Anker Docking Station, KVM Switch for 2 Laptops, Dual 4K Monitor 554 USB C Docking Station, with HDMI and DisplayPort, Max 100W PD, USB 3.0, Audio for Lenovo Laptop, Macbook, iPad, Steam Deck and More

This device is phenomenal. I picked it because I couldn't find any other KVM switch that would support switching between two laptops and charging both of them via USB C. This devices claims to do so and it does so perfectly. I actually live in the UK so had a friend collect this for me and bring to the UK. The transformer workshere perfectly (as is now almost standard, it supports both 110V and 220-240V) and I just needed to provide my own clover power cable.My set up is with a Surface Pro 8 and an HP Elitebook 840 G11 and there are no issues. Both devices charge perfectly - there are no warnings from the Surface Pro but the HP does throw up a notification to use a genuine HP charger. I have simply turned off that notification.In terms of time to switch device, the mouse takes about 4-5 seconds to become active when the switch is pressed whereas the HDMI monitor takes about 6-7 seconds to switch over. I am perfectly happy with this. I can also confirm that I have successfully added an Anker USB hub and a USB hub too without issue. Therefore, I also have a Kensington keyboard, HP laserjet printer, Logi Brio, Logi mouse, Jabra Speak 510 and Logitech H820e all connected without issue. All bar the printer are via the hubs

I am a relatively technologically capable individual. I did my research on KVM's and decided this was the best shot at getting one that worked and didn't cost me over $600 USD.My setup:Dell work laptopOlder ASUS personal laptop2 HP monitors with only HDMI inputsMy goal was to be able to switch between laptops and USB inputs for both monitors in the push of a button. When I hooked up my monitors using an HDMI to DisplayPort cable, that monitor did not work. Fair is fair, as they said not to use those cables once in the description.So, I had someone bring over 2 monitors that had both HDMI and DisplayPort inputs just to see if I needed to get new monitors. The KVM worked perfectly on the HDMI out just as it had before, but the monitor that was hooked up with the DisplayPort cable would not recognize the proper resolution of the second monitor. I tried resetting drivers, updating drivers, contacting the support staff, and switching cables on the displays. Nothing worked. The resolution would never actually be recognized, and so I was left with black bars on the sides of the screen.I went to Reddit, of all places, to find that this KVM, even though stating it can handle it, could not properly show anything over a 30Hz refresh rate. At that point, this KVM would be more expensive than your monitors or you would notice the difference from dropping your PC settings.If you are not constantly having to switch back and forth between computers and just are trying to change things without having to unplug and move cables, stop overthinking it. Your monitor most likely has more than one input, just change the source on the monitor. To make sure your USB devices switch, there are USB switchers for pretty cheap on here, I got one from UGreen for $40, and it even has the remote switch.If you have to constantly switch between monitors throughout the day, this is not for you. The best option is going to be something that is at least going to set you back $600 or more.The only redeeming thing about this is that the switch included is magnetized. Still kinda useless if you don't have something metal to attach it to, but I did. So, yea. That's worth a star, I guess.

This stuff works, and I absolutely love it. I work from home and keep work and personal stuff separate on different laptops. My work was connected to all the peripherals in an ergonomic way, while my personal one was just using on the side as needed. However, I was starting to get neck and back pain. I purchased this device, and I absolutely love how easy I can switch between my laptops with a touch of a button. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that although it says it comes with a USB-C cable, it did not, and I had to purchase it separately.

**Updated review: After my initial review, Anker immediately reached out to me to see if there was a way to resolve my issue. They ensured a full refund, if I was not completely satisfied and were willing to give me a discount if I would keep the unit in spite of my issues. I totally appreciated the responsiveness and empathy from their customer service. As an aside, I did check with my internet service provider (AT&T) and found out that my Wi-Fi settings were not optimized for video conferencing. Once those updates were made, I have had no issue with video conferencing using Wi-Fi connection only. It made me very happy that I was able to keep the Anker unit, because the only reason I was going to return it was because I thought I need to have an ethernet port. It is worth noting that the other KMV unit I was thinking of keeping had issues with one Dell monitor flickering. The Anker unit has no such issues with the same monitors and is very stable with switching between systems. Overall, the Anker KVM is much easier to set up, minimal wires, and I really like the little magnetized switch that I can stick to the front of my system for easy access in order to toggle between systems. Honestly, I am willing to go with a product even if I have to spend a little bit more when I know that the company stands behind it and is supported by a responsive customer service. It has been almost a month of using the item, and I am very happy.----For my consulting business, I need to toggle between my personal computer and my client computer. Because I work with data and large spreadsheets in both systems, a dual monitor set up is a must have. It was drama to swap wires several times a day--lag time to switch, wires would pop out. The Anker KVM switch fixed all of that. The lag time to switch between systems is negligible. Set up was intuitive with the quick start guide. I wished there was a couple more ports, or the option to order one with more ports -- I can't plug in my ring light and there is no ether port, which leads to my next issue. I previously was wired into my home Internet and subsequently, had a stable signal for video conferencing. I have already noticed that my video freezes several times during a meeting, tested both on Zoom and Teams so far. My job is 90% meetings, so to not have the ability to have a stable connection is a miss for me. I will be returning this unit and getting another that has an Ethernet port. If that's not something that matters to you, I highly recommend this product. It may seem pricey, but it delivers as promised.
