The accessory offers a total of 11 ports, including two for your laptop: 100W USB-C PD-IN, offering 85W pass-through charging, and 4K@60Hz USB-C with a 5 Gbps data transfer rate.

The Anker KVM Switch also has a 4K@60Hz HDMI input and a USB-C 3.0 port with 5 Gbps transfer for the Desktop.

On the front of the accessory are one USB-C 3.0 and two USB-A 3.0 ports with a 5Gbps transfer rate and two USB-A 2.0 with a lower rate of 480 Mbps.

The KVM Switch comes with a 3.3 ft (~1 m) USB-C to USB-C cable, a 4.9 ft (~1.5 m) USB-A to USB-C cable and a 4.9 ft (~1.5 m) HDMI cable. It is worth noting that the remote has a magnetic backing and a 4.9 ft (~1.5 m) cable, allowing you to attach it to a metal desk frame, and is covered by an 18-month warranty. Compatible devices include those running Windows 10/11 and MacOS 12 and above, iPads and Steam Decks. You can now buy the Anker KVM Switch (4K, For Desktop and Laptop) for $99.99/£109.00/€129.99.
