Received my package quickly from Amazon. I do have another AV Access device called the iDockB30 but it's good for two desktops and a laptop and I wanted the one that can connect to two laptops to have as my work keyboard-video-mouse (KVM). It's easy to set up. Just two USB-C cables that go to the corresponding ports on the back of the iDockC20 and power. The other ends of the USB-C cables will go to the respective laptops. I'm a big Lenovo ThinkPad fan so I have a ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 AMD from my work and a ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD as my personal daily driver. Turned on the unit and works well. Though the T14 had a little issue connecting but once I rebooted it worked fine. I'm able to press the switch on the docking unit to switch between the two with no issue. Looking over the build it looks solid, and the ports are labeled clearly so you know what device to plug into what. There are a decent number of ports in the back and the SD card reader is convenient to have since at my work place, I sometimes need to use the cards to read any external data. I tested out the network connectivity between the two by switching and it doesn't seem to lose the connection which is nice. Since the power distribution is 60W I would only recommend the KVM for use on business class laptops like the Lenovo ThinkPads. It would be advisable that if you are going to be connecting a gaming laptop on it like a Asus Strix G16 or a Lenovo Legion i7 having USB-C ports it will provide enough power if you plan to game on it. I would only use it for productivity work. I hope the next iteration of the USB-C ports on the docking unit will be like USB 4 or Thunderbolt 4/5 but for right now it suits to what I need to it do at my workplace. I do have dual monitors, and they worked great on them. No issue whatsoever since the monitors I have are 27-inch 1080P and a 32-inch 1440P. I have used it for quite a number of days, and I personally like the device. It is working great so far for me and does what I need it to do. Since I do IT work, I like the fact that I can plug in a second laptop and run through items without having to plug in a monitor etc.

I have a Samsung S20, which uses DEX. I switch between my laptop and phone all the time. The biggest reason is that Google Photos on my mobile does better editing than on the desktop.

The AV Access KVM Switch Dock is perfect for users who need to connect multiple monitors and laptops simultaneously. It supports 4K dual monitors with refresh rates of 2K@144Hz and 1080P@240Hz, making it ideal for both office work and gaming. Equipped with 2 USB-C MST ports, 60W PD charging for each PC, a 1G Ethernet port, and EDID emulation, it ensures smooth device switching without resetting monitor configurations. With stable performance and easy setup, this dock is an excellent choice for creating an efficient work or gaming environment.

What a difference this makes, declutters the desk and makes live so easy.

The product arrived quickly, is well packaged, and provides a good selection of ports and for USB, ethernet, and sound. Its purpose is to switch between Windows and Linux laptops: switching is fast, with screens and peripherals reconnecting in between 5 and 10s depending on number of connected items. So far, after a couple of weeks, it appears to be reliable without any screen blanking, overheating or need to reset it. Some things to consider: in Windows, it is very easy to hit the USB resource limit for a single controller with just two screens, webcam, speaker, mouse, and ethernet. In Linux (KDE/Wayland), the order of the two HDMI ports is not presented consistently. In both, it is better not to connect the laptop to the docking station until after it's booted, otherwise you will get an essentially random set of connected devices being presented to the computer. Overall, good for its price, but could be just a little better.
