Option 2 seems doable but not practical. Just because you would have to switch the keyboard and mouse independently and it seems tri mode mice like to have a physical switch underneath.
I own a portable keyboard that can be wired+bluetooth and you switch devices through fn + 1/2/3/4 (4th is wired). I think most tri mode keyboards should support that but you have to make sure the wired sends data and is not just for charging.
>Do any tri-mode keyboards have removable batteries or take normal AA batteries if I'm worried about lithium battery swelling?
The point of wired is mostly to recharge lithium batteries. You're really limiting yourself with that concern. I was surprised to find one called Touch Tofu68. Kinda pricey. The user manual suggests you can switch bluetooth/2.4g/wired but I cannot guarantee the wired mode doesn't override wireless.
There are also tri-mode mice but I've never personally used one. Touch sells one with the keyboard I mentioned. There's also the Attack Shark X3 that is cheaper.

Idk anything about KVM with 2.4ghz dongles. But it got me thinking. Like I mentioned, there may be keyboard/mice where wired mode overrides wireless. So all you really need is some usb dock with a kill switch that "unplugs" or shuts the power of the wired connection so it will automatically default to the wireless connection. The keyboard and mouse should each have their own dongle like normal connected to computer 2. I would look up dual or tri mode keyboards that don't seem to have any manual switch functionality.
I'm curious why you need such a setup though. Like is Computer2 a laptop that you remove often and you don't like having usb cords tethered to it? I'd probably be disappointed if the answer was anything else.
