I tried to search for an answer before posting this, but no luck. I'm looking for a KVM switch with the following:

  • Two USB-C inputs
  • Four USB-A outputs
  • Two+ HDMI outputs
  • Not a crazy price (ie $400+)
  • (Nice to have: 1 USB-C output)

The goal is to have two laptops (closed all the time) with three monitors (connected either by 3 HDMI ports (ideal) or two HDMI, and one USB-A/C graphics card adapter) and four USB-connected devices, connected by this (ideally small/low profile) KVM switch. I can't find anything that fits the bill. Either the inputs are USB-A, there's way more ports than I need, and/or the price is almost as much a basic laptop ($600-$800). Am I stupid for not being able to find it or are my expectations unreasonable? If the latter, why the heck are KVMs so expensive? Thanks in advance for the help!
