I did think about that but it requires a bit of software support, and having 5 Pi Zero's for a 4 port KVM starts adding up the cost, although you can use 1 decent power supply and mount them in a single box.
That would be required to make it really useful, so you could switch the keyboard, mouse and monitor from a hot key combination. The cheap HDMI switches I have come with a remote and a plug in IR sensor, so you could either use an IR LED on the Pi, or connect use a GPIO line to drive the input directly.
I think that would be slightly more work to implement.
That's very important, I back in the Pi 1 days, I had a mechanical USB switch and it was unreliable and occasionally caused the Pi to hang. I've had no problems with a fully electronic switch.

The great advantage is you download it, unzip it and run it and 99% of the time there's nothing to set up. It just works. Simple and quick to get X working on Windows. I still use Putty and, more and more, WSL's ssh. For people like me that have to use Windows and Linux, it's very useful.
Other than the licensing terms of the Xming binaries?
