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
