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.

It does not require additional power sources for the two laptops; it powers them simultaneously through the Thunderbolt Type-C ports, reducing wire clutter. Setup is straightforward: connect the monitor via HDMI, connect the two Type-C cords to the laptop's Thunderbolt ports, then connect the power source, and the functional unit is complete. There are many spare USB ports to support peripherals. It helps a lot when switching between laptops. So far so good.

This is a fantastic dock/kvm. I had an older one that required two separate Dell docks, with a rat's nest of wires connecting everything to two different laptops with dual sets of HDMI cables, dual power supplies, dual ethernet, a dedicated ethernet switch, and dual everything else. This eliminated about 90% of the mess and simply plugs into both via single usb-c to each, one ethernet cable, one power supply, and it works great with my dual LG monitor setup, my usb dock, and my space mouse for CAD work. Very pleased with this purchase. Note: it doesn't come with a remote switch, I had to order that after the fact. I didn't notice that when initially ordering the kvm, but it's not expensive.

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.

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 👏

Excellent product. Works perfectly well.

Works well for 2 Windows laptops within only a USB C cable to them. Both show a weak charging status, but at least they still charge. It looks nice and fits under the monitors. Has a lot fewer cables than the other ones and response rate seems good on the monitors for office related work.

I’m happy I didn’t cheap out on this and go for something of a poorer quality. This is a formidable device, a high build quality and brilliant signal quality. It happily powers my smaller work laptop from the USB-C (not my gaming laptop though, but I knew this) I also bought the wired button switch which makes a huge difference. Overall, excellent. No regrets at all about the purchase.
