Laptop and Desktop Setup Help

[panthro]

Here's my current/in the process of buying setup:

• AM5 Desktop for gaming
• HP laptop for work
• Alienware aw3423dwf
• MX Keys Plus keyboard - wireless
• MX2S Mouse - wireless
• 2.0 active speakers (not yet bought but that's the intention)
• Epsom printer
• Dell 3100 Displaylink hub

I tried to plug the monitor into the displaylink hub via the USB to USB connection to use it as a USB hub, but it didn't work.
Is there any way I can share the monitor between the desktop (displayport) and the laptop (HDMI) without using a KVM, and have the speakers, printer and logitech wireless receiver plugged into the USB on the monitor so the keyboard and mouse are permanently connected?
I want to get the full 165Hz when using the desktop and most KVM's limit you to 120Hz at 1440p.

Thanks for that. Pretty much the same as me then. Not sure why I didn't think of a USB switch until now! I won't be using both machines at the same time so this makes perfect sense.
