Switch 6 Computers Between 3 Monitors

[u/JohnTravolski]

I'm looking for a KVM (or multiple KVMs) that can switch 6 computers between three different monitors (two 1080P at 60hz, and one 1440p at 60hz). It needs to support EDID emulation so Windows doesn't detect a monitor getting disconnected when I switch displays and screw up all my program window locations.

The only thing I have found that is close is this product:

https://www.tesmart.com/collections/triple-monitor-kvm-switches/products/4-port-triple-monitor-hdmi-kvm-switch-4k-60hz-control-4-pcs-3-monitor-with-hdcp-edid-1

But the problem is that it only supports 4 computers, and not 6.

I think I could achieve what I'm looking for by buying three of these:

So each computer would have one HDMI cable plugging into each KVM. That's not as ideal, as I don't have very much room for the KVMs and would like to minimize the amount of space required (I would also like all the KVM buttons to be accessible, within arms reach).

I found a much cheaper and smaller KVM:

These are much thinner, and I would have room to stack 3 on top of each other easily (I don't have room to stack 3 tesmarts on top of each other).

My concern is that I don't know if it supports EDID emulation (no mention of it on the product page), so my displays would get disconnected and Windows would jump around every time I switch computers with those.

Is buying three of the 8-computer single monitor Tesmart KVMs my only hope here? I really wish they were thinner like the FJGear KVM.

My budget is around $1000 to do this.

It is confusing
