KVM-Switch USB passthrough, no USB Devices
You could probably hack this together yourself though. For pure qemu, u/darkguy2008 at some point wrote hotplugger. For libvirt, however, you're probably better off hacking this together yourself using udev rules and an attach/detach script that gets fired based on them. This old comment of mine might help to get you started with that. Note, however, that I never had to deal with device paths for hubs; they might not be as stable as you like.

How to passtrough USB port instead of device using virt-manager?
Okay I've seen this before, but I'm unsure if it works. https://github.com/darkguy2008/hotplugger
-
is multiseat possible with proxmox?
I'd like to chime in with my Hotplugger project https://github.com/darkguy2008/hotplugger it might be helpful to assign a specific USB port inside the same controller to different VMs.

Windows Gaming Virtual Machine Tutorial: Poll
If it helps, and it helps you and others, make sure to link my project https://github.com/darkguy2008/hotplugger as it helps to do selective USB passthrough instead of passing through a full USB controller or buying an extra USB card. There are a couple bugs to iron out, but overall it works fine :) much appreciated!

Manjaro + Hackintosh + Windows Setup
I just came here to suggest that you can try my Hotplugger app, I made it specifically for sharing USB ports between VMs, dynamically depending on their on/off status. I figured it could help to solve some of your EVDEV problems :)

QEMU USB Redirection - How much overhead (cpu usage & latency) is there compared to when connecting to passthroughed PCIe USB controller?
Well, I made hotplugger ( https://github.com/darkguy2008/hotplugger ) as an app to configure USB port redirection per VM, and I used it with my Corsair Void Elite Pro wireless headset, a Logitech MX Master 2 USB receiver and a standard Redragon keyboard. I didn't experience any kind of latency in any of them compared to running them in bare metal.

Passthrough USB device on demand?
Hotplugger. I've never actually tried it yet, but it seems to do what you want.

Having weird problems with passing USB device
There is also something like this, though I haven’t tested it myself: https://github.com/darkguy2008/hotplugger

Change evdev toggle for keyboard/mouse
I wrote a tool a while back for managing VMs. It does a bit more but it would work for this situation. It will let you use any key or combo for triggering VMs.

Evdev passthrough doesn't work anymore
I have a project that I wrote and use for managing my passthrough devices that can use an arbitrary hotkey. If you're an arch user, it's in the AUR. I have a new version in the works, but I'll happily help you with using it if you want.

Is it possible to remap evdev's keybindings to return to Host?
This is the other tool I've seen that claims to do what you want but I've not personally used it https://github.com/dangle/akeydo

Linux<->Windows Software keyboard-video-mouse switch recommendation?
evdev would be the traditional way of handling a simple use case. If that's not working for you, or you want more features, I wrote a service called VFIO-KVM that you can try. It has the advantage of also being able to trigger programs (like ddccontrol for changing monitor inputs) when you switch between VMs.

Announcing VFIO-KVM 2.0: a service for toggling control between multiple virtual machines and the host
I'm thinking about adding another example that would use the d-bus methods to switch the VM every 10 minutes or so.
-
3 VMs, 3 monitors, 1 kb+mouse. Possible?
Yes, those cards would work. You wouldn't need a hardware KVM either. I've written a small service that handles toggling between a host and a guest. Just one so far, but I'm adding multi-VM functionality because I have pretty much the same setup, although I'm using a small USB external video card for one host.
-
Is there any hook for the evdev "switch" event to run a script (ddccontrol)?
You've got a few options. I released a project not long ago specifically for this: vfio-kvm. It has a package on the AUR if you use Arch.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing hotplugger and vfio-kvm you can also consider the following projects:
evsieve - A utility for mapping events from Linux event devices.
evdev-proxy - Creates virtual device to proxy evdev devices events
quickemu - Quickly create and run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux desktop virtual machines.
barrier - Open-source KVM software
homebrew-qemu-virgl - A homebrew tap for qemu with support for 3d accelerated guests
dot - Dotfiles
