any KVM switch boxes out there that work with Thunderbolt 3? i have an LG 4k ultrafine and a cheap ViewSonic connected to via HDMI to my mac mini and when im working its connected to the Lonevo via its Thunderbolt and the HDMI on a dock my job supplied. Kinda hate disconnecting the thunderbolt wire all the time when i switch computers... i know, i know 1st world problems!

Anyone know of a KVM switch that would work in this scenario?
 
I've not seen one that can drive an UltraFine.

Teething problems. DisplayPort 2.0 might make this better since it uses USB-C for the physical port. But who knows how backwards compatible it will be.
 
does your ViewSonic have multiple inputs?

I switch monitor inputs and then have a separate IOGEAR GUS434 switch for keyboard/mouse:

 
I use this Starview DisplayPort KVM and TB3 to DisplayPort cable and connect to an Acer DM431K 4K monitor. It supports dual 4k monitors but I found it cheap on eBay for much less than the Amazon price and use it with a single 4k.

And if I ever go back to dual monitors it will be supported.
