Another product that IOGEAR announced at CES 2023 is a new keyboard, printer, and mouse switch that suppors multiple displays, and is designed for professional applications.
Most multi-monitor KVMs only provide a desktop extension from a single computer, but IOGEAR's KVMP can offer extension and matrix modes to increase productivity. While its extension model still expands the desktop to two screens, the matrix mode allows people to see the contents from different sources on each screen.

Users can push the mode button on the front panel or the remote port switch module to toggle between the extension and matrix modes. To streamline the keyboard/mouse control process under matrix mode, the device has "Crossover Switching."
When the mouse moves to one targeted screen, the keyboard and mouse automatically focus on the connected computer. This eliminates the complication and confusion of traditional push button or mousing wheel switching.
Designed for professional applications, it delivers 4096x2160 resolution at 60Hz on both screens in matrix and extension modes with HDMI ports.
Other features include an audio mixer to mix two audio sources as audio output and the ability to control and share USB 3.0 peripherals between two computers.
IOGEAR expects to launch the new KVMP in March 2023 for $529.95.
