      Hi all, searched a few terms and couldn't find this question asked before.

      Does anybody have any suggestions on how to manage single device input over multiple machines?
      Ie I want to use one wireless keyboard and mouse and switch between multiple machines that I own. Have 6 machines and about to increase to 10.

      Have looked around and the keyboard and mouse combos seem to only support switching via network, with only one paired bluetooth receiver. The software based solutions its not clear if they would work with Pi. Seems unlikely.

      Welcome any input. Unless otherwise advised I'll either look at a KVM switch or seeing if theres something out there that could pair to multiple bluetooth receivers and switch output channel
