Very good KVM for its stated use case
I've had this KVM switch for about a week now, using it on 1 Windows laptop and 2 Linux PCs, and so far I am loving it. The time to switch is pretty quick, the usb and monitor connections have been stable, peripherals responsive, etc etc. As in most KVMs, all you have to do is press the relevant button to switch, so it's super easy to use. In particular, I enjoy that fact that it comes with a remote for switching between your computers, which enables you to place it far away from your monitor setup if you choose. It still has the traditional button switches on the hardware itself, so use of the remote isn't required and you can just ignore it if that isn't your cup of tea.Currently the only downside to this KVM I can note is its cable situation. It only comes with 2 HDMI cables, though using it to its full capacity requires 6 for 2 PCs, and 4 for 1. I had forgotten that my previous KVM (also from this company, and that one came with all required cables) was DisplayPort, so I ended up having to scavenge spare cables, whcih I luckily had enough of. Additionally, the USB C cable for the thunderbolt connection is rather short, so unless you have a replacement for that, you're limited to where you can store your laptop in relation to the KVM.I know that comparing KVMs can be pretty daunting, so here is some additional information and clarification that anybody searching may want to know.Going back to the HDMI point, if you're a hard-core gamer with really good monitors and hardware who really needs a KVM with high redolution and high refresh rate, this won't fit your use case. This company does have DP KVMs with high resolution that you should look into instead.This KVM docking station is for 2 PCs and one laptop. Technically speaking, that doesn't actually limit you to that configuration. What it does mean, in practice, is that 2 of your connections will be USB A with 2 HDMI connections, and one will be a USB C thunderbolt connection, which includes the monitor connection. If you have a laptop with HDMI ports, or a desktop with a motherboard that has a thunderbolt connection (though I don't know of any that do) then you can hook those up in that way.Although it says iDock, and a lot of the marketing seems to be for Apple products, it is working beautifully on both my Windows and Linux machines. I didn't have do download any drivers or proprietary software (rare these days), and it works straight out of the box.There are dedicated USB ports on the front of the KVM for mouse and keyboard peripherals, as well as audio jacks for headsets and microphones. On top of these, There are extra USB A connections, which can be used for any other paripherals you want to use among the machines, and are particularly great for use with external storage. Anything you don't care to use with more than one of your machines, I'd recommend plugging directly into your connections on that machine.

Easy setup, stable connection.
Everything work well after a quick setup. My laptop uses one usb c cable connecting to the switch, the hdmi ports output to my monitors at 4k 60hz without issue. All the included cables are up to spec I don’t have to supply any of my own. Input switching is quick and without any hiccups. The box looks slick and does not take up too much space. There is a huge power brick though.

Works and described
So i bought the iDock B30 I know how they lump these reviewes together but i am only reviewing iDock B30.Personally i didint care about the cost I needed the function it provides as i work from home from several machines. The function it provides faaaar at weighs the cost.If you are reading this chances are you just want to know does it work and are there any issues. So Yes it works great and yes i found a few issues so far. Obvioulsy no reason to list anything about how well it works you are only interested in the bad.1) On the front of the device they have 2 USB connection that are labeled with visual indicators that 1 is a keyboard input and the other a mouse input. Well for some reason the keyboard input will not recognize my keyboards... they light up but the keyboard taps dont make it to the screen. If i plug the keyboard into the mouse port than it works fine. I have tried with 3 different keyboards and same issue. However the work around is to simply plug the keyboard into the mouse USB port and the mouse into the keyboard USB port. Not a deal breaker by any means.2) If I am working on my desktop and my laptop goes to sleep due to power management policy it causes my keyboard and mouse to disconnect on my desktop even though i am not using that device(laptop). It causes my desktop to beep as if a device was plugged in and i lose mouse and keyboard for 1-2 seconds.Other than that i am happy with my purchase but its only been a little over a week.

High Quality KVM for 3 devices Excellent Support
I have a project which required me to use multiple devices and iDock B30 was the right KVM for my needs. The iDock B30 high quality and It comes with required cables:- Power Adapter- 2 HDMI cables- 1 UCB 3.2 type C to C cable for Laptop- 2 USB 3.0 type A to USB B cables- Remote control with batteryConnecting my devices was easy and straightforward.The KVM functionality very helpful and support charging the laptop connected to USB C (PC1). Switching between devices very convenient and can be done using front panel buttons or using the remote included or using Keyboard Hotkeys. Switching time takes 2-3 seconds.I highly recommend this KVM for anyone have a laptop with 2 additional PCs and need to use same monitors, keyboard and mouse for all. It makes switching so easy and convenient and keeping the laptop charged is a plus as well.Update on 18-Sep=2025I needed support for a concern and both the customer service and the technical team are excellent and efficient.TOP quality and excellent support. Keep it up

Hardware Failure after a few months
Purchased in late October and the device had worked as intended for about two full months. Now in January, the front USB ports have failed. It is not wear and tear; the same USB bluetooth dongles haven't moved since initial set up. I am outside of my return window now.
