Thanks. That was my concern re: KVMs, and I really didn't want to get something so bulky if I could avoid it.
I'm going to give this one a go since it seems to have some positive success reviews for my use case, and it is much smaller and cheaper.

If that doesn't work well, then I may have to look at Level1.

I'm currently using this KVM with an Acer 4k@60Hz w/ gsync and it works flawlessly. Haven't yet tried it on my 1440p@165Hz monitor and I haven't used the USB functions of the kvm at all. I just use it for connecting both the host and the vm to the only good connector on gsync monitors and use qemu/kvm to do the rest of the switching.
It seems most of the bad reviews are people who don't realize you can't fake a DP connection to keep monitors "connected" after switching and that you can turn off mouse-emulation to support extra mouse buttons. I believe it supports powered USB hubs as well.
Had it about a month, can reccomend
A KVM switch is the only option that I know of. It would be a matter of finding one that supports the correct outputs, a KVM switch such as This one should work

please note i have never used any of these particular switches so please read the reviews before buying any of them.
Here is the one that I found, and it has been reviewed and works and is awesome.
Its DP1.2 so it will pass GSync. I use this to go between my work laptop and my Gsync Monior/gaming station.
I had this exact same requirement and its tits.

here is the one I use. It’s one of the only ones that supports DP 1.2
This one is $162, from the reviews looks like people still have issues with it but at least one person got it to work at 100hz.
