Cable Matters 20Gbps USB4 USB C Switch for 2 Computers, Supports Up to 8K@30Hz on Windows, 4K@60Hz on macOS, 140W PD, for Sharing a USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 Monitor/Dock, Works with Thunderbolt 4/5 Laptops

I had to change my review. Initially, it did refuse to start then after two days it stopped working.It turned up that the cable supplied are or became very directional.Yet, there is no indication of that on the cables themselves, the manula, the web page, the Amazon page, unless I missed it.The main thing is that now it works flawlessly!It is now connected to an old (but absolutely wonderful) Apple Cinema display ca. 2011 by two extra adapters (The Apple display crazily has a non remomovable mini DP only (told you that is an old display). At the other end is connected to a Macbook Pro M4, and the other system is an old MacBook Pro 2016 running WIndows 11 through Bootcamp (or sometimes booted to Monterey).It has been working now for two months, switching seamlessly for two months (of course now I marked the ends odf the cables!).My apologies to Cable Matters, and a plea to mark the seemingly directional cables so that they can be correctly connected and explain that in your instructions.I was tempted to give less than 5 stars, because of that, but it does exactly what I need, hence 5 stars.

Wasn't sure if it would work as expected with my setup, but it does! I needed to switch between a MacBook Pro and a PC, with an Apple Studio Display. All my peripherals are plugged into a CalDigit TS4 dock, and both computers are plugged into the Cable Matters dock via the provided USB 4 cables. The MacBook still gets charged thanks to the CalDigit dock, still 5k@60hz, the Studio Display camera still works, and all peripherals work as expected. With one click and ~5s, everything switches to the PC perfectly, with both computers having a SINGLE USB 4 cable!

if you know what you have already this is cheap and cheerful. Takes a few seconds to switch but works great. Be warned you need a power hub to run it and it hasn't got the power to power newer laptops but still great .

Works well with thubderbolt 3 usbc docking station and thunderbolt 4 usbc laptop. Must use the cables provided

Works perfectly switching between a Mac Mini 4 and a Windows laptop to an Apple Studio Display. Removes need to switch off and change cables, and enables both to be used at same time. As mentioned in another review, it did not work with the Apple cable from the Studio display, but did work immediately when changed to supplied Cable Matters cable. Remote is useful as allows switch unit to be placed in position where access not easy to switch.

After having such a high hope in purchasing this. It was such a let down. It couldn’t switch properly with my docking station and monitors connected. I have returned it.Wouldn’t recommend it.

Does not perform 5K@60Hz as stated. You'll get 4k resolution max. I returned the item for refund.

I have a Windows laptop and desktop. Both have USB-C, but only the laptop has USB-C that also carries video. As such I have to unplug both my screens every time I want to switch the dock over to the desktop, and plug them back in again to switch to the laptop. I also have to switch the cable from the dock into my desktop/laptop.Bought this on the premise that it would turn my existing Lenovo ThinkPad USB-C dock into a USB-C KVM, but it just isn't doing that. For a bog standard setup (I see a lot of reviews mentioning multiple Macs into a _single_ screen) this will probably work fine.Just a note: If your dock supplies your devices with power (i.e. if your dock charges your laptop when plugged into this) this won't work anymore. The device has a sticker on that states the USB-C connection into your laptop does not also charge it, so you'd have to have another PSU.Packaging is... fine. Cables seem of good quality. Device is quite light (not that that's a measure of quality or anything. I don't like the fact that you have cables (quite stiff cables tbh) plug into the front and the rear... it's hard to find a space on a desk where this would look neat (maybe if you mount it under the desk? the remote control for switching would certainly be helpful there).Will be returning it.
