I have a displayport monitor that only has one port for some reason, but I want to be able to have two devices connected to it both using display port cables as well, does anyone know what could work for it?

If you only need the video feed, you could just get a displayport switch. Monoprice has them for around $40 and amazon has a bunch ranging from $60 and up.

If you wanted to go with one set of keyboard/mice, you could look in to a Displayport KVM. There's a bunch of options but be warned the cheaper ones seem to only do 4k@30Hz instead of 4k@60Hz. Also KVMs tend to introduce a bit of input latency.
