The CalDigit TS4 that I favor is back in stock:

I’ve understood some people have had some minor issues with it, but for me it’s been pretty much perfect.

@caseyliss cc @thomasfuchs - in-lieu of a true KVM, this is at least a one cord solution to go across machines.

@film_girl @caseyliss @thomasfuchs this, albeit with an older cal digit 3 is my KVM solution between a work issued Mac Studio, work issued 16”mbp, and my personal little xps13 running Linux. Works great and I get to use the same keyboard, mouse, audio, webcam etc across all of them.

@ShamylZakariya @film_girl @caseyliss @thomasfuchs Do you just manually swap the various cables yourself or is there some slicker way of doing it?

@Jordon @ShamylZakariya @caseyliss @thomasfuchs everything is plugged into the CalDigit. Swap one cable to the other machine and it can now access all of your monitors and input devices and whatnot

@Jordon @film_girl @caseyliss @thomasfuchs Yup, just swap out the cable like a caveman.

For a while I used a magnetic quick-release (think magsafe) thunderbolt socket for convenience. It was pretty good, but the strong magnet caused trouble with the wifi on one of my laptops.
