Dual laptop charging hub

Since there is so much wfh nowadays, I'm thinking of ways to cleanup my working space. I switch between work and personal laptops on one monitor, mouse, keyboard now.

Is there a product out there that centralizes as a hub for both power and usb devices so that:
- I don't have to keep unplugging and plugging usb receivers from one laptop to another
- I can have less power cables to the outlet

Work Dell Latitude uses usb-c to power up
Personal 2015 Dell XPS uses 45W plug

Don't know about the power side of things, but it just sounds like you need a KVM switch. I haven't dealt with these in a while and don't know what's new out there, but I know back 10 years I had a KVM switch which accepted USB dongle or device, and when you switched from one input to the other, it would bring that USB device into the computer you switched to.

Quick google search led me to this, would be an option. https://www.amazon.ca/hdmi-kvm-switches ... 2625&psc=1

There even seems to be dual monitor KVMs nowadays, if you run multiple monitors in your setup.
