I didn't realize KVM switches were so problematic for everyone. I tried 2 a while back and they sucked. These KVM switches in the video sound great, but damn are they expensive.
KVM's are the devil, and if you want network function the cost only goes up and PITA to deal with. If you have a USB device thats just slightly outside of common dont expect it to work.
I just have 2 computers that I'd like to share 2 screens with. Never got it to work reliably. I'm sure the fact that both are 4K screens is the reason I just couldn't get it to work properly. Ended up connecting one PC to one screen and the other PS to the other.
I have 1 4k screen with 4 computers connected to it, but my KVM cost over $1000 when I got it 8 years ago. 4k 60 in 2016 was $$$$.
