ipad and computer with dual monitors and switch box

My setup right now is company laptop (Windows Surface) + personal Mac + two monitors with wireless keyboard and mouse. I also have a switch box to allow me to easily switch between company laptop and my Mac. I would like to replace my Mac with an iPad Pro, will I be able to keep the same setup, and continue to use dual monitor in extended and the same wireless keyboard, and also continue to switch as is between the iPad and the company laptop with the switch box ?

thanks

iPad supports connection of a single external monitor - either mirroring the iPad screen, or for iPad models that support iPadOS Stage Manager (such as the iPad Pro), as an extended desktop.

An iPad with an M-series CPU supports a single external display of up to 6K resolution. With Stage Manager active, the external display is independent of the iPad screen - and as such, in combination with the iPad screen, effectively provides a dual monitor configuration.

You should note that iPadOS Stage Manager does not support connection of two external monitors.
