Very nice! Maybe look at Synergy for mouse/keyboard/stylus sharing between devices: https://github.com/symless/synergy-core https://github.com/symless/synerg

Beware, once you install Synergy on Mac, there seems to be no way to uninstall.

Synergy never ceases to amaze me in that these few bugs that have been around for years make it a completely broken product for me. Regret paying them.

  I had a similar experience after purchasing a license. Admittedly a few years back now, but I seemed to encounter issues that would strike at the most inopportune time. I eventually moved to an RDP based setup and haven't looked back.

synergy these days has been replaced for most serious use by barrier, due to the restrictive synergy license and costs. https://github.com/debauchee/barrier https://github.com/debauchee/barrier I actually clicked on this thread for the purpose of commenting that you could do cool things with some combination of this, using spare screen/tablet devices, and Barrier. But you beat me to mentioning the concept.

  Thanks! I mentioned Synergy as I've used it many years ago and was not aware of license change implications (that's why I linked to the open-source repo). Good to know there's a good fork.

For Windows only there exists Mouse without border [0] which works a lot better than synergy, including sharing of the clipboard. Of course not usable if you have different systems, but for Windows there is no better solution I'm aware of. [0] https://aka.ms/MouseWithOutBorders https://aka.ms/MouseWithOutBorders
