Hi, I tried Barrier software KVM with limited success. A lot of this was the difficulty in switching machines rather than any access issues once done so. In the end I went for a cheap USB hub with option to switch inputs. It’s a bit hit and miss but have got used to it now and it does what it says on the tin.

However, it's through a hardware KVM rather than software. If you're familiar with this setup, my apologies. I'm unaware of software to do this but perhaps others can help. 😊 I labeled the switches, or buttons with Braille. I've had many of these kvm switches over the years, some have audio jacks so you can also use the same pair of headphones on multiple machines.

My company have blocked using personal devices from connecting to some services so I need to use my laptop for all work stuff from now on. I want to use the keyboard and mouse from my desktop on the laptop so I don't have to keep switching keyboards, but worried about JFW issues using it this way. Anyone tried this? Thanks.
