    The solution I settled on was swapping between my personal and work laptops with a thunderbolt cable that connects to a dock. The dock is connected to my keyboard, trackpad, webcam, and monitor. It’s been working like a champ for the past 3+ years.

      Came to share this setup too, though I’ve managed to keep the doc in the monitor.

      Very neat and fun project though, and good to know there’s a nice solution if the need every arises.
