Hello everyone, I have a quick question: I use this docking station at home for home office. I have connected my two screens, mouse/keyboard and webcam to it. I used to have an Aten switch in between so that I could switch the screen and USB devices between my office laptop and home desktop at the touch of a button. But since I have a second screen, this doesn't work: the Aten switch only supports 1 HDMI device. I therefore currently use the Lenovo docking station when I switch between desktop and laptop, i.e. I simply plug the docking station into a USB-A port on the desktop and both screens and keyboard/mouse are then connected there.
This works quite well, but it would be mega cool if it could be done without having to plug it in, i.e. with a switch that I can operate at the touch of a button. I would therefore need 1 x port for the docking station (USB-C) as well as 1 port USB-C (laptop) and 1 port USB-A (desktop) as counterparts. Is there such a thing?

Answer

Hi, in principle there are USB-C switches. 
For example something like this: https://x-kom.de/001126282-unitek-bidirektionaler-4k-usb-c-schalter?utm_source=idealo.de&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=price+comparison
This can work with monitors and PD up to 100W in both directions (1>2 + 2>1), I can't say what it does with the other devices (keyboard/mouse/LAN, etc.).
