AV Access KVM Switch Dock for Laptop and 2 PCs - Dual 4K Docking

In this review of the AV Access KVM Switch Dock, the bottom line is simple: this is for professionals and power users who need to run a laptop plus two desktops while using dual 4K displays and sharing USB peripherals with minimal fuss. The unit's biggest advantage is that it combines a true dual-monitor KVM with a USB-C docking workflow, including up to 65W laptop charging and Ethernet passthrough, so a single USB-C cable can simplify a multi-computer desk without sacrificing video quality or peripheral access.

Key Features

• Dual monitor support: The switch accepts a USB-C MST laptop input and multiple HDMI inputs so you can view two monitors simultaneously from any connected source.
• High resolution and refresh: Supports up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 and high refresh modes like 1080P@240Hz for responsive gaming or smooth desktop motion.
• USB-C docking capability: With a single USB-C cable the device can deliver dual video, data up to 5 Gbps and up to 65W laptop charging for a cleaner desk setup.
• Shared USB and power output: Three USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 port allow sharing of keyboards, mice, storage and a high-power webcam via a rear USB 3.0 port that supplies up to 5V/1.5A.
• Fast switching and EDID: Automatic wake-up, EDID emulation and switching by front panel, IR remote or keyboard hotkey make changing sources take only 2-3 seconds.
• Included cables and remote: The package includes power, HDMI, USB-A to B and USB-C cables plus an IR remote so the unit is ready to install out of the box.

Who It's For

The AV Access unit is ideal for users who run mixed environments: a USB-C laptop as the primary workstation and one or two desktop PCs or a game console as secondary systems. Designers, software developers and streamers who need dual-monitor output and fast source switching will appreciate the combination of docking features and KVM control.

It is less well suited to Mac users who expect independent dual-monitor outputs over a single USB-C connection, because macOS does not support USB-C MST so the displays will duplicate rather than extend. Also, if you need more than three source devices or over 65W charging, look for a different dock or a dedicated KVM with higher power delivery.

Pros & Cons

Pros
