I can suggest 2 work around which will need 2-3 button pushes...

  1. get a 1 or 2 computer (single or dual monitor) KVM that will switch between 2 computers and 2 monitors.
  2. get a 2-3 computer HDMI switch (3 to 1 HDMI splitter) and use it to manage the 3rd input.

Advantage:

  1. less costly
  2. you can customize your devices
  3. you can have 2 screens from PC 1 on 2 monitors, 3rd monitor can have 1 screen from the PC, e.g work PC on 2 primary screens, baseball game on 3rd screen from personal PC.
  4. if you get the HDMI splitter with PIP function, you can overlay your personal PC screen on the 3 rd screen over your Work screen

Disadvantage

  1. More wires
  2. need to press 2 buttons
  3. not as elegant as a proper 2 PC 3 HDMI KVM

Option 2:

  1. Get 4x2 HDMI multiplexer (instead of KVM) for 2 monitors.
  2. Get a 2x1 HDMI multiplexer for 3rd screen
  3. Get Logitech MX Keys KB and MX Mouse. They can switch between 3 PC at the press of button.

Advantage:

  1. More control on what is shown on each screen

Disadvantage

  1. More wires
  2. need to press 5 buttons
  3. not as elegant as a proper 2 PC 3 HDMI KVM

This HDMI 3 switch port, you could use a similar product, but this particular one switches between inputs depending on what's powered on.
