This is why i think I'll like it a lot. There will be no need to "follow" as i can move all 5 on the same tile. I'm worried the mouse cursor might lag a couple pixels and throw one account off...
This quite simply wont work the way you are imagining it.

There is no voodoo to hardware multicasting vs software multicasting. there is no magic "Sync my position in the world" trick that only works with hardware.

Hook it all up, try to move all 5 at once, and go 5 different directions, period. Try and mouse target, and you'll have 5 different targets in a crowd, or have to click 5 seperate times, or at least several times since each persons PoV will be moderately different. All this appears to do is stop you from needing to buy a mouse multicaster AND a keyboard multicaster by bbuilding them both into one unit.

As for keyclone sending packets, it only sends packets to the machines you tell it to while you game, it only authenticates against the server when you start it. As software goes, I'd say there are a few solutions here that would suit the needs of anyone, but if you want to go hardware, you will have the exact same issues to overcome as any other boxer. If you syncronize one mouse you'll find you'll still want a non-broadcast mouse. You will still find you need to zero the mouse by moving them all to a corner, and you'll find that unless you run 5x screens at the same resolution and same mouse settings you wont have any luck with it even at that.

Hope that helps clarify things.
