Simple USB-C Splitter for Dual Laptops

Question

I have two Dell Laptops with USB-C input, where a signal from a doc station allows me to access multiple monitors and other peripherals. Right now, I have to manually connect the output from the doc into one of the laptops.

I want to find a simple switch (one input to two outputs) where I can switch from one laptop to the other. I don't even need power through this, just a switch.

THANKS!

The problems with these kind of setups are that

1. Manufactures of dock want you to use their branded cables plugged directly to your computer. IN my case dell tech support declined support while I was using a good quality Belkin cable and to my surprise when they shipped their cable it worked,

2. products available online are from non reputed vendors (Most Chinese) rebranded ones.

Here's one such KVM switch

Now if you dock's cost is almost the same as this KVM switch, better get another dock.
