I need to use a MacBook (Pro M2 2022 for specifics as it turns out it matters) for work and I'm not allowed to have dev environment on my PC but I'd rather kill myself than go through the whole clown dance of suffering through the dogshit trackpad + apple keyboard experience bundled with a tiny-ass 13" screen, when I have normal human high-quality full-sized keyboard, mouse, and monitor(s).I'd like to repurpose my current setup I'm using for gayming, which includes the peripherals and, very importantly, a Samsung Odyssey G7 Neo (32" VA model) running at 4K@120Hz over HDMI 2.1 to avoid DSC (as that disable a few Nvidia features and maybe even drops the maximum supported color depth).So, whatever I'm going to plug that thing in should be good enough to not downgrade my gayming experience on top of allowing me to quickly attach the MacBook and use it like a normal human being as opposed to a retarded clown.I'm pretty sure that the MacBook in question can't support multiple external screens until I shell out for a specialized dock - I might do that or I might stick to using just a single human-sized screen.Or maybe actually using its own screen as a secondary - my desk should have enough space to fit it in without interfering with my other stuff.Either way, what would be recommendations for this use-case? I'm currently leaning towards Level1 Tech's HDMI KVM as it seems to hit all the necessary requirements. It doesn't support USB-C power delivery I think but the laptop has two USB-C port so just plugging it in isn't an issue.It's crazy expensive and shipping it here (to Japan) would likely make it go well over $1000 after shipping and customs.I think I can find a use for it down the line as well, so if it's a good device for this use case, I'm willing to pay for it.But what are the other options? Are there any reputable Chinese manufacturers?I'm looking at TESmart options and it seems to be relatively affordable in comparison.

why would you willingly give your employer the serial numbers of your USB devices, Mac addresses and monitors?
>>106826801Why do you feel the need to say something when you are completely clueless about the top of the conversation?
Bump before I go and buy TESmart HDK202-M24-JPBK as my final choice.
Actually HKS202-M24-JPBK most likely, if the only difference is 2xHDMI inputs vs 1xHDMI 1xDP.It's potato potato as my main monitor must run on HDMI either way, but the 2xHDMI version is way cheaper.

Went with TESmart 2xHDMI one in the end.Should be enough for my use case.A DisplayLink dongle doesn't seem to cost that much if I do decide to run both monitors on this trashcan, which I probably will.

I use this:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FDNTS34and I've been happy enough with it. I just change inputs on my monitor. It doesn't require any external power and I attached the switcher button to the front of my rack.
