Since working from home I've had the exact same use case. I thought a KVM would be perfect, but was really surprised that they are incredibly expensive and don't really seem very good anyway. It's odd because switching the keyboard/mouse seems easy, while switching the monitor inputs is something that is done by AVR receivers which can be found for less than a KVM.

I've resorted to having both machines plugged into my monitors and switching inputs using the monitor front panel. Not ideal. For the keyboard/mouse I currently just have two of each on my desk. Also not ideal, although I must admit it provides some semblance of work/life separation. I'm going to look into one of the software solutions for switching the keyboard/mouse.
