Know your gear

This TAA compliant KVM USB 3.0 docking station for two laptops functions like a KVM switch, enabling you to share your keyboard, video, and mouse, and transfer files between your docked laptops.

Shared Docking with KVM Control
Connect two laptops to this dock to share dual monitors, a keyboard, mouse, and peripherals. This KVM docking station lets you control two laptops and share two monitors and several peripherals between them while they’re docked. The docking station features:2 x monitor ports (DP and HDMI)*, 5 x USB 3.0 ports, 1 x Gigabit Ethernet port, and 1 x headset port.

Transfer Files Between Your Laptops
Instead of transferring files to the cloud or external storage, the docking station lets you quickly and securely transfer data between your docked laptops, using Windows Easy Transfer or the included PCLinq software.

Fast-Charge Your Mobile Devices
The USB 3.0 dock’s always-on USB fast-charge port lets you charge your tablets and other mobile devices, even if your laptops aren’t docked.

Convenient Display Options
This USB docking station gives you the option to connect a single 4K display instead of dual displays. Set your laptop workstation up with dual monitors (1x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI), or for higher resolutions, connect either a single HDMI or 4K DisplayPort monitor.

Easy Installation, Simple Switching
Compatible with Mac and Windows USB 3.0 equipped laptops, the KVM docking station includes two USB 3.0 cables for quick installation and features an easy-access button for easy switching between laptops.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great on my two Dell laptops! I have a 2014 Dell XPS L702x home laptop running Windows 7 and a 2018 Dell work laptop running Windows 10. I have Bose speakers plugged into the audio jack, a USB plantronics headset, USB Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro, USB Razer Lachesis mouse, and a 2018 32" monitor. Everything works with no issues!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice docking station, KVM less so Just got this set up with two Lenovo laptops, and two Dell monitors. The video quality is fine, though I haven't tried any sort of gaming or videos. There is no perceptible lag in display or mouse function. The laptop screens run at native resolution, and each of my two monitors run at their native 1920x1600. The network driver works, as do the USB ports. Where it gets weird is when you switch from one laptop to the other. The KVM function here drops the network, USB devices, and monitor connections from the laptop that isn't being viewed. Most KVMs make all connected computers think that their peripherals are still attached, even the computer(s) that aren't selected. This one doesn't. So if you're streaming music, or doing some sort of network application when you switch away from a laptop, that stops working, as the network connection goes away. Plus, the de-selected laptop reconfigures its display setup back to its native display. When you switch back, it again reconfigures back to multiple displays. This isn't a deal-breaker, as both laptops can use wifi, so I don't need the ethernet. That solves the dropped network problem. And the dropped monitor thing just costs a few moments while the laptops reconfigure, but this could be seen as a feature, not a bug. It's actually nice to have all apps visible on the laptop display when the other laptop is using the monitors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Frustrating screen flicker Have tried two different monitors and the common factor between both of them when they start turning pink or flickering is the docking station. Directly connected to the laptop and there are no issues. Connecting thru this docking station and the issue starts. Looking for something different now to replace this. So frustrating!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from impossible to work impossible to work as the monitors are flickering every 5-10 maximum 20 minutes, mouse and keyboard start lagging at these moments. tried different laptops and different monitors - same issue. hard to use even with one laptop as it seems to be constantly disconnecting/reconnecting..

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great so far but need help with one thing I have this set up in my office and it works well switching between my work and home PC on my 4k TV. However, I need to disable the internal drive that contains the PCLinq software (I don't need the software) . My work sees this as an unencrypted device and blocks my access. Other than that, I am quite happy with the product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does what I needed I've been using this product for almost 3 years. I allows me to switch between my company laptop and client laptop an leverage my two large monitors and peripherals for both. My company recently upgraded us to surface pros and happily the SP setup took less than 5 minutes. The only issue i've had a few times is getting my logitech usb mouse to work properly....but upgrading the mouse software seemed to do the trick.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 3 years and still love it This is a great KVM/Dock combination. I telecommute and use 1 port of the KVM for my work laptop dock and the 2nd KVM port for my personal PC.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works as expected Brought this week to be able to switch easily between my home Windows desktop and my work Macbook. Did have some issues with the windows PC lagging but that was due to the fact that the BIOS was converting USB3.0 ports to 2.0.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked for the first couple of days Well I have 2 monitors and 2 laptops. setup the device and I was able to switch between my work laptop (dell lattitude) and my personal laptop (acer). But now when I switch to my work laptop the 2 monitors do not come on. I have uninstalled the drivers and the software that gets installed on my work laptop but no luck. I have only had this product for about a week now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Warning - not a very good KVM When switching between computers the windows on the desktop get moved and resized, every time I switch between machines I need to rearrange my desktop. Tech support says it is the fault of DisplayLink and nothing can be done to fix it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works without a hitch I bought this in April 2019 to facilitate switching between my personal desktop and my work laptop, with dual 27" monitors. I have plugged every peripheral I have into the dock and have not had a problem - very much recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So happy to have this one It works so well. Don't know why it's so hard to find.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from As advertised, zero problems Reading some of the problems others have had, I was unsure how reliable this station would be. After nearly a year with zero problems, I am delighted with this product. I have 2 Dell XPS laptops, a Dell widescreen monitor (DisplayPort), Canon scanner, desktop speakers, Gigabit LAN, and Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. I switch between the two laptops a few times each day, it takes about 5 seconds, and it has worked flawlessly every time. I have two requests for future models - a front panel USB location for wireless keyboard/mouse receiver (I use the side located USB currently), and a digital audio output.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great if you know what you are doing and the I use this with a Lenovo and Dell notebook. i work for 2 companies and need to switch between the 2 laptops all the time. i got 2 x Asus screens connected with a Razer keyboard and Roccat Mouse and it works like a dream. what you need to understand is that this is a Dock with a KVM function where it allows all peripherals to switch from 1 PC to another. so when you switch from 1 device to another, it disconnects all the devices from 1 device and connects it to the other device. so if you are using a hardwired network cable and still need the disconnected device to work, its best to connect via Wifi
