I have a Dell USB-C Docking Station that I want to toggle between two laptops ( USB-C ports) . Are there USB C KVM switches or USB C switches that can do toggle my docking station between the two laptops ?

Physically plugging and unplugging the docking station between laptops is a pain.
 
Google "USB C kvm switch"

Perhapss omething like the following product link (not a recommendation or endorsement):

The key is to draw a diagram of the required connections being sure to include all ports, port types, and genders between connected devices.

Then look for a KVM that matches the required connections or can do so with an adapter or two if necessary.

Be sure to remember that you will probably need to purchase additional cables.
