So recently had the ability to work from home a bit more than usual so I’m in the market for a KVM or USB switch to go between my PC and work laptop. Anyone have suggestions?
ETA. Thanks for all of the useful feedback, appreciate it!

As someone that works in AV for exactly your type of scenario… you unfortunately won’t find anything that supports >1080p60 for under $500. That type of video bandwidth is at a premium for switching on KVMs, matrixes, eg. Good USB 3 support is unfortunately expensive, too.
Expect lots of noticeable lag, too. Switches aren’t engineered for gaming yet.
That’s a shame. I was thinking that I could get along with just a USB switch for the mouse and keyboard and manually switching displays when needed as the bare minimum. I can’t imagine a simple USB switch would have that much delay in response time for peripherals but who knows.
Either way thanks for the great input.
