Another KVM Question - DELL Work Laptop with DELL Dock + Desktop

Posted by bigrig_64@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 2 comments

I haven't had my desktop going for over a year and would really like to have it up and running again! Right now I have limited space and need to utilise 1 desk for home and work.

I have a DELL K20A dock that I connect my Work Laptop (Also Dell) into via USB-C connection.

I have searched a fair bit and there are heaps of answers and varying kvm suggestions, not all of which are available in AUS.

I initially thought I could just use a 2monitor 2pc kvm and have 2x2hdmi in from the Dell dock and desktop pc. I don't understand how the peripherals will work on the laptop through the kvm to the dock. Assuming it might be the usb from the kvm to the dock, I just know how difficult the dock can be somethimes swapping from Laptop display and peripherals to external display/peripherals.

Has anyone got a similar setup and can shed some light on how this would work or a better suggestion on how I can set it up? Even if I can remove the doc entirely if that is an option.

Preferably with items available in Aus.

Cheers 🤙🤙
