Video & Keyboard pass-thru input #18

Don't think I've ever seen this feature on a laptop, but I'd love to have a laptop with a video/keyboard pass-through that I could use at the datacenter, and be able to toggle that feature with a function key. It's cumbersome to locate crash carts, and/or locate a mouse and keyboard, and I would pay a decent amount for a laptop that could perform this task.

That is a very interesting idea. If it would be possible to make one of the USB-C an output for the keyboard/touchpad and change it so that the displayport/hdmi was an input. I have no idea if that is electrically possible without huge headaches, but a neat feature. I could then use it as a TV for my PS4 that I use as a portable.
