I'm setting up my workspace with both a gaming PC and a Mac. I have dual monitors connected to my PC, but I also do a lot of coding on my Mac while working from home. I was thinking of connecting my Mac to one of the monitors via HDMI since one monitor doesn't have a DisplayPort. My main issue is figuring out how to use the same keyboard and mouse for both systems without constantly switching inputs. I've got a spare wireless keyboard and mouse for the Mac, but I want to avoid adding clutter. Is there a neat way to streamline this? What setups do you all recommend?

Look into Logitech's bolt-compatible products, like the Logitech MX Keys Combo for Business Gen 2. It supports up to three computers and works seamlessly with both Mac and PC. I’ve been using it for a while, and it switches effortlessly without issues!
You should check out a KVM switch! It allows you to connect both your PC and Mac to one set of keyboard, mouse, and monitors. You just push a button to switch between the two. Some KVMs even support high refresh rates and multiple inputs. They usually range from $50 to $100. It's a great way to keep things tidy and functional!
Definitely this! The hardware is reliable and the switching is smooth. No complaints!
