AV Access Dual Monitor KVM Docking Station for Laptop & Desktop(iDock C10) | GbE, EDID, 5xUSB-A, HDMI 4K@60Hz USB C KVM Switch 2 Monitors 2 Computers, 60W Laptop Charge, for Home Office Workstations

Quite expensive, but it is very good...no issue at all

The AV Access iDock-C10 has been a practical solution for managing my dual-system setup. I regularly switch between an M1 MacBook for work and a Windows gaming workstation, and finding a KVM switch that supports both consistently has been challenging. After trying several other options with limited success, I had resorted to using two keyboards and mice alongside switching inputs on my main display. The real challenge always seems to be passing the EDID for the Mac through a peripheral, and this dock just hasn't had that issue, and consistently passes accurate display information to the Mac. The iDock-C10 has made a noticeable difference and freed up a lot of space on my desk. The setup was straightforward, and it works reliably with both machines. The USB-C connectivity is particularly convenient for the MacBook, allowing for video, power, and data transfer through a single cable. Even though the Apple silicon machines reintroduced an dedicated HDMI out, it's nice to just have one cable to dock it. Switching between devices is quick, and I haven’t experienced any connectivity issues or delays beyond the an expected brief moment for the keyboard and mouse to re-engage when being accessed by the alternative machine. I do appreciate the fun trick of being able to mount an external drive to one, eject it, and then have it show up on the other. A little thing that I wasn't even looking for. I will mention that I use a single display externally, and I believe this might not support two separate displays (from my mac at least) from the documentation. So keep this in mind. My set-up actually calls for a duplicated display because I send it to a projector to do video/media work in my home studio. So, the way this outputs from the mac is a feature for me, not a limitation! I really appreciate the compact design, which keeps my workspace organized, and the device handles peripherals like my keyboard and mouse without issue. I really prefer a full mechanical keyboard, and this has allowed me to keep only one out... with a little special key remapping on my Mac, I use the one I got with my tower. While no device is perfect for everyone, the iDock-C10 has been a solid addition to my setup and has streamlined my workflow significantly. It’s definitely worth considering if you’re looking for a reliable KVM switch for a mixed Mac and Windows environment. For me it's been a five-star experience, and a real relief to have found something that does what I need without a lot of consternation. Would get again.

It works perfectly. Exactly as described, fast switching between my usb-c laptop and my "legacy" connection desktop with two monitors.

会社用ノートpcと個人用デスクトップpcを切り替えるために購入しました。どちらもwin11です。 この手の製品を色々試した中で、1番良い感触です。ハブを使用するとciscoのWEBカメラ（USB3.2）がよく動かなくなったり、画面の画質劣化やノイズが発生しますが、この製品は一切問題ありませんでした。 WQHD2画面でしっかり映像も映ります。 切り替えも4秒ほどですぐ操作可能になり、usb接続しているマウスやキーボード、マイクも問題なしです。 気になる点を挙げると、ノートpc出力映像のリフレッシュレートが120から60に下がってしまいました。デスクトップの映像は144でます。 業務に使ううえではリフレッシュレートを必要としていないので問題ありませんが、ちょっと残念です。 また、本体の物理ボタンではなくホットキー(ctl-ctl-enterのような)に対応してたらありがたかった。本製品はおそらく未対応。 色々なkvm付きハブに苦しめられてきたので、思い切って3万円払いましたが、ちゃんと動きます。正解でした。 ---3か月経過後追記 本製品を介してのモニター接続時、G-Syncが使用できないことに気づきました。私の目は節穴なのか、まったく気づきませんでした。 また、そこそこの頻度で、Windows版Apple Musicの起動と停止時にモニター①の映像だけ2秒ほど途切れるという不思議な事象も発生するようになりました。 この製品を使用しないと途切れませんし、Apple Musicを除くソフトの起動停止では発生しないので、とても不思議です。 このような事象が発生しても、他社製品と比較すれば圧倒的にマシなので、不満はないです。

Edit: Going to elaborate a little more on the product. I'm still keeping my below review even though it's not great, I was just excited I figured it out. If you're computer don't need to exceed 60hz, just plug and play. If you are like me, I have a 240 hz OLED ASUS gaming monitor and generic dell for my two monitors. My desktop is a high end gaming PC. Plug and play just like the above, however, in order to use your 240hz while gaming, you need to also utilize the 3rd DP port on the monitor that will plug directly from the 3rd DP on your desktop to the 1st DP port on the monitor. I only use one monitor when I'm gaming. If you go into setting, you can find the fake 1st and 2nd monitor that your desktop is picking up and disconnect them. This will allow you to start up your PC through the DP port (to use your 240Hz). When you switch to your laptop, it will pick up the KVM docking station ports. This is how I'm about to use this KVM switch to switch between work and gaming while still being able to utilize my 240hz monitor, even though this particular docking station goes up to 60hz. Hope this helps any of you nerds reading this. Enjoy. Original Review below: This might get buried with the other reviews, but listen up! I have a Thinkkpad work laptop and legion gaming computer. I bought and returned three others before settling on this guy. It was what you need. Easy to set up and works as advertised. Plug in the applicable cables. You need to make sure your desktop graphics card has at least one HDMI, as the other slots are for 8K. The box remembers how you like your dual monitor preferences, I turn off my second monitor on my desktop and keep it on for my laptop, no issues switching. It takes a second or so to switch over, but does so with ease. Each port transfers over seamlessly. It charges your laptop and has the ethernet port for it. The only thing is that the ethernet port is for the laptop only! I fixed this by purchasing a $15 ethernet switch. It is a little more expensive than others, but worth it.
