KVM switch problems usually start with the wrong cable path between computer, screen and input gear.
KVM problems usually come from unsupported display modes, weak USB handshakes or the wrong cables. No verified KVM appears in the factpacks. The Thunderbolt TB4-01 at R2,600 is a confirmed multi-device desk dock, but it does not switch two computers.
The TB4-01 dock at R2,600 expands a compatible Thunderbolt host. It cannot replace a KVM that shares one keyboard, mouse and display between computers.
The GIZZU HDMI 2.0 five-metre cable at R47 gives a verified display cable for supported resolutions. A long or damaged cable can cause blank screens and intermittent sync.
The Logitech G305 wireless mouse at R525 can bypass a troublesome shared USB mouse path during diagnosis, though each computer still needs a receiver connection.
Connect one computer and one display, lower the refresh rate, then add USB devices. Update firmware where the KVM maker provides it and use the specified power adapter.
If keyboard shortcuts fail, check whether the selected USB port supports hotkeys or only basic pass-through.
Untangling a shared desk? > Tell Evetech the computers, displays, ports and target refresh rates.
Yes, but keyboard problems can appear if the KVM does not handle the keyboard connection cleanly.
Troubleshooting should begin with the cable type, since the screen path can cause blank displays or unstable switching.
If the setup expects HDMI, the listed R47 GIZZU 4K HDMI 2.0 5m cable is the first match to inspect.
For a DisplayPort signal, test against the R66 8K DisplayPort 2m listing rather than swapping unrelated accessories.
The fix is usually to align the KVM, display input and cable format instead of changing every desk item.
Use the R148 UGREEN mDP-to-HDMI adapter only where mini DisplayPort output and HDMI input are both present.

Ryzen mini PC trouble in SA usually comes down to heat, cramped placement, weak accessories, or choosing too little machine for the workload. The Minisforum NAB6 Lite at R4,150 suits lighter fixes, while UM750L and AI-X1-255 around R4,600 give more room for heavier work.

A 2700RPM pump spins its impeller 2700 times a minute to push coolant round the loop. Faster flow moves heat from the CPU block to the radiator, though a quicker pump can be a little louder. The Antec Omni Matrix 360 at R999 pairs it with an ARGB head.
Plug the three pre-connected 120mm fans into one PWM fan header, since they run from a single cable. If the lighting has its own lead, send it to the addressable header, usually labelled ARGB. Evetech's Omni Matrix 360 at R999 follows that same plan.
Targus DOCK402 combines a mobile dock with a built-in GaN charger. Its useful buying checks are host power negotiation, USB-C video support and the single-display limit, rather than assuming every USB-C laptop gets the maximum charging and resolution.
