Input Switching (i.e. KVM switch) with Studio Display

Hi,


I'm wondering if there's a 5k switch Thunderbolt 3 switch that will work with the new Studio display, that will allow me to share one mouse, keyboard, and screen between my Macbook Pro and a Windows/PC.


These two seem like they might work, but would limit to 4k?

This Sabrent model and Iogear model will not do it. It's only for 4K USB-C monitors, a 10 Gb/sec spec and not a 40 Gb/sec connection like the Apple Studio Display needs. There are no Thunderbolt 3 switches/KVM available. Just because it uses the same connector, doesn't mean it's the same function.
