Has anyone used a KVM switch or have a similar solution? I have a home set up that I’d like to toggle between a work and home computer. I want to use the same two monitors, keyboard, mouse, etc. Below is a link to something I found on Amazon. Is there anything better?

I have a Bluetooth mouse/keyboard combo that switched between up to three devices with the click of a button. Then have an HDMI hub that switches with the push of a button from one device to the other. So, I can push three buttons and do the same thing for roughly $100.

I use one of these to switch between computers and it works fine imho. I’m not sure what the $245 version does that the $25 version won’t.

I use Synergy, runs one mouse and keyboard between 2 PCs and a Mac, each with their own monitor. Works fantastic, can copy/paste between them as well.

Supports more than 1 monitor and probably at a higher resolution.

I've been using IOGear KVM switches for a long time and they've been solid. The TESMart switch looks like a solid one.
