So, I might be missing something, but there are a couple of no-name HDMI/USB KVMs on Amazon in your price range (i.e., https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NVKHRRT )
Some of the reviews suggest it acts as a pretty brain dead switch, which may cause problems with the OS. I know for a while I had a Windows 10 PC's monitor on a remote switch for silly reasons. I had to make sure to lock the PC before the monitor would turn off, otherwise some combination of driver/os/whatever would treat the disappearance of the monitor as a resolution change, and all my windows would get squished into 640x480. I could see KVMs like this triggering the same sort of madness.
A basic KVM switch [0]. Got tired of switching my mouse, keyboard and monitor cables between my work laptop and my desktop PC. This makes it a 1 button press.
