I like this idea. It will allow mechanical KVM switches to "work"
better than they do now (which is to say, not much at all). I also
have one KVM switch that hits the out-of-sync problem when its power
fails. Unfortunately, it has a horrible user interface: The power
button and the switch console buttons are next to each other.
I assume that initializing the mouse is somewhat expensive and
something that you wish to avoid?
