Show HN: Multi-monitor KVM using just a USB switch
This is great, but currently very limited; partial support for Windows. Seems inclined more towards Apple.

LAN Mouse is a mouse and keyboard sharing software
You might take some inspiration (or some code) from https://github.com/htrefil/rkvm
I've used it and it works pretty well, is written in rust, and it has one big advantage - by emulating the keyboard and mouse at the linux evdev layer it avoids touching any of the desktop-specific apis. (It also has encryption, though over TCP so has issues with managing connections. I think your choice of UDP was a good one)

My personal experience: Plasma/X11 > Plasma/Wayland
It looks like RKVM is supposed to work well, but I can't figure out how to compile the Windows client.

KVM software currently working in Wayland
only one i know is https://github.com/htrefil/rkvm which either doesn't work or has so little documentation that you probably can't figure it out yourself
What are some alternatives?
When comparing lan-mouse and rkvm you can also consider the following projects:
lucia - A flexible client API framework as well as a set of API collections
barrier - Open-source KVM software
tuic - Delicately-TUICed 0-RTT proxy protocol
enigo - Cross platform input simulation in Rust
