AV Access KVM Switch Dock 2 Monitors 2 Laptops, 4K KVM Switch Dual HDMI Monitor, 2 USB-C MST Ports, 60W PD for Each PC, 1G Ethernet, EDID Emulation, 2K@144Hz,1080P@240Hz,Ideal for Home Office & Gaming

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.

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.

Outstanding KVM with just the features I needed. I have several different brands of older KVMs but the AV Access is sleek, small, and completely functional. It even has an IR switch in case you place the unit out of reach. The provided cables are of very good quality. I'd made a wiring error when hooking everything up and hit their web site to see if they had troubleshooting documentation online. A little chat window opened up. I expected some sort of sales bot, but typed in "troubleshooting" and to my surprise was immediately connected with their Technical Support group. The support engineer Kevin was really excellent - honestly, among the very best experiences I've had dealing with support. No scarcely trained staff reading from a support flowchart, Kevin knew the product extremely well and was equipped with graphics of the unit showing what needed to be done. I was up and running in no time. I'll be replacing the older, bulky Belkin units - reliable, yes, but just way oversized - with AV Access KVMs. Thanks AV Access for a great, well designed and well built unit - and thanks, Kevin, for your patience, competence, and for getting me up and running in record time.

Using it for almost 20 days now, so here is my honest opinion: 1) First let's discuss setup: I have a personal "gaming" ROG Zephyrus M16 (2022) with 3080TI. I have some none name company Dell laptop with Ryzen 7 4750U. Laptops are using Windows 11 Pro and Windows 10 Pro correspondently. Next monitors: Internal gaming laptop have 2k 165Hz display. Internal dell laptop 1080p 60hz. External Dell monitor G3223D 2k 165Hz and Asus VA27EHE monitor with 75Hz refresh rate. 2) Review: Pros: * I don't think there is anything on the market that have 2 USB-c input and can work like a hub, so this product is the only choice! * Device split ethernet connection between both laptops so your "inactive" device will be always online. * Tons of ports, should be enough for any regular user. * Device is emulating screen for "inactive" laptop and you won't have problems with messy windows sizes/icons movement all around the desktop/strange RDP behavior and etc. Cons: * My Dell 2k 165hz monitor is NOT working in 165hz mode not it's working in 144hz mode. It's shows artefacts only and I verified that connecting it via second USB-c port directly to laptop fix the problem. HDMI cables are also good 2.1 standard cables so at least 144hz refresh rate should work, but it is not. * Device is not working with my other thunderbold-4/usb-4 type-c cables. I am not sure why, I understand that instruction says to use only original one, but why??? And when original one will wear out what I will have to do????? * Device does not support DDC/CI pass though so you will not be able to change your monitors brightness, and even my old semi-working messy Baseus hub supported that! My eyes will never recover from that :(((((((( * Other reviews mention that device get hot and this is partially true for me as well. But when I connect gaming laptop to original power break (99% of the time) looks like internal USB-C power supply can get some rest and kvm switch getting less heat and it's getting just warm, not hot hot. * Other reviews mentioned that switch between laptops can take up to 5 seconds. This is again partially true for me: 1080 display got online in 1.5 second, but the main 2k display took around 3 seconds. * Device mention "wake up" function, but it's not working for both my laptops, and I triple checked USB wake-up settings * When you turn off your laptops and than turn them back on they didn't find the external displays before you disconnect USB-c cable and connect it back. Sometimes it takes 2-3 attempts before it starts working. * For some reason I wasn't able to run all 3 displays: rather internal or 2 external. This might be the way how it works or even my laptops hardware limitations but still good to share for those who expect that setup to work. Resolution: it might look like device have more cons than pros from my review, but as I mentioned before AV Access is the only company that offer smth like. This is the only company that filled the niche and did that not badly. If we would have competitors with same price tag I would give product 3 star, but since they are the only one who "cared about us" — it's 5 stars minus 1 as regarding all cons. I am sharing the review not to stop other customers but to share feedback to the company so next generation of devices or maybe some kind of firmware upgrade will improve the quality.

Excellent unit. I have two laptops each with a USB-C connection that I needed a KVM switch for. Seems this is an oddball combination, but this KVM switch nails it. Good size, clean and solid. I also got the remote switch and it sits right beside my keyboard for easy and quick switching. I anything, I wish there was an additional USB port with power on the front to connect a device that needs charging. If you have two laptops with USB-C connections that support the necessary DisplayPort protocols, this KVM switch is for you. Note: There are other reviews noting about an inability to use the same wired network connection (can only be used for one device, the KVM can't switch that). Network protocols could never support that function to start with, so it's not really a negative on the switch.

Excellent product. Works perfectly well.

Just arrived yesterday and I’m already very impressed. It does everything it says it would, plus one or two things it didn’t say it could! The switching is seamless, the elimination of window resizing, sharing of peripherals - including a bluetooth mouse that is now shared across all devices (connected to the unifying receiver plugged into the Dock). One thing the product description doesn’t tell you is that it will support an ultra wide monitor at 3440 x 1440. I was forced into buying a new hub after my old one died, and now I wish I’d had a 2 laptop hub a long time ago. Well done AV Access 👏

I absolutely love this kvm. It works seamlessly with 2 laptops and 2 monitors. I noticed when I plugged it in, it worked awesome but was always warm and hot. I reached out via chat to the company and they promised they had it QA tested and is supposed to be fine. Then my monitor screens started flickering and I never had that issue before. I use this for work and personal laptop. The first month was good but the second month teams video calls all of a sudden stopped working and my internet connection would stall but this was when I realized the kvm was running extremely hot. The issue was I had to be in the meeting and ended up using my phone which is not a good work around. I left it on overnight and the next morning it was extremely hot, even when I wasn’t using the laptops so kept an eye on it. After work I left it on and running but it overheated and shut down. I unplugged the power source, waited for it to cool down, powered it up and was working again. I got my usb fan and put it beside the kvm to keep it cool but the monitor flickering was horrible, it overheated again and I believe because of the heat it shut down. I’m using 2 DP ports and the usb-c cables provided. I switched to 1 DP and 1 HDMI and still screen flickering was happening. I really love this kvm and tried to make it work but due to the overheating, screen flickering, and screwing up my video calls I had to return back to my old regular docking station. To improve this kvm if there was an on/off switch to turn it off at night instead of manually unplugging the power cord this would be a huge benefit. Another improvement is the overheating. If there was a way to keep it cool without using a usb fan, and if the heating issue itself was resolved I would buy this again. It worked amazing when it did work. But when it started having issues, it was issues nonstop and I’m sad cause I love this KVM. I was also worried about the overheating as it shut down 2x on me and I can’t have that happening.

I'm interfacing with Apple monitors via USB-C (Thunderbolt) connections. Despite testing multiple certified cables and a range of compatible adapters across both devices, I’ve been unable to establish a functional display connection. If you have a similar issue and found a solution, I would be happy to discuss further with you.
