KVM Switch setup & feedback

Hey everyone, I need some advice and feedback on my setup.

I have:
Two identical monitors: AOC C32G2ZE/BK (240Hz, HDMI x2, DP)
One PC: RTX 4060
One Mac

My goal is to use both monitors with both devices. In my mind, the setup would look like this:
Two direct cables from the PC to the monitors (HDMI)
Two direct cables from monitors to KVM (DP)
A KVM switch (USB-C) for the Mac

However, I’m wondering if there’s a simpler solution — ideally a KVM that supports two monitors and can handle 240Hz at 1080p, while also switching USB peripherals. Is there a better way to achieve this? What KVM would you recommend? - I'm a little bit scared because many KVM switches dont support 240hz or they just mirror the main screen. I'm looking forward to extend them.

Thanks a lot for your help! [Malmö]

Simplest solution, and also relatively cheap, would be to go with one of those cheap but still good quality chinese KVM:s like the one linked below. It supports up to 240HZ ad 1080p resolution, and also has built-in USB 3.0 switching, and you can switch between computers both with hotkey command as well as by pressing button on KVM.

As I have three WQHD sized screens and two computers as well as need to connect a third computer from time to time, I'm planning on getting the larger modell supporting this. However this model only lists support for 144HZ in the specifications.
