Backstory (tl;dr easily switch between my computer and phone (android desktop mode) with the push of a button).
I have the button, but the USB the cables seems to need to be juuuuust right for desktop mode to kick in.
The plan is to affix a USBC phone stand to my desk that I can just plunk the phone in there without fiddling with the cables every time. I tried the MCON Dock but the USB is apparently charge only.
Any products out there anyone is aware of?

I have my boss's blessing to use a personal machine but at the same time I don't want to make it obvious to everyone when I'm doing personal tasks, so the plan is to get a USB-C switch connected to the docking station and a micro-PC tucked under my desk I can quickly switch to.
Any suggestions for mini hardware that only needs a USB-C connection? It does not need to be powerful, since I'm really going to be using it as a web browser.
