SetupMeld Docking Station Compatibility Matrix Data

Machine-readable compatibility data for docking stations, KVM docks, USB-C and Thunderbolt setups. This release is designed to support decisions about whether a host, dock, display, keyboard, mouse, and switching path will work together.

Coverage

The data uses a fixed field vocabulary covering host support, display capability, display interfaces, switching method, keyboard and mouse channel, peripheral USB capability, clamshell support, Power Delivery, known non-working combinations, official support evidence, and public user reports.

Evidence and status

Active records use one of three source types: officialspecification, officialsupport, or publicuserreport. Verification is represented separately with the statuses verified, pending, or not_applicable. Public-user-report rows preserve evidence strength, independent report count, and conflict variables when available. Historical closed v1.0 rows are retained for auditability.

Limitations

SetupMeld does not currently perform in-house hardware testing. Compatibility evidence is based on manufacturer specifications, official support documentation, and traceable public user reports. Host chip, operating system, firmware, cables, display count, resolution, refresh rate, protocol path, clamshell mode, and power can change an outcome; a pending or unverified field should not be treated as a confirmed compatibility claim.
