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 Anker docking station works exactly as I need it too. It has plenty of connections to connect two separate computers and use shared monitors and accessories. It has one input specifically for laptops which features USB-C in at 65W, so it can replace your laptop charger. The second input also has USB-C as well as HDMI and DisplayPort for the monitor. Output wise, there is one HDMI and one DisplayPort, both capable of 4K60hz. And both ports can be used simultaneously for a dual monitor setup. As far as inputs, there are 2 USB-A 3.0, one USB-A 2.0, and one USB-C connections as well as a combo audio/mic port. One glaring omission however, is an ethernet port. I had to add a separate dongle to my setup since I prefer a wired connection for my work from home setup. Setup was actually relatively easy. I just plugged in my keyboard, mouse, and webcam into the input ports, and then one usb-c to my laptop and a usb-c and hdmi to my desktop, and that was it. Once I started up my systems everything worked seamlessly. You can switch between systems easily using the button on the front of the device, or more conveniently, the attached wired remote button. I opted for he latter option that way I could hide the actual device out of sight and better organize all the cords. Then, the only thing I have showing on my desk is the small remote button. I honest spent more time rearranging my desk and computers than I did actually getting the docking station set up and working. I highly recommend this docking station for anyone wanting to use two separate computers but only one set of monitors and peripherals.

I've been eyeing a KVM for a while so that I can easily switch between my work laptop and my home desktop. There couldn't be a better solution than getting this!There are many KVMs out in the market, but very few accommodate people who have a laptop and a desktop. I had a slight hiccup and glitch with this when I initially powered it on before connecting any display cables, but after power-cycling it, it's been working very well.I love that this is essentially a (ethernet-less) USB-C docking station that can switch input for use with a desktop. There's just nothing else like this, so this review maintains a positive rating.However, I don't like that the wired switch remote is not detachable. The only PC selection button and indicator are built into this remote, so the lifeline of this product is 100% tied to this cable. I will need to take extra care when transporting this or when moving the remote around. In the event this cable and remote break, there's no other way to switch inputs because the button on the body is a power button. This review loses a star because of this oversight.If this had more USB ports, it would have been great! In my setup, all three USB-A ports are taken up (with mouse, keyboard, and audio interface). If I need to add additional HIDs, I'd need to swap it with other devices or invest in an additional USB hub.

**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.
