How would I go about setting up a KVM switch?

Hi y’all!
I am trying to set up a KVM switch but having issues.
The usb qube recognises multiple “devices” when I plug the KVM in but connecting any of them to a qube gets me a “denied” error.

Ideally, I would like the KVM to connect automatically on boot like my usb keyboard and mouse do.

I was looking a the Docs regarding creating a usb qube and whitelisting usb devices but it’s not clear to me how a KVM switch could be allowed to talk to Qubes on boot?

I have usb switch only and it just works, no need to attach in usb gui or by any command.
When I switch to qube machine, keyboard and mouse just appears and works.
Did you allowed usb keyboard and mouse in qubes settings?

PS: I didn’t tested it at boot, since I’m running it with laptop, but keyboard have power before grub and then it’s gone until DE login.
But I’ve used it when tested my new gaming pc with QubesOS for HCL and it worked - had k&m in grub and when luks password.
