KVM + Dock

[anthdci]

I am looking for a device that will combine a KVM and a thunderbolt dock into one. I have a decent PC in my office, Ryzen 3900x, RTX3080 etc. I use it for my main job when working from home, hosting my VMs for my side hustle and a bit of gaming here and there. It is hooked up to three 1440p monitors via displayport. I recently upgraded my laptop to a M4 Pro 16 that can easily handle the VMs so I have migrated them to that. The issue that I am finding is that when I am on the PC not having the VMs to hand is a bit of a pain. So what I am thinking would be good, if a bit niche. Is a KVM that can handle both computers running the three 1440p monitors and a few USB ports, that is also a thunderbolt dock. The theory is, most of the time I would grab my laptop and plug it in, but if I've left my laptop downstairs or want to play some games, it is easy enough to get on the windows machine without messing about with cables.

Has anyone heard of such a device?

I use 2 Ugreen Revodocks (Thunderbolt 4), one at work and one at home. They are great, but I've not seen a multi-head KVM.

If they are VMs, can't you use RDP/ssh/X Windows network access, VNC etc. to access them remotely from the PC? I am guessing all of them are in the network. That would be a much simpler solution compared to a complex and expensive Dock/KVM combo. You could even look at using TeamViewer or something similar on the both, so you can remote into the Mac from the PC and vice versa.

Looking after around 200 VMs and 250+ PCs at work, using RDP and TeamViewer is the only way to stay sane! ;-)
