    • Steam Deck w/ official Dock
    • IOGEAR GCS1104 (4-port DVI KVM)
    • generic HDMI-to-DVI cable
    • Wireless (RF) headphones – compatible with Sony TMR-RF912R transmitter; not sure on specific headphone model (it’s the one that came with the transmitter, but I can’t read the model number on the headphones any more since it’s too old)
    • a generic 1920x1080 monitor with DVI input + keyboard + mouse
    • XBox360 controller w/ official wireless PC adapter (USB)

    I got the KVM used in good condition. It’s an older model – but I went with it anyway since it was a drop-in replacement for my 2-port setup and getting it used was much cheaper than their newer models. The newer ones support higher resolution/frame rates though, I think; I know this one won’t do frame rates above 60FPS properly even though my monitor is capable of it when plugged in directly.

    There’s a few quirks with this setup. Probably most annoying is that moving the mouse typically causes computers to wake from sleep (like pressing a key on a keyboard normally does…); I think there’s a way to mask that event off with udev rules but, eh, even a decade or so after getting the original 2-port KVM I haven’t cared enough to actually bother working it out, so I guess it’s not that big of an issue to me… :p
