Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The TESmart HKS401-M24 is our number 9 KVM switch pick for September 2026 and the most advanced four computer unit in this guide. It connects four computers to one 8K 60Hz monitor over HDMI 2.1, keeps display data stable with per port EDID emulators, and doubles as a small hub with four USB 3.0 ports, two USB 1.1 keyboard and mouse ports, gigabit Ethernet and 3.5 mm audio.
Switching works by front buttons, custom hotkeys, mouse wheel or IR remote. At £382.49 its proof is thin, just three ratings, so we present it as capable but unproven. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.
How those 3 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.5 stars.
