AV Access, a leading provider of Pro AV and AV over IP solutions, is proud to present its latest innovation, the iDock C10 KVM switch docking station. This versatile device combines a dual monitor KVM switch and a 12-in-1 USB-C docking station, enabling users to control their desktop and laptop with two monitors and multiple peripherals, and switch between them seamlessly.

The iDock C10 4K KVM switch is designed to meet the needs of both home office and gaming enthusiasts. It features a USB-C (MST) input port for a laptop and an integrated HDMI + DisplayPort input port for a desktop computer. It also provides shared peripheral ports including 3x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0, 1x USB-C, 1x SD card, 1x LAN, 1x Toslink out, 1x 3.5 mm headset, and two HDMI outputs.




With the full-featured USB-C port, users can enjoy dual 4K ultra HD video output and data transfer at speeds of up to 5Gbp/s, while charging their laptop (up to 60 W) simultaneously.

AV Access iDock C10 also supports high refresh rates like 1080p@240 Hz and 2560x1440@144 Hz, delivering smooth and immersive gaming experiences. Moreover, with the automatic PC wake-up and EDID emulation functions, users can switch between two PCs in just 2-3 seconds with a simple press of a button.

"For a limited time, iDock C10 is available at only $199.93 on our official site, with a 23% discount. It is the perfect gadget for building a powerful workstation at home, whether you need to work, learn, or play," said Bill Liao, CTO of AV Access.

"the Ultimate 4K..." dock with DP 1.2 and HDMI 2.0? ‍♂️

So no 4k/120Hrz and nor VRR. How do you recon this is for gamers?
It depends on how much video bandwidth you need. This dock supports DP 1.2 at 21 Gbps and older HDMI 2.0 at 18 Gbps, so 4K/60Hz max.
Forget about 4K/120Hz.

If you need a simple KVM switch for 2PCs-to-2 monitors with HDMI 2.1 at 48 Gbps, DP 1.4 at 32 Gbps for 4K/120 throughput, below is one example. I have this one at home.

For <200$, Laptop input is 20Gbps, and it may do 4K120 at 4:2:0... not bad, but DP 1.4a output or at least being able to use that front usb-c for DP 1.4a would have been nice.

A TB4 KVM dock would be nice, but KVMs with USB-C are super weird and unreliable these days for some reason. I do like https://www.store.level1techs.com/products/hardware but man are they pricey

Pretty weird to limit it so much to just a laptop vs a PC. I would think they would put HDMI and/or DP on both inputs. Why USB-C for one and HDMI and DP for the other? Why laptop and PC only? What about every other combination of devices someone may want to switch between?
So weird.
I was recently looking for a switcher between xbox and PC. It could be this. But, nope.

I get that it's a kvm but no thunderbolt? And worse even, only 60W PD and freaking DP 1.2 in 2023!?!?

There is a large market for mid tier and lower end hubs globally, just like in other segments. Nothing unusual. The only glaring thing is BS marketing lingo and price. $200 for older video and data standards is nonsense.

And $200 is the discounted price...
