Don't buy a Belkin KVM switch for USB keyboards. I've bought two recently
and I've got lots of trouble with them.

Yes, my US layout standard white Apple keyboard works fine with NetBSD-i386.

AltGr is just a different label for they right Alt key. And the Apple
keyboard has two Alt keys.

I've not tried out Windows (and I cannot at the moment). My guess is however
that the two Apple keys on the Apple keyboard will be behave like the
Windows keys.

Yes, no problem.

No problem, hot plugging works fine.

Older Belkin KVM switches (which work fine) present a PS/2 keyboard either
as PS/2 or USB keyboard to the computer. The advantage of that setup is that
the USB HID devices presented by such a KVM switch doesn't go away when you
switch to another computer.
