Editor's analysis

**Selling Point:** This USB-C switch lets you seamlessly share a high-end monitor or docking station between two computers with fast 20Gbps data speeds, 140W charging, and convenient remote control switching. **Trade-offs:** The 20Gbps bandwidth is half that of modern docks, which may reduce display count or resolution in multi-monitor setups; it requires using the included cables and works only with compatible monitors/docks without built-in pigtail cables; and Mac users are limited to 4K@60Hz versus Windows' 8K@30Hz. **Verdict:** Buy if you have two USB-C laptops and a compatible monitor or dock you want to share, but pass if you need maximum display flexibility or plan to use non-standard cables.
