Magic Keyboard/Trackpad with KVM for Mac switching

I’m currently using a company-issued MacBook Pro 16-inch M4 alongside my personal Mac mini M4.

For peripherals, I use a Logitech MX Keys Mini keyboard and a Magic Trackpad (USB-C).

Due to company security policies, I’m unable to use features like Universal Control or Logi Flow, and installing third-party applications is not allowed. As a result, software-based input switching between devices is not an option.

In this situation, I’m wondering:

Is it possible to connect an Apple Magic Keyboard (I'm planning to get this one) and Magic Trackpad to a KVM switch or a monitor with built-in KVM support, and use them to switch input control between the two devices?

Speak with the Proper Personnel:

These are peripherals --and adding them would go by permissions --made either through Profiles or Screen Time settings. So, I would speak to the person who manages these device, being they are a bit expensive.
