No, it won't work as you desire.

With your setup you connect only video and audio to your desktop, mouse and keyboard will be connected to the laptop only (it works only through USB-C port).

The USB port on the product functions as a USB hub. Please connect the USB C-C or USB C-A cable to the PC.

What will work :

  • You can get everything through USB-C
  • you can connect audio & video through HDMI or DP
  • you can switch audio & video source on your monitor (you can see your desktop on monitor and use the mouse on your laptop)
  • you can unplug the USB-C cable from laptop and plug it into desktop computer to use mouse there. (of course this way your laptop won't be charged)
