I'm normally quite good at finding things that I need but this has got me stumped.

I've recently had a new monitor delivered which has realy impressed me as it has a USB Type-C input which will also power my laptop.  It also has a built in USB hub so I'm able to have my mouse and keyoard plugged into the monitor and then only have a single USB Type-C lead plugged into my laptop.  This makes my desk look so much tidier.

As well as my Windows laptop I also use a Macbook.  It's great that I can just swap over the single lead to switch between the two laptops but it would be even better if there was some sort of switch I could buy with 2 inputs and one output so I could just press a button to switch laptops.  It would be a bonus if it provided power from the monitor to both laptops all of the time but this isn't critical.

Does anybody know of anything that i can used for this?
