i know... but it's the only option to do it all in one cable, because other ports on his laptop don't support both a monitor and a keyboard

Ok, so you have a USB C 3.1 port on your laptop, is that correct? If so then that IS capable of outputting to DisplayPort. See the specifications here:

 

https://www.displayport.org/displayport-over-usb-c/

 

For data rates, see here:

 

 

So by plugging the hub into the USB C 3.1 port, you would be capping data rates to 10Gb/s 5Gb/s instead of 40Gb/s that Thunderbolt3 supports, but it should carry the DisplayPort signal.

 

Or better yet, you could just use a USB C hub instead of a Thunderbolt hub. Like this one:

 

https://www.amazon.com/TOTU-Ethernet-Laptops-Windows-Support/dp/B07Q9JXWTP

 

EDIT: I just noticed that it's gen 1 you have, so data rates will be capped to 5Gb/s, however, it will still carry a display signal. They make USB C Gen 1 to DisplayPort adapters like this one:

 

https://www.tripplite.com/usb-3.1-gen-1-usb-c-to-displayport-4k-adapter-usb-c-pd-charging-port-thunderbolt-3-compatible-4kx2k~U44406NDPC

 

Or this one:

 

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1427595-REG/plugable_usbc_dp_usb_type_c_to_displayport.html

 

Either way, the amazon link above should work for your needs.
