Manufacturer description
The MLEEDA USB C Switch solves a specific two-machine problem: letting a work laptop and a personal desktop share one USB-C monitor without unplugging cables every time you switch. It's bi-directional, so you can run it the other way as well, and a single button press (or the included wired remote) flips the active source with an LED showing which machine holds the display. Video tops out at 8K@60Hz, with 4K@120Hz and 1080p@165Hz modes for gamers plus ultrawide support up to 3440x1440. Data moves at 10Gbps and the switch passes 100W charging, so your laptop keeps powering over the same link…
