What happened?

I have a situation where i would like to share a mouse between devices but have the keyboard continue to be controlled by the computer into which it is plugged. It would be great to have the ability to do this with Barrier.

Version

v2.4.0

Git commit hash (if applicable)

No response

If applicable, where did you install Barrier from?

No response

What OSes are you seeing the problem on? (Check all that apply)

Windows, macOS

What OS versions are you using?

n/a (current versions of Big Sur and Win10)

Relevant log output

No response

Any other information

(probably be good to have a "feature request" template added to the GH page too)

@Zeratoxx commented on GitHub (Dec 13, 2021):

Also: Share peripherals in both ways. Currently, you can only share the peripherals of the server and inputs from a client are not getting shared among the system.
A workaround would be to run two servers at the same time but that does not work.

New issue?
