The specifics of the peripherals really don't matter.

You are just switching USB paths like a track in a rail yard.

Unless all PC's have display port out it'll be the monitors you need to look at.

Display Port and HDMI are not the same thing.

If the monitor also has HDMI input options no issues.

If it's Display Port only input you need to make sure it's Dual Mode DP. The port on back should be labeled DP++ or Display Port ++

If a monitor has HDMI as well or is DP++ it has the required circuits to take HDMI in over DP.

If not you need an active adaptor, passive won't work.
