I am using Dell U3417W monitor [0] with windows desktop and linux laptop. Keyboard and mouse are connected to the monitor (via one Logitech unifying receiver). The monitor has built-in KVM switch and when I change video input using monitor hardware buttons keyboard and mouse switch automatically. And it's amazing! As far as I know the monitor has 2 or 3 USB A ports.
I found an article that seems to explain how to set everything up [1]. Sorry for medium, should work in incognito.
Interestingly, I almost bought standalone KVM switch when I discovered that my monitor already has one. Three years after I bought the monitor, I finally understood why there was that fancy blue USB 3 B cable in the box.
Also Logitech MX keys keyboard and MX master 2S mouse support three bluetooth/logitech adapter devices. So I can use this setup occasionally with a tablet and with my old mac that has hardly functioning keyboard and trackpad.
Logitech and Dell devices are worth the money.
