Dell U3419w. Usb c clarification

[413x]

Looking at this particular monitor

Its More Expensive than its peers but the usbc is attractive as my surface has usb c

How do peripherals work?
If I plugged my mouse into the monitor USB standard port would my main desktop be able to use it when it's on, but the laptop also be able to use it if it was plugged in?

Ie

Laptop (usbc) monitor USB hub (USB out) mouse
Desktop (USB in) monitor USB hub (USB out ) mouse

Could those two setups work?

I do believe so. I had the Dell U3415W and the manual described connecting two computers to the USB hub on the monitor. You can then associate each upstream USB source with an image source. This'll mean your downstream peripherals will be switched between PCs when the display source is switched.

That is pretty awesome if that's the case . I have to talk to dell about it direct

Looks like there's something similar in the Dell U3419W manual:

1. a. Connect one computer: connect the upstream USB 3.0 port (cable supplied) to an appropriate USB 3.0 port on your computer. b. Connect two computers*: connect the upstream USB 3.0 ports to appropriate USB 3.0 ports on the two computers. Then use the OSD menu to select between the two USB upstream sources and input sources. See USB Select Switch. 2. Connect the USB 3.0 peripherals to the downstream USB 3.0 ports on the monitor. 3. Plug the power cables for your computer(s) and monitor into a nearby outlet. a. Connect one computer b. Connect two computers 34 │ Setting Up the Monitor * When connecting two computers to the monitor, the monitor's USB downstream ports for the keyboard and mouse can be assigned to different input signals from the two computers by changing the USB Selection settings from the OSD menu.

The big thing is that there's two USB upstream connector ports. Most ultrawides (like my current one) I suspect only have one.

Looks like. It mentions kvm switching so which I think is the thing I need.
