StarTech KITBZDOCK – Dual-Host KVM Docking Station for Two Laptops

Overview :

The StarTech KITBZDOCK is a specialized hardware solution designed for professionals who manage two laptops simultaneously, such as a work and personal machine or a development and testing unit. It solves the inefficiency of swapping cables or using multiple sets of peripherals by integrating a KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch directly into a high-performance docking station.

This dock allows users to share two 4K 60Hz monitors, a keyboard, a mouse, and other USB peripherals between two connected USB-C or Thunderbolt laptops. With a single button press or keyboard hotkey, users can toggle control from one host to the other. The dock also provides Power Delivery (PD) to both laptops, ensuring they remain charged without requiring individual power bricks. It features a robust port selection, including 10Gbps USB-A and USB-C ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and an SD card reader.

Optimized for software developers, IT administrators, and home office power users, the KITBZDOCK streamlines complex multi-system workflows into a single desktop footprint. It is compatible with Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS. It is not recommended for laptops that lack video output support over USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode) or for users requiring more than two external displays.
