[Solved] libvirt VM on second screen with GPU and mouse/keyboard

Hello everyone,

I have set up a Windows 10 VM with GPU passthrough.

My normal Arch installation runs via the APU of my CPU (AMD 5700g).

The NVIDIA GPU of the VM is now connected to a second monitor to my right. The monitor is exclusively for the VM. Arch continues to run on my main monitor.

Is it somehow possible to switch the mouse/keyboard between the monitors without interruption?
Or is there any way to automatically remove the mouse/keyboard from the VM and add it again if I want to continue working on the host?

Best regards!
