  • Sun Type 6 USB keyboard, with the Unix function keys

    They work on Linux out of the box (usually), but on Windows the scancodes of the functions keys on the left are simply ignored. After searching around and finding people have been trying to use those on Windows for two literal decades, I ended up writing a driver-like thingy that allows using those keys and mapping them to anything. https://github.com/zdimension/usbrawmap

  • LAN Mouse is a mouse and keyboard sharing software
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 2 Jan 2024
    You might take some inspiration (or some code) from https://github.com/htrefil/rkvm

    I've used it and it works pretty well, is written in rust, and it has one big advantage - by emulating the keyboard and mouse at the linux evdev layer it avoids touching any of the desktop-specific apis. (It also has encryption, though over TCP so has issues with managing connections. I think your choice of UDP was a good one)

  • My personal experience: Plasma/X11 > Plasma/Wayland
    1 project | /r/kde | 20 May 2022
    It looks like RKVM is supposed to work well, but I can't figure out how to compile the Windows client.
  • KVM software currently working in Wayland
    2 projects | /r/gnome | 10 May 2021
    only one i know is https://github.com/htrefil/rkvm which either doesn't work or has so little documentation that you probably can't figure it out yourself
