Peripheral Switching Solution

McJug · April 6, 2020

Hey,

Recently purchased a new monitor (CJ79 Ultra wide) mainly for it's Thunderbolt 3 input.
Why, you ask? Because I'm a developer and occasionally use a MacBook Pro and I like a nice clean desk; and it's a nice compromise that I can still game on.

The problem:

I have one bluetooth set of peripherals (again... no wires... nice clean desk) for use with the MacBook and I have another set for my Windows gaming rig.

I'm fed up of switching them and it's untidy.

I'm trying to come up with a decent solution to the problem and failing miserably; closest I've got is multi-paired bluetooth peripherals, but that's still annoying and I can only get my hands on some pretty mediocre logitech ones that are even any good. I thought about using a KVM but only really found one; and that didn't support full 85W charging, and it definitely was not cheap. To be honest the KVM option probably wouldnt be a bad idea if I could find one because then the monitor could act as a USB hub for my perhipherals and I could get standard ones.

Perhaps I'm being a little OCD, but does anyone know of a decent Thunderbolt 3 KVM or a different solution that might satisfy my unrational behaviour? :)
