StarTech Dual-Laptop USB-C KVM Docking Station - USB-A, USB-C, DisplayPort

Dock and Switch between two laptops to access your workstation peripherals including dual monitors, seamlessly switching between laptop computers with the push of a button. The downloadable Hot-Key software (available for Windows and macOS), enables users to switch between computers using key combinations from their keyboard. The KVM dock is ideal for work-from-home applications where users can access their business and personal computer from the same workstation.

DisplayLink Certified:
The dock is DisplayLink Certified, for Plug and Display compatibility with Windows, ChromeOS, and macOS. The KVM dock makes it possible to use distinct operating systems on the connected host devices, enabling you to operate and switch, for instance, between a Windows and a Mac laptop. DisplayLink technology also supports extended dual displays on Apple M1/M2 MacBook which are not natively capable of driving more than one external display. The DisplayLink Certification guarantees easy connectivity to the docking station and a multi-display setup with support for resolutions up to 4K 60Hz on both external displays. Perfect for software developers and IT technicians who require access to multiple platforms for testing, or content creators using more than one system for different tasks.

Simultaneously charge two laptops:
The KVM docking station supports Power Delivery 3.0 and charges both connected computers over USB-C. The dock supplies 90W of power to the active host computer and 45W of power to the second PC. This ensures that both laptops can be charged simultaneously and quickly, making it easy for users to keep their devices powered up throughout the day. The Power Delivery feature eliminates the need for separate charging cables, reducing clutter on the desk and simplifying the workspace.
