They need to invest in some KVM switches. Just leave the monitors connected directly to the towers but route the input devices through the switch. There's no good reason for a single person to face more than one keyboard and mouse at the same desk.
There's plenty of good reasons. Redundancy, simplicity, speed, physical context switching...
Redundancy for a keyboard and mouse? Keep an extra set in the drawer or something. No need to have them all out and connected. Simplicity? How is it simpler to have multiple input devices littered about than one set? You can't really physically use multiple at once. Speed? Speed of what? Of input? The latency on a KVM is negligible, particularly for an IO device? Speed of swapping? With multiple keyboards and mice, you have up manually move around devices and/or your body. With a KVM, you press a button. How is that slower?
Physical context switching is the only thing I'll grant you, but I don't see how that's such a benefit compared to the hassle, clutter, and hectic work flow when you can just use a KVM.
Reminds me of VirtualBox on Wayland. It won't correctly capture the mouse, so it just exits and re-enters the window in random positions. Say, on guest you see it in middle left, you move it a bit to the right, and it jumps out of bottom right corner.
So, time to have a second mouse, and do USB passthrough.
But also UEFI on my HP mini PC doesn't work with every keyboard, so a second keyboard for UEFI.
