One device that you plug all your peripherals plus both of your computers into, and you can switch peripherals back and forth between computers with ease.

Hey yall! So I am working on adding my work laptop to be able to use my current peripherals. Ideally, I'd have my 2 monitors, mouse, and keyboard able to be used on both my PC and laptop (Apple's 16in Macbook Pro M1 Max Chip). Obviously not looking to use both at the same time, but wanted to know if there was a way to achieve this without switching the four cables back and forth every time. Thanks!
