Best switch for 2 monitors / personal desktop + work laptop setup?

Post Body

So I believe I over researched and gave my brain a system overload because I am hitting a brick wall as to what the best option is for my WFH setup. I started a new job and I have to use their work laptop (Okta security, etc.). They will expense whatever I need, however, I am not looking to ask for anything over $200. Ideally, $100 or less.

My personal setup, that I would still like to utilize my two monitors, and be able to switch to my personal PC, is as follows:

  • Dell G5 Desktop: (10th Gen Intel i9, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8GB GDDR6)
  • 32” Dell 4k (SQ221Qs): 2 x HDMI (HDCP 2.2), DisplayPort 1.2, Audio line-out, USB 3.0 upstream, USB 3.0 downstream, USB 3.0 downstream with Battery Charging 1.2
  • 32" Dell Gaming (S3222DGM): (DisplayPort: 165 Hz OR HDMI: 144 Hz): 2 x HDMI (HDCP 2.2), DisplayPort (DisplayPort 1.2 mode, HDCP 2.2), Audio line-out (mini-jack)

What I am trying to do:

  • Ideally would like to have my work laptop closed shut and cleared out of my space. I would like to power it on and it work with my two monitors (extended). I would love to keep the specs on my monitors (4k/165hz) however, I am not looking to break the bank, so I am okay if they cant be to their max capabilities. My job is just spreadsheets, emails, video calls primarily, nothing fancy needed.
  • I would like to easily press a button and switch from my work PC to my personal PC
  • Utilize one keyboard and one mouse

Bonus question:

  • Is there a way to do all of the above, but also, be able to have one screen my personal PC, and the other screen my work PC?

TYSM in advance!
