I needed a KVM switch to drive x3 monitors from both a work laptop and a Mac Studio. The product info says that the D23 only works with desktops and DP connections, so I was a little reticent to purchase, but took the chance. On arrival it didn't work - only two monitors and many peripherals not connecting. I emailed the AV Access team who came back to me within 24 hours with solutions. (For those with similar setups: 1/ connecting the D23's USB-B inputs to the computers (cable supplied) in addition to the DP inputs solved the peripherals issue, and 2/ to resolve the issue with the monitor connected through HDMI, I replaced my passive DP>HMDI cable, with a £25 Startech active DP>HDMI adaptor). Now everything works - and it's amazing! Being able to switch at a click of a button all three monitors (+audio adaptor/mic +webcam +Stream deck +prompter) is game-changing. The device itself has a high build quality, and looks nice on my desk. I may still invest in the clicker button. The service from AV Access was quick and friendly (thanks Johnny and James). I got the feeling that they genuinely cared to solve my issue, and was left in no doubt that if not resolved there would be no problem returning the item.

Since covid, I must have tried every permutation to get a convenient home working setup that easily switches between a work PC and home mac. Every solution to date has had compromises that niggle on a daily basis. Finally I have a working setup with 3 * 24" IPS screens, webcam, wireless headset, wireless keyboard and wireless mouse that switch between a mac mini and work laptop with a single button. All inputs and outputs are to the back of the switch box and I've got multiple devices connecting in via an unpowered USB hub so this keeps the desk environment uncluttered and cable free. To make the user experience even better, switching is possible via keyboard shortcuts. I could move the switch box out of sight but it's handy to have USB sockets on the desk for occasional keyboard/phone charging. The only thing that would make this better is if all video connections were HDMI. If you don't have displayport connectors on your source device (or in the case of the mac mini, the third output device needs to be USB), most converter cables are directional and in the wrong way. Whether you're looking to get a mac or work laptop connected to 3 displays, a USBC hub with 3 displayport connectors appears to be a good solution. Have found HDMI to displayport cables (both powered and unpowered) to be unreliable.

Just arrived yesterday and I’m already very impressed. It does everything it says it would, plus one or two things it didn’t say it could! The switching is seamless, the elimination of window resizing, sharing of peripherals - including a bluetooth mouse that is now shared across all devices (connected to the unifying receiver plugged into the Dock). One thing the product description doesn’t tell you is that it will support an ultra wide monitor at 3440 x 1440. I was forced into buying a new hub after my old one died, and now I wish I’d had a 2 laptop hub a long time ago. Well done AV Access 👏

I'm interfacing with Apple monitors via USB-C (Thunderbolt) connections. Despite testing multiple certified cables and a range of compatible adapters across both devices, I’ve been unable to establish a functional display connection. If you have a similar issue and found a solution, I would be happy to discuss further with you.

I was given a laptop from my work, and I am working mostly from home. I have a very specific setup (monitor/keyb/mouse/chair/desk/sound) which I wanted to keep using with my work laptop, so I decided to buy the iDock. Most important factor was the ability to display 3440x1440@165Hz via the DP port, and it was the best choice at that range. Good quality, as it is described, no problems in general, works fine. However it misses few features that would be nice to see in future models. -No power switch. Apart from the power consumption, which is low, but still, why being on 24/7? Also, both my keyb/mouse are LED illuminated, therefore they are on 24/7. Fortunately they are in my office, but if someone have their PC/Laptop in their bedroom, that could be a problem. -LAN is always connected, even without a cable attached. This wouldn't be an issue in most cases, however my laptop is heavily locked by my employer, and when I connect it to the iDock, reverts the connection there instead of WiFi, and I cannot switch back (company policy). I had to ask my support to disable the USB-to-LAN adapter in Windows to properly work, as there is no way to disabled on the iDock -When I have both computers connected and on, while one has two monitors connected but the laptop just the main, and I switch it, all windows from my main screen, on my personal PC, move to the secondary monitor. This means that the signal sent to a connected PC when you switch to another, is that this monitor is disconnected, which again, is not a good practice. It shouldn't change anything, just "hide" the signal. Overall it is a very good solution, even though it is missing the above features. I am not sure if any other has them in this price range.

I’m happy I didn’t cheap out on this and go for something of a poorer quality. This is a formidable device, a high build quality and brilliant signal quality. It happily powers my smaller work laptop from the USB-C (not my gaming laptop though, but I knew this) I also bought the wired button switch which makes a huge difference. Overall, excellent. No regrets at all about the purchase.

Product works great, thanks to Kevin for the fast and helpful response for technical support setting this up on my setup.

Pros: * Connected USB devices seem to be working well. * Comes with all the cables required to set it up, all decent quality. * The optional remote looks great, and has status LEDs to show which host is active for setups where the KVM itself is hidden from sight. Cons: * The 165Hz 1440p variable refresh rate display started to drop out 2-3 times a week after using the device for roughly a month. * The USB side is a mess. It somes up as a composite device with a bunch of virtual peripherials, but it keeps randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. Luckily it seems this does not affect the connected USB keyboard and mouse. * Their forum contains a thread with the same issue, but there's no resolution there. * Contacted the customer support, they asked me to send the device to them with all accessories, and they've sent me back a new one afterwards. The replacement has the exact same issues.
