So I have been working from home for much longer than a year, about time I figure out a better way of switching peripherals between gaming PC and work laptop.
I have a Lenovo Think Pad with a stupid thunder bolt docking station thing and my gaming PC on my desk.
Every other day when I want to play a game I need to unplug my headset, keyboard and mouse and move from the laptop docking station to the gaming PC.
Aside from being a mission, it makes a neat desk impossible and will probably end up killing the USB cables on the expensive gaming peripherals.
Monitors are sorted, have multiple inputs, so Display Port for gaming PC and HDMI from work laptop.
Has anyone had any success or recommendations with a USB switch?

Specifically concerned about latency when gaming?
Not sure if that is even a valid concern?
Software solutions are not an option due to latency and dev laptop is extremely locked down/only approved software can be installed/etc.
