# BENFEI 000496grey USB-C and HDMI KVM Switch, 1 Monitor, 2 Computers, 4K at 60Hz

Computers: BENFEI 000496grey is a KVM switch for sharing one HDMI monitor and USB peripherals between a USB-C laptop and an HDMI computer. Its stated 4K at 60Hz output and seven USB ports suit a desk where one display and peripherals need to serve two systems, but the laptop's USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode.

## At a glance

- Switches one HDMI monitor and shared USB peripherals between a USB-C laptop and an HDMI computer.
- Two USB-C, two USB 3.0 and three USB 2.0 ports are listed for shared peripherals.
- The listing claims up to 4K at 60Hz and USB-C power input up to 100W, with laptop charging up to 70W.
- Switch via the front button or desktop controller. Hotkeys and EDID emulation are not supported.

## Pros

- A single shared display and seven USB ports can reduce the need to reconnect a keyboard, mouse and other peripherals when changing computers.
- The desktop controller gives a switching option away from the switch's front button.
- The listing specifies USB-C power delivery for a laptop and 18W output for charging another device.

## Cons

- PC2 requires separate HDMI and USB-A-to-C cables, and the listing says these are not included.
- High-power USB peripherals may need an external power source, and a power adapter and cable are not included.
- The laptop USB-C connection must support DisplayPort Alt Mode for video.

## Before you buy

- Listing details are inconsistent or unconfirmed: the feature text claims a desktop controller and a keyboard, mouse, printer and webcam setup, while the explicit box-contents field is only “/”. Accessory inclusion is therefore unclear. The listing also specifies USB-C inputs up to 100W and laptop delivery up to 70W, which are different power figures and should not be treated as the same rating. For PC2, provide HDMI and USB-A-to-C data connections. Use a power supply for stable operation, especially with high-power USB devices. For optimal signal the listing recommends HDMI cables no longer than 3m and 28AWG. If the monitor has been connected directly to PC2 above 4K at 60Hz, the listing says to set it to 4K at 60Hz or lower before reconnecting through the switch. Keep the laptop awake before switching.

## In the box

- Desktop controller (Check selected pack): Claimed in the feature text, but not corroborated by the explicit box-contents field.
- Keyboard and mouse (Check selected pack): Mentioned in the claimed peripheral setup, but the explicit box-contents field does not confirm them.

## A good fit for

- People sharing one HDMI monitor and USB peripherals between a USB-C laptop and a second computer with HDMI output.
- Desk setups using a single keyboard and mouse with two compatible systems.
- Users seeking one switch with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 peripherals and stated laptop power delivery.

## Less suited to

- Setups needing more than one monitor, as the listing specifies one HDMI monitor only.
- Laptops whose USB-C port does not support DisplayPort Alt Mode.
- Buyers who need hotkey switching or EDID emulation.
- Users expecting the required PC2 cables or power adapter and cable to be included.

## Customer feedback

Aggregate ratings are strongly positive overall, with most ratings in the five-star category and a smaller share in the four- and three-star categories. No customer comments or reasons for ratings are supplied, so these figures cannot establish how well the switch handles particular computers, resolutions or peripherals. Buyers should assess compatibility against the stated single-monitor setup, USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode requirement and PC2 cabling.

## Frequently asked questions

### How many computers and monitors does this switch support?
The listing describes two computers sharing one HDMI monitor. It does not specify multi-monitor support.
### Can it show 4K at 60Hz?
The listing claims HDMI output up to 4K at 60Hz, with HDR-related features. Actual compatibility depends on the connected devices and cables.
### What connection does the laptop need?
The laptop connects over USB-C, and its port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode for video. PC2 requires HDMI for video and a USB-A-to-C cable for data, which the listing says is not included.
### Are the desktop controller and cables included?
The feature text claims an included desktop controller, but the explicit box-contents field shows only “/”. PC2 HDMI and USB-A-to-C cables, plus the power adapter and cable, are stated as not included. Check the selected listing for the accessory bundle.
