Proposed Work and Home Setup sharing Magic Keyboard/Trackpad, LG 5K, and USB/TB peripherals between two macs


  • I drew this diagram up, I might have confused TB up and down ports, but I'm hoping this is feesible:

    My assumption is that the KVM and the Caldigit dock are smart enough to agree that no power delivery needs to go between them.



  • @CS Marshall Well, let us know if it works!


  • @Sabrent isn't the whole point of pre-sales questions for me to ask questions and ya'll help to answer them, I'm confused :/


  • @CS Marshall We can't know for sure with Caldigit hardware. You would have to see if Thunderbolt 4 allows this in its spec and if the Caldigit is Thunderbolt certified, which it probably is. Both laptops have to use a port with DP Alt Mode and if this is passed through correctly it in theory should work.
