Hi everyone! I’d like to build a simple device that can forward keyboard and trackpad input from one computer to another.
Specifically, I want to connect a MacBook to this device, and then connect the device to a Mac mini, both over USB-C.
That way, I could use a MacBook’s built-in keyboard and trackpad to control the Mac mini, instead of buying an external keyboard and mouse.
I understand that handling full trackpad gestures might be complicated, but even just basic mouse movement and clicks would be amazing.
Could you please point me in the right direction on whether this is possible and how I should get started?
I’m completely new to raspberry pies, so feel free to over-explain things![😅]()
Thank you!![🙏]()
