Nice πŸ˜„, The "B&W" workstation looks simple. I can see a laptop is connected to Monitor and then also has another PC , So how can both laptop and PC can be controlled by only one mouse ?

Maybe "Mouse without Borders" or any other similar software

I use a USB hub to my monitor, which lets me use peripherals between PC and MacBook with a press of a button. Love it!

Looks like Logitech MX Master 3 which can take advantage of Logitech Flow software. Can use one mouse seamlessly on multiple devices.

This workstation stood out to me too!

To share kb/mouse across PCs - try Input Director (free), Synergy, or Multiplicity.

I have logitech M720 Triathlon mouse and MK850 keyboard - it has 3 Bluetooth profiles. Really happy with it. The mouse scroll wheel can be a bit loud, but there is a button to silence the grrr grrr grrr. TBH - the scroll noise doesn't bother me - it bothered my co-workers when I still had co-workers.

A KVM, I assume. I use one to switch my keyboard and two monitors between my employer’s laptop and my much studlier personal workstation. It can also switch audio, but I have yet to find one that can switch random usb devices like cameras reliably and not just HIDs.

Some (10?) years ago I've tried every solution I could find. Synergy was by far the best one and has worked flawlessly ever since. Supports Win/Mac/Linux. Haven't used Synergy the last couple of years but even Android was unofficially supported.
