LG Input Switch

Switch monitor inputs from your system tray or keyboard on Windows and Linux. Use LG’s alternate switching method or standard DDC/CI commands for compatible monitors, including Dell.

Features

  • Named profiles for one monitor or a group, with an input choice for each monitor.
  • Cycle, previous-input and direct-action shortcuts, plus linked KDE Plasma shortcuts.
  • Automatic input detection, custom mappings and per-monitor results with retry.
  • System/light/dark themes, optional startup and built-in diagnostics.

Download and setup

Get the latest release.

  • Windows x64: download the portable .exe and run it; no installation is needed. LG alternate switching uses AMD graphics; standard DDC/CI is available for compatible Windows connections. See Windows setup.
  • CachyOS / Arch Linux: install the .pkg.tar.zst package and launch LG Input Switch. Uses ddcutil; native shortcut integration requires KDE Plasma. See Linux setup.

Add your monitors, review the detected inputs, and save. For grouped actions, choose an input for every monitor. See profiles and shortcuts. Back up your settings and quit the app before upgrading.

Monitor support varies, and advertised inputs can be incomplete. Linux testing has focused on CachyOS/KDE; physical Windows testing is limited. Intel/NVIDIA raw-I²C Windows backends and macOS remain future work. Use known input codes for your monitor; commands are sent directly to the display.

Help and development

For troubleshooting, open Diagnostics → Create report, review it, then copy or save it with your issue. Reports stay local until you share them. Check for app updates in Preferences → Application updates.
