Yes, it is definitely possible, but it comes down to how you route your connections between the two PCs!
The Iiyama ProLite XUB2797QSNP-B1 is well-equipped for this set of requirements. For Daisy Chaining (MST), you will use the DisplayPort Out connector to run a DP cable to your second monitor. Keep in mind that MST daisy chaining over DisplayPort requires DisplayPort 1.2 or higher, and your PC graphics card must support MST (which almost all modern integrated and dedicated GPUs do).
For setting up the KVM switch with 2 PCs, you should set up your connections as follows:
- PC 1 (Laptop/PC with USB-C): Connect via a full-feature USB-C cable (supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery). This carries your video signal, charges the laptop, and connects your peripherals (keyboard/mouse plugged into the monitor's USB hub) to PC 1.
- PC 2 (Desktop/Second PC): Connect via DisplayPort (or HDMI) for video, and run a separate USB Upstream cable (USB-A to USB-B/USB-C depending on ports) to connect the monitor's USB hub control to PC 2.
Once everything is plugged in, the monitor's built-in KVM allows you to switch input signals and automatically route your USB peripherals between the two systems with a quick OSD menu button press.
When I’m not tinkering with dual-monitor office setups, I like to unwind by checking out leisure and local travel guides like

Hope this setup helps clean up your desk cables! Let me know if you run into any resolution/refresh rate bandwidth limits with MST.
