Do you know of any that support HDMI 2.1 properly for 8K 60 Hz monitors? I currently just have a USB switch and two HDMI 2.1 cables, and manually change the input on the screen each time.

Don't do that, do this: https://haim.dev/posts/2020-07-28-dual-monitor-kvm/ - free and works great!

I have the Aten CS1944DP, a dual screen, 4K60 DisplayPort KVM with the ability to drive 4 computers. I use two 27” 1440p144 monitors.

Cable management is a bit of mess, but it’s fantastic to be able to switch between personal, work, client and something else computers with the flick of a button (or keyboard shortcut).

I’ve not heard or seen any 8K KVM.
