Thanks for sharing! I actually have MX Mechanical keyboard in my setup, which uses Easy-Switch function, but I might need to get multiple dongles. As far as I have understood, in a KVM setup it's one port to connect from a target device to the switch, which is rather a convenience.

Of course, you might run up into a problem that you actually don't want to plug some devices into the switch when switching to another PC (for example some audio equipment)... So in a dream device, there would be switches on-off switches for ports (or groups of ports) and target PC enum switch. Probably some modular approach would work for making groups of ports switchable.

EDIT: https://www.avaccess.com/eu/product-category/kvm-usb-extende... (link to the manufacturer's e-commerce site) seems to have a good repertoire of KVM extenders.

EDIT1: Bluetooth support is still the missing piece in these...
