The software KVM works ok if you absolutely must have two systems running side by side. So when you are trying to control the Windows desktop, the k+m is physically plugged to the Mac but the software KVM in the Mac talks to the software KVM in the PC to translate your k+m input.

And you have to install a software KVM from LG ( LG Dual Controller Driver) into both the Mac and the PC. In this case, the USB-C is plugged to the Mac. The monitor can display both Windows and Mac side by side. Yes, it sounds inconvenient to unplug and plug, but it’s no big deal in practice, as I am just unplugging it from the Mac and into the converter at the back of the PC. In this case, the USB-C cable essentially acts as a mouse-keyboard cable for the PC. This converter is permanently plugged into USB-A port in the PC. When I am using the PC, I will unplug the USB-C cable from the Mac and plug it into a USB-C to A converter (included with the monitor). This cable also display the Mac desktop into the monitor and charges the Mac. When I am using the MacBook, I plug the USB-C into the Mac and it detects the keyboard and mouse. My Windows PC is connected from HDMI (in the PC side) into HDMI in the back of the monitor(*).
My mouse and keyboard is plugged into the two USB-A ports at back of the monitor. I understand it’s pretty straightforward on all the monitors to switch from the Mac to the Windows machine (and back again), or even split the monitors, but I’d really like to run these with a single keyboard and mouse I’d have a MacBook Pro on the TB3 / USB-C input, and a Windows machine using the DP input.
