Main riskLaptop outputs and monitor-setting retention (EDID)
The practical answer
Use the iDock D23 only after proving the work laptop and dock can drive all three displays independently. The KVM can switch three streams, but it does not add streams. Its lack of monitor-setting retention (EDID) emulation also means this setup needs careful window-management testing.

● Compatible with stated limitations
What this means for you: It is the catalogue's three-monitor option with high-refresh support, high dynamic range (HDR) and variable refresh rate (VRR), but does not keep monitor information active while switching, so displays may reconnect and windows may move and no laptop charging.

Product-specific limits
Each computer must provide three independent DisplayPort outputs; the KVM cannot add missing display streams.
5120×1440 is stated up to 120Hz and 3440×1440 up to 165Hz.
monitor-setting retention (EDID) emulation is not supported, so displays may reconnect and windows may move when switching.
It is designed for desktop PCs rather than a single-cable work laptop.
The work-laptop dock must expose three genuine display streams.
The gaming PC needs a dedicated output and cable for each display.
does not keep monitor information active while switching, so displays may reconnect and windows may move means desktops may reflow when the inactive host loses the displays.
Recommended setup sequence
Test the laptop and dock directly with all three displays.
Assign high refresh only to the gaming monitor if bandwidth is tight.
Connect one complete path per display through the KVM.
Test window placement, wake, USB audio and webcam recovery.
