We use a Belkin OmniView Pro3, 8 port model. It handles PS/2 and USB and works fine with FreeBSD (and Windows). I've never seen it screw up the mouse or keyboard through hundreds of changes.

You buy cables as you need them in pairs of PS/2 or USB. One cable supports two computers.

Do you have a kvm switch that does mouse and keyboard emulation and know
that it works with freebsd?

I have an iogear kvm switch from around the last time I asked this
question here years back, that has usually worked with linux, netbsd,
openbsd, macos and windows. Back then to work with freebsd, each time I
switched away and back I would login remotely and issue a command to get
freebsd to recognize the keyboard again.

The newer version of my kvm switch says it has mouse and keyboard
emulation, but I can't get a straight answer out of them if that means
the OS can tell that they keyboard has disconnected or not. Do you know?
Or do you know of a KVM switch, that does that and is suitable for an
impoverished person's home computing needs?

Also, I read someone's comment on newegg that the mouse emulation only
emulates 2 buttons. Do you know if that is true?
