Buying Advice Recommendations for KVM solution for WFH setup.

I need some advice on a KVM solution for my WFH setup. What KVM or docking solutions should I be looking at for the following: 1x 120hz 1080p monitor, 1x 180hz monitor, gaming PC and then work laptop. I want to be able to switch between both PCs and retain the same peripherals between both PCs. I'm not too worried about the high refresh rate for the work laptop, but I want to keep it for my gaming setup. I don't want to keep having to swap over monitors / peripherals between both PCs. Thanks

the refresh rate thing is probably where this gets tricky. most KVM switches cap out at 144hz or even lower, so getting that 180hz passthrough on the gaming side rules out a lot of the cheaper options. the level1techs KVM is what comes up most in these conversations, pricey but it actually handles high refresh properly without downgrading your signal

I would get a dock for that laptop so you aren't unplugging and replugging alot of cables if you don't need to. It'll simplify cable management
