We've been using this IOGEAR 4-Port DVI KVMP Switch with Audio and Cables for about 5 years and we haven't had any problems with it. We have hundreds of Dell DisplayPort to DVI adapters, so we pulled 4 that are always connected to the KVM.
You want a multi monitor kvm. How many monitors do you need? What type of connection? Looks like you want 4 ports.
Try getting one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002RCTNKW/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1494899122&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=kvm+dvi+4+port+switch&dpPl=1&dpID=41GJjaVQtGL&ref=plSrch
And one of these https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Graphics-Multiple-2048x1152-1920x1080/dp/B00A2E1MQA
Plug the displaylink into the extra port on the back of kvm. This should get you dual monitors. If you're lucky, you could plug a second into the front for triple monitors, but remember you're pulling them through a single usb port.
Have you seen Level 1 Tech's KVM? They make a dual monitor versions that supports 1440p at 144hz. While not officially supported G-Sync pass-through is reported to work as well as FreeSync. They're cheaper than comparable IOGear dual monitor DisplayPort KVM, but that's not saying much as it's still $565 without cables. https://store.level1techs.com/products/kvm-switch-dual-monitor-model
I've looked for a USB switch that is controllable via keyboard commands but have yet to find one. I'm currently using IOGear's GUS402 4-way USB switch with IOGear's GCS1104 4-way DVI KVM to switch my keyboard and mouse between the console and pass-through ports to get around console port limitations. It has a remote switcher that I put next to my keyboard. The switch works well for the most part but I do have issues with devices not being recognized occasionally and having to cycle through outputs. That's likely due to the fact that I have 20 ft of cable end to end including KVM, switch, and device cables.
You might have more luck asking for a solution in /r/homelab than here. It won't be anything custom built but there might be a used piece of enterprise gear that would do what you're looking for.
Do you know which one will support 3 monitors? The KVM's I see support multiple computers.. not necesarrily multiple monitors

I have three of these on my desk at work and one at home. They're great.
