Hey Taran. Messaging here because that other thread got locked. Lol. If that Karabiner idea sounds like something you're interested in, let me know. I'll end up building most of it for myself anyway.
Saw your videos and got the idea to connect a 10-key pad directly to my Mac and use it to control things like volume, display switching etc. on both my Mac and Win machines, but not pass it through the KVM. That way, regardless of which machine I have the KVM switched to, it always works. For that I'll need to build the Windows daemon and messaging system I was describing anyway.
The only thing extra you might need is a script to generate the Karabiner JSON for the hundreds? of individual buttons you have. I wouldn't want to write that by hand. That isn't very hard to make and might be a good tool to have around anyway. Karabiner's JSON format can get tedious to deal with, even with just the small number of remaps I use right now.
