I really just wish I had a USB-C KVM I could use with my laptop (or even better: tablet)... I can't find much, and what I find is a bit bonkers. I ended up buying a license to Orion, using USB-C→HDMI capture card with a Startech VGA→HDMI converter (which requires USB-A power)... in order to achieve a semi-passable KVM (but, without the K and the M...). I paired with a USB-A Hub and a keyboard and mouse and it kinda works but it's an incredibly janky setup... ... the fact that many servers still output VGA is baffling.

Comet Q works well, if the usb c port supports DP-ALT

  That looks like an interesting device. I'm more talking about being able to attach a normal laptop to another computer though, without any IP/Networking requirements.

    Cheap 4K HDMI/VGA-to-USB input boards and reverse HID cables are available. Betwen the two for $50 - they turn your laptop into a Moniitor, Keyboard and Mouse for a random computer.
