I can't control the MacBook via the USB mouse and keyboard connected to the AW2721D?

You can only have 1 USB upstream cable connected at a time. You could try a USB hub and see if it allows you to "split" the USB upstream to 2 different sources.

I didn't connect. was not working
I tried taking the USB Upstream Port cable and connecting to the Ugreen CM314 hub it worked.
But its kind hassle every time when I want to switch between my PC and MacBook need to switch the USB upstream cable.
Any idea how to make it switch with any external?
i wonder why premium monitor like Alienware doesn't have like this kind of features.
