I actually bought a 4-port USB/HDMI switch model fairly recently. It's really just a clutter and convenience thing. I have a few computers, including Raspberry Pis, that I just fiddle around with sometimes. While I could do things in different ways, it's just simple to have one monitor, keyboard, and mouse and plug the computers into the switch.

Do you have time to link the specific product if it has been working well for you? I personally wouldn't even mind a referral link though most get downvoted, especially if they lack a disclaimer.
Something that can reliably connect to random/miscellaneous projects would be really useful to me!

This is what I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XRDS1CG/ref=oh_aui_deta...
It seems to work fine although I haven't used it a huge amount.

This does not meet the requirements of a modern workstation by my or the original article's requirements. This is limited to 1080p. We're looking at 4k as a minimum.
