KVM(?) for Peripherals/displays ~125ft away from PC's?

Hello, [Hope this is the right "section" to post in] [I posted once but it's gone, and i don't have any "warnings" so idk if i'm crazy and just didn't post it actually]
I'll be converting my garage into a gaming area/chill space soon;
I don't know how many amps/etc we have left to put into said space (as i plan on a mini-split or two), And a ~1200W computer would take up an outlet and produce a lot of heat; the most of anything there. [I have lofty goals for the space, and as far as i know my house is already on/using a 250a breaker box]

I am going to be trenching fiber to the garage and adding wifi and ethernet ports to the space; so WHILE i'm trenching (the cable is direct burial, however i'm going to pull it through some of this), is there a KVM/etc i can use to keep my PC's in the house but still have my multiple monitors/USB's/etc in the space?

I would like to keep using 3 displays, and i need USB ports in the area; i can't go to the usb's location in the basement everytime i need to press my yubikey.

In a video a bit back linus talked about these icron kvm's, which would cover USB - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U6K4PC8

And this looks to be Displayport over ethernet, but has mixed reviews - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHRRPQ3J

I was MOST interested in level1tech's kvm's though as they seem to "have everything" and be high quality, and shortcuts/etc to swap pc's; etc (i'd like to get rid of teamviewer to access my server)

so something like this - https://www.store.level1techs.com/products/p/14-kvm-switch-triple-monitor-2computer-pne46-fxlmw

However i'm pretty sure you want that "close" to all of them correct? compared to the icron kvm where it comes with "two" where you have one on both ends (from what i believe).

So no matter what besides the fiber running through the conduit, I would need someway for the 3 displayports to run that distance anyways? Which i see infinite cable sells ~100/~150ft ones, but $200 a cable is pretty steep.

Icron does have the "Maverick 63104" (not on amazon) but it has USB included, but only a single display.

Any tips or ideas? Yes, i know the EASIEST solution would be to have the PC right next to me in the space/garage, however at this point in time (before i start trenching) i want to explore all possible options for keepin the heat/watts out of that space.

Your thread from 10 hours ago was still there in General Discussion but has been removed now to avoid duplicates.

Before starting, it seems that the first thing that you need is an electrician who can check the wiring to make sure that your present system is capable of handling the load that you plan on placing. While, it's probably unnecessary, it's cheaper to find out first than it is to repair your house after a fire.

Remember, being a paranoid is not always bad.
