All of these support a single computer only, so if your home lab has multiple PCs you need a remote control KVM switch too. And separately a remote control power strip/outlet if you need that also.

KVM switches are relatively cheap[^1] so I'm surprised there isn't an integrated solution.

There are a few, like this add-on for PiKVM[1], a fully integrated version from Geekworm[2], and an as-yet unreleased 4-port IP KVM switcher from GL-iNet[3].

PiKVM themselves offer a 4-port switch, which can be chained five times, giving 20 ports in total: <https://docs.pikvm.org/switch/>

It also looks like BliKVM is now making the BLiSwitch: https://blikvm.com/docs/device-guides/BliSwitch-v2-guide/
