I want to switch between my work computer (2019 MacBook Pro) and home computer (2017 MacBook Air) and use the same peripherals and connections: - USB mouse - USB keyboard - Monitor - Ethernet (optional) - Charger (optional) Is there a dock or charging station that would allow me to switch between these? Based on an older [question](https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/265917/using-a-usb-c-dock-with-older-macbook-pros) , it seems that trying to use the Thunderbolt 2 connection for the MacBook Air would not work, but would a USB connection work?
