What KVM switch would be best for this setup?

Mac Pro 7,1 and a 5,1. Specs for both are in my signature.
2 monitors, 1 is 4K and the other is an old 1080p max gaming monitor.
Logitec Z906 5.1 sound system.
Logitec C920s Pro webcam for Zoom meetings.

FYI: Apple Universal Control will not work on the 5,1.
 
Okay correct me if I'm wrong? Do I even have to worry about the webcam and sound system? The sound system will be connected normally to the 5,1 which has the sound card and the webcam will be connected as it is now, to the 7,1. So all I need to run the sound system is to switch to the 5,1 and vice versa to use the webcam. Once switched, I will have full control over that computer with a single keyboard and mouse, right? The only difference is that I will be switching monitors when I switch computers, right?Or is this not how KVM switches work?

You'll have to forgive me, I know little to nothing about networking.
