I just picked up an IOgear 2-Port USB KVM (Model GCS632U).
I had the problem where Gentoo would lose the mouse after switching to Windows. Even if the switch wasn't prolonged (aka, nothing went to sleep). I changed my mouse setting to /dev/input/mice (from a non-existant /dev/input/mouse0. mouse1, 2 and 3 existed though).
Switching seems to be working OK now, although I may not have keyboard function immediately during the bootup process. It works for Grub. Will have to test more.
