Laptop Power Supply
Customers have generally positive feedback about the laptop power supply feature of the Anker Docking Station, KVM Switch for two Laptops. They appreciate that it powers and charges both laptops while allowing switching between them, making their work more productive with dual monitors. However, some customers mentioned that there is no way to turn on a laptop using the hub as their only complaint.
Fast Kvm Switching
Customers have mixed opinions on the KVM switching feature of the Anker docking station, but generally positive. While some users find it easy to set up and switch between two laptops with minimal latency, others mention that it can be a bit finicky during setup and wish for additional ports. Overall, the KVM switch is praised for its convenience in managing multiple devices in a home office setting.
Usb Device Compatibility
Customers have mixed opinions regarding the USB device compatibility of the Anker Docking Station. While some users report seamless connectivity and easy switching between multiple devices, others have encountered issues with specific devices and operating systems, particularly Macs. Some customers were disappointed by the lack of clear support and troubleshooting resources from Anker.
Highlights
Quality
This docking station works and made my work more productive with switching and giving me two monitors when i need it with the laptops.
Stellar product, great build quality and very good user experience.
A simple initial mistake i made was plugging in the usbc cable and use the hdmi as the only source going out, doesn’t work that way.
The monitor has a kvm built in, but the interface is clunky and you still need either a dock or multiple cables.
Price
A little pricy but well worth it if you're buying new
After searching high and low, this was literally the only thing that could do what i wanted for not outrageous pricing.
This workaround is very simple however and the adapter i got to add was only $50.
Otherwise i think it is a great value and it works well.
Shipping
This is because apple still hasn't invested in multi-stream transport (mst) and they still only support single-stream transport (sst).
Customer service was easy to reach and sent out a second very quickly, it was the wrong one as well but got that fixed without issue.
The power delivery is also a nice touch.
Packaging/appearance
Only the power brick and power cable, plus the usbc to usb a cable were in the box.
My only real complaint is that the cables it listed in the box, were not in fact in the box.
Competitiveness
I feel confident with this one compared to the no name branded ones because anker hadn’t let me down yet.
This product is fantastic compared to other kvm switches.
The quality is way better than any other kvm i tried even though this one is pricey.
With more people working from home, i can't understand why more companies aren't making these types of devices.

Its disappointing to see a lot of negative reviews that are complaining about limitations that are clearly explained in the product description

My only complaint is that there doesnt seem to be a way to turn on your laptop using the hub
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The power button only turns on the hub itself
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Theres lots of cheaper usbc kvm switches out there but the cheaper ones only supply power to whichever laptop is currently selected
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
That makes no sense to me the one you dont use as much is going to drain its battery or you have to run separate power cable to each laptop which is ick
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This supplies power continuously to both laptops no matter which one is currently selected for kvm

I was having a lot of issues with my laptop responding slowly
