One monitor, three hosts, two USB devices, and one audio device. What is the best set up to avoid moving around as many cables as possible when changing hosts?

Post Body

I have one monitor with one HDMI input.

I have an Xbox and two laptops which can be connected to the monitor through HDMI. So I think I need a three-way HDMI switch.

I have a keyboard and mouse which must also be switched among the three hosts. This can be done with a three-way USB switch.

Not sure how to switch between wired headset among three hosts though. Maybe if I buy a USB headset instead.

I was wondering if there is a better solution to this, like switching both the external devices , HDMI display, and the audio with the touch of a single button.
