Edit.. I forgot about my work laptop. 3 machines
Looking for a sharing (likely KVM) Solution.
I have (or will have soon) 2 monitors and 2 windows PCs (laptop and desktop) that I want to share.
Ideally I'd like to be able to have both on, 1 screen each, one on, both screens.
I'm not sure how capable KVMs are. Is it more all or nothing? Ie you would need just have a KVM for the peripherals and switch monitors on the screen itself?
Both screens will have multiple at least 2 DP/usbc connections.
I'm assuming a kvm only for keyboard and mouse (and speakers) will make it faaaar cheaper
FYI. The laptop is a surface book so has a magnetic connector to a hub with all the ports so cable unplugging isn't an issue to move it
