Neat!

I use a similar setup where I literally have a single USB cable that gives me access to everything: monitor, keyboard, mouse, lighting, camera, microphone.

I just need to plug the cable in the computer I want to use. However, I do need to change the input on the monitor as one of the them is connected via HDMI.

USB connectors have a terrible plug/unplug lifespan.. I have a few computers where the USB ports can't be used because they have been unplugged too often.

Might just be USB-A, I haven't looked at the other specs
