  3. PowerToys

    Windows system utilities to maximize productivity

    For sharing a mouse/keyboard between Windows PCs, there is Mouse Without Borders. It's included in PowerToys nowadays.

  4. rkvm

    Virtual KVM switch for Linux machines

    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)
