Dual screens - KVM ideas

[newpersn]

Hello.

 

One of my sites are wanted to use a desktop and docking station in a few shared offices so staff have the option of docking there laptops or using the computer within the office.

 

Does anyone recommend any devices that will do that?

 

Desktop is Dell Optiplex 3050/3060 with DP/HDMI outputs

Laptop dock is a Dell WD19S with 2xDP and HDMI outputs

 

Monitors have DP/HDMI inputs.

Could you connect both dock and PC to the monitors. Switch the input with the inbuilt controls. Then connect the mouse and keyboard via Bluetooth to both devices?

 

Not a great solution though.

I was thinking that but it's wired mouse and keyboard that would let me down.

Can you get a USB-C card for the desktop that would allow you to just move the docking station back and forth?

Or we've used "USB switches" like this before to share a keyboard and mouse between machines:https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B097QQRY65/. Perhaps it could combine with FM-GM's idea.

I'm guessing something like this but it's not particularly cheap...
