reading keyboard

I have a program that opens and read a character from the keyboard. If the keyboard is connected to a KVM when the keyboard switches to the another PC. My program get an error no device. So I can close the file. But what is the best way to determine that the keyboard has returned.
Do I loop trying to open the device? Is ther a way to determine that the keyboard is back?

Thanks

More informatin would help: Assuming that the KVM is pointed to Computer One and you switch it to Computer Two:

Does the error appear on Computer One or Computer Two?

What precisely is the error message?

What is the program you refer to? Does this error happen if said program is not running? Does the error occur if no applications are active on either computer?

Wondering which KVM...mine don’t let the connected computer know when the keyboard “leaves” I can even boot or turn on a computer with another computer selected on the KVM with no missing keyboard errors.

I am using a Trendnet TK-409K KVM. The program that I'm running is called autopoweroff. It is a program that checks different resources
and when the conditions are met it executes a command. In my case it suspends the PC. When switching from the PC running autopoweroff
the program gets a error no such device. The program checks all keyboard and mouse devices. It does a read(1) which is what gets the error.
When the error occurs it shuts down the thread. All of this is working as it should. When you switch back to the PC running autopoweroff
it no longer monitors for activity on the keyboard and mouse. Which can cause the system to enter sleep while you are typing.
What the program should do is when it detects that the keyboard or mouse is missing. It should close the file. Sleep for some amount of
time, Then check to see if the keyboard is back. If the keyboard is back reopen the file and start monitoring again.
After some searching. I found that after switching to the other computer. The files mouse0 and mouse1 in /sys/class/input disappear. When
you switch back these two files are created. The are created as symbolic links. The program is written in python3. I've found the python3
is supposed to have the ability to check if a file exists or is a symbolic link. But the code does not wok as expected. If the symbolic link points
to a non existent file it returns false instead of true. I've tried several ways to check if the file exists. But I can't find any python3 code
that works.

The TK-409K allows me to switch between 4 PC's. As long as I don't have a program reading the keyboard or mouse
I get no errors. But if you look at the dmesg log you will see messages about the devices going away then messages when they return.

I've finally found a method that works. The file /dev/input/mouse1 disappears when you switch to the other computer and it is not a symbolic link.
The python3 code that works is Pat('/dev/input/mouse1').exists() This will return false when switched to the other computer and True when switched back.
This is what I needed.
I changed the code to look for the device that failed. When the program gets the enodev error just close the file and loop until it exists. Then open the file and continue.
