Rank #9 in Best KVM Switch 2026: Ten Ranked on Real Ports, Not 8K Logos
TESmart 8K@60Hz HDMI KVM Switch 4 Computers 1 Monitor, 4 Port KVM for Gaming
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.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Works seemlessly when other non brands would not. Worth the extra money and EDID feature super useful.”
“I've used a fair amount of KVM switches and I'm really pleased I got to try this one. For me it's been great to use and a nice step up for the basic ones I've used.Don't get me wrong, they've worked well and get the job done. But this one is a step up. The EDIF feature really helps with keeping the desktop all in the right place when switching machines. This allows up to 4 computers at 8K 60HZ, which is quite impressive. The audio jack is a nice addition as well.There's a lot to this and I can see why it's at a high price. There's build quality is rock solid and it looks better in person than it does in the pictures. If you need this then it is worth what they're asking. I'm happy with it.”
