Hey guys. I heard about this a while back but never bothered to look into it seriously. It's software called Synergy which allows you to use the same keyboard and mouse across several Mac, PC or Linux computers!
Here's my setup. On my left I have my CF-19 running Windows 7. In front I have my main Linux desktop computer with a 28" screen where the mouse and keyboard are actually plugged into. On my right I have my CF-30 also running Linux. The mouse moves across the screens much like when you have a single computer with multiple monitor setup. But with this I am moving across different computers and it's absolutely brilliant. It uses your LAN to pass the signals.
Anyway, I caught up with this software and finally decided to try it after watching a few Linus Tech Tips youtube vids and they currently have a 1/2 price promotion if you use this link: https://symless.com/synergy/linus17 which amounts to a measly 14 bucks!

Re: Keyboard and mouse sharing, in a way
very interesting.
I do not have any real use for it, but it sounds great.

Or just, you know, use Steam's In Home Streaming.
