This, and I do a lot of gaming on my pc, have a nice setup etc, usually not great trying to work there (don't have space for another desk and can't really justify having two sets of monitors, keyboard etc

    Why do you need all that? I have my work laptop sitting at the back of my desk. Most monitors have two inputs. I've got an older 1080 with HMDI+DVI and a newer 1440p with DP/2xHDMI.

    So I have the laptop in HDMI on both screens (it needed a USBC to HDMI cable for one of the outputs), and a simple USB3 switch for the mouse+keyboard.

    So when I'm working I fire up the laptop, switch the USB over to that and swap the screens to the HDMI inputs. When I'm done working I can fire up the desktop, swap inputs and USB and in seconds I'm switched over.

    I've been doing it this way for years and years now.

    That's normally what I do, the problem is the context for me, I sometimes prefer just sitting across the room with a laptop so I'm in a slightly different environment

    It can help draw a line I'd agree, but I've gotten used to it now I think. I used to have it worse. I operated out of the bedroom for the first few years I was remote and that wasn't good at all. The new house had a bedroom that was really too small to be a bedroom. So it became an office room.
