normally.
- Make sure that the other types of USB devices are connected to the additional USB 3.0 ports instead of the dedicated K&M ports on the rear panel.
- Pay attention to the total bandwidth occupied by all the external USB devices. The total bandwidth of the USB 3.0 channel on the CKS202-P23 model is 5Gbps, if the total bandwidth occupied by the external USB devices in connection exceeds this upper limit, it will cause the USB devices to be unable to work properly.
- The USB 3.0 port on the front panel supports 7.5W power output, if a USB device that requires more power (e.g. USB mixing consoles) needs to be connected to the KVM, it is recommended that you connect it to the USB 3.0 port on the front panel to ensure it works properly.
What to do if laptop indicates that the charging power is too low?
- Currently the Input A port on the CKS202-P23 supports charging at around 36W; the main reason for limiting the charging power to this standard is due to a combination of factors such as heating concerns that may affect its lifespan. If more charging power needed, you can consider another model as same series, the HDC202-P23, which will provide 60W charging power for the Input 1 port; in the future, we will also release the Plus version of CKS202-P23, which will upgrade to 60W charging power.
What to do if there is no audio output from the 3.5mm audio port?
- For CKS202-P23, the audio signals from 3.5mm audio interface are transmitted through the USB channel. Please confirm if the selected the playback device for audio has been set to "USB Audio" channel.
Does this model support 100M Network card or 1000M Network card?
- Currently this model supports 100M NIC. If you require 1000M NIC, kindly consider purchasing the alternative model HDC202-P23. Additionally, it will be upgraded to 1000M NIC in the future Plus version of this model.
- If you encountered the problem of the USB network interferes with your wired network or wireless WIFI network, you can disable the USB network of the KVM by accessing the network adapter in the computer settings; if you don't have the relevant authority of the working PC, you may need to contact the network administrator to do the operation.
What input devices may not be compatible with this model?
- After R&D testing and customer case verification, we found that this model CKS202-P23 is not compatible with Mac mini&Mac Studio series devices, which may lead to flickering screen and other video issues. We are actively working for optimizing this issue and the future Plus version of this model will improve the compatibility and solve the problem.
If your input devices involves this series, we kindly invite you to purchase our other alternative models.
