Thunderbolt KVM

[elimenohpee]

I have a personal laptop and a work laptop (both HP) and will soon be getting a docking station from work to allow me to use dual monitors.  Naturally, I'd like to use this setup for my personal laptop when I'm not working for convenience.  I tried looking for thunderbolt KVM switches but I cannot seem to find anything out there that really does this.  Maybe this is just an odd use case?

The docking station connects to the laptop via a thunderbolt connection.  Is there any reason you couldn't just create a little board with a single pole double throw type switch to route this connection to which ever laptop you wanted to use, or is there something else hidden in the technology that would prevent this?  I'm definitely not an expert on thunderbolt.  Seeing as docking stations are on the order of ~$200, I thought it might be a project someone else would be interested in as well.

Thoughts?

Thunderbolt in the context of a dock is usually carrying video to the monitors and a USB pipe for the docks I/O (less often a PCIe pipe too). Adding a switch is just like unplugging the dock and plugging it into the other computer. "better" KVM switches keep the disconnected computers attached to a set of dummy displays/peripherals so they don't complain about being disconnected/reconnected. This gets complicated when most docks are used as the network connection...

2 docks and KVM the monitors/keyboard/mouse, thats what they are designed for.
