USB-C KVM for Dell Dock?
Is there any kvm that switches JUST usb-c ports? I've got my keyboard, mouse, and two monitors connected to my Dell USB-C (powered) docking station... I'd like to just have something that swaps the usb-c coming out of the dock from one laptop to another, while still providing power to both laptops via USB-C.

Yes, there are KVM switches that support USB-C connections. However, not all KVM switches support USB-C video, so you will need to make sure that the KVM switch you choose is compatible with your monitors.
One option you could consider is the "Plugable USB-C Triple Display Docking Station with DisplayLink USB Graphics". This dock allows you to connect up to three displays, keyboard, mouse, and other USB peripherals to your USB-C laptop, and has a built-in KVM switch that allows you to switch between two USB-C computers.
Another option is the "IOGEAR USB-C Docking Station with Power Delivery 3.0", which also supports two USB-C laptops and includes a KVM switch that allows you to switch between them. This dock has multiple USB-C ports, as well as other ports for USB-A, HDMI, and Ethernet.
Make sure to check the specifications of any KVM switch you are considering to ensure that it supports the video resolution and other features you need.
