Two-computer KVM dock
The SW521 lets a USB-C laptop and a desktop share one keyboard, mouse, three USB 3.2 devices, SD and microSD cards, and two HDMI 2.0 monitors. It is aimed at users who split time between a work laptop and a personal PC and want a single desk setup without replugging cables.
Push-button or remote switching
Connect the laptop through a USB-C port with DP Alt Mode and the desktop through two HDMI cables, then add the included 12 V 1.5 A power adapter. The most common issue is a laptop USB-C port that lacks video output, which prevents the dock from delivering any picture to the monitors.
4K 60 Hz dual display headroom
The dock drives two screens at up to 4K 60 Hz and steps down to 4K 30 Hz or 2K 120 Hz when needed. On macOS the two HDMI outputs mirror each other, so extended desktop across both monitors is not possible. Bandwidth tops out at 10 Gbps on the USB-C data port, limiting the fastest external SSDs.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the SW521 is switching video correctly after connecting both computers?
The front LED indicators show which system is active; press the push button or wired remote and verify both monitors display 4K at 60 Hz from the newly selected computer.
Which cables and accessories are included with the SW521 and what must I provide?
The box contains the switch, a cowhide box, neck card, USB-C data cable, USB-A data cable, 12 V 1.5 A power adapter, wired remote and English-German instructions; you must supply two HDMI cables for the monitors.
My laptop only has USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 — will the 10 Gbps USB-C port on the dock still work for data?
Yes, the dock’s USB-C 10 Gbps port is backward compatible, so it will operate at the 5 Gbps speed of your laptop’s USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 connection.
