Is there a USB switch I can connect the docking station to, and then a cable each to my PC and Desktop? The docking station has host charging, so it charges my laptop, so I guess the USB switch needs to be powered, or not?

I saw this one which has good reviews.

The USB standard definitely evolves, technically USB A and USB C are just the shape of the plug

Interesting that this setup will work, but it sounds like you've done extensive research to confirm it will work so you should be good with your plan!

Thanks again for all the help. I bought the USB switch and works like a charm! Only thing that doesn't work is host charging of the laptop, the docking station was charging the laptop as well when connected directly, so need another cable to charge that.
