Hrvach/Deskhop: Fast Desktop Switching Device
I make one that I put a lot of effort into documenting:
https://github.com/tiny-pilot/tinypilot
It's pretty easy to extend since it's just Python and vanilla HTML/JS/CSS, so there's not much of a toolchain to install.
You can buy it pre-made for $399 or make a DIY one for under $100.

Show HN: Multi-monitor KVM using just a USB switch
I’ve been using display-switch[0] for this for a while now. No problems whatsoever. Works on windows/mac/linux.

Hrvach/Deskhop: Fast Desktop Switching Device
Now it just need to be combined with something like https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch to do a DDC/CI monitor input switch as the USB activity moves around.
With a device like this you'd be missing the on_usb_connect event, but presumably you could do something (a special HID device button, an extra device id appearing, who knows) to make it work.

Can Dell’s 6K monitor beat their 8K monitor?
The best option I've found is to hook both computers up to a USB-only KVM, and plug them in via separate video cables to the monitor. Then set up the computers to tell the monitor to change inputs (via DDC commands, which most but not all monitors support) when you change devices on the KVM
There's software to help do this automatically (https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch)
