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!

Yeah, as I keep looking that's what it seems like it's the best choice to continue to game and be productive, which is fine by me, not that hard to switch inputs on a monitor.

Check out ddcutil and setting keyboard shortcuts. At a single press you can switch monitor inputs easily so no need to fiddle with monitor buttons. Combined with a USB switcher you’re down to just 2 button presses to swap machines like this.
