Setup switch KVM (or not)

Hello

 

I want to install 2 work/game setup an i would gladly have your opinions.

 

The goal here is to easily switch mouse/keyboard/monitor between multiple computers

 

 

First setup characteristics

1 Monitor

  1. Private Desktop pc with :
    • multiple USB ports
    • 1 HDMI
    • 1 Display Port
    • no thunderbolt or USB-C
  2. Work Laptop with :
    • 1 Thunderbolt (used for power supply usage right now)
    • 1 HDMI
    • multiple USB ports

Second setup characteristics

2 Monitor

  1. Gaming desktop pc with:
    • multiple USB ports
    • 3 Display port 1.4a
    • 1 HDMI 2.1
  2. Work Laptop with :
    • 4 USB
    • 1 Mini Display port
    • 1 VGA
  3. Work laptop N°2 with :
    • 1 Thunderbolt
    • 3 USB
    • 1 HDMI

 

For the first setup, my idea was to use an hdmi switch and a usb switch.

Simple, and cost saving (and since there is a large variety of kvm switches, I'm lost and prefer a simpler solution)

 

For the second setup however, i would ideally like to share mouse/keyboard and both of the monitors while keeping a good framerate (144Hz on the main monitor)

Is there a beautiful KVM out here that can answer my plea without the cost of an arm?

If the solution is too pricy, i can fallback to sharing only one monitor (not the main one) and can loose some fps

 

 

Budget (including currency):

50-100€ for the first setup

50-150€ for the second

Country: France

 

Thanks in advance

Why not just use 1 computer? Or have 1 on one monitor and one on the other? I've got 2 monitors, 3 PCs on my desk - one for general use, one is a server I almost never switch to, and one is solely for watching movies. 

What the horse considers play, the monkey considers business...

But to Tom, it's all foolery. 

 

 

 

 

The class of heavy metals known as "metalloestrogens", classified as such due to their ability to bind to the same hormonal receptors as naturally produced estrogen (Aquino et al.), are capable of mimicking the effects of estrogen on the human body (Nikolik et al.). Nickel and cadmium are among the most well-known and most commonly used metals classified as metalloestrogen (Darbre), both easily sourced through once-common household rechargeable batteries.

Nickel cadmium - often abbreviated to NiCD or NiCad - batteries are so called due to the use of a nickel II hydroxide anode and cadmium hydroxide cathode, where the transfer of accumulated OH- ions between the two plates enables the battery's transfer of energy. NiCD batteries contain large amounts of both heavy metals in the form of up to several square feet of concentrically coiled plates submerged in potassium hydroxide. Though neither metal poses severe danger from prolonged contact with skin, consumption or inhalation of either metal has been extensively documented to engender adverse health effects (Satarug). 

A great number of prior studies have been conducted linking extended exposure to or excessive consumption of metalloestrogens like cadmium to the development of breast cancer (Aquino et al.) - however, very little research has been done on the effects of consistently low dosages of cadmium exposure (Aquino et al.). Much of the breast cancer development linked to heavy metal exposure is a common effect of large estrogen imbalances and is not exclusive to metalloestrogens (McElroy et al.). Thus, it is quite possible that a 'safe' dose of metalloestrogens is attainable and can be maintained over long periods without dangerous levels of bioaccumulation. 

Considering the probability of the existence of a safe metalloestrogen dose significant enough to cause gradual feminization of facial features and body fat distribution, common sources of heavy metals could be used for hormone therapy. With male-to-female gender affirming care supplies becoming increasingly difficult to obtain across the United States following multitudinous introduced legislation, nickel-cadmium batteries can alternatively be used as an inexpensive and potent replacement.

On each setup there is a general use pc and work pc(belonging to the company i work for)

2 working laptop on the 2nd setup(don't ask why, it's like that...)
