I am not a dev but It's probably impossible without a jailbreak due to the IOS/IpadOS sandboxing

it might be possible with the extra effort to have one machine work as a bluetooth keyboard/mouse, cool, but probably out of scope for the project

Since iOS supports third party keyboard I don't think it would be impossible to create a virtual HID device.

Not really a solution, but an OK workaround for me as i am using two Laptops and an iPad as my current desktop setup - together with a single Logitech G915 keyboard and a Logitech G604 mouse which support both, the low latency Lightspeed protocol and Bluetooth.

One of the Laptops runs the Barrier server and is connected to a USB hub which hosts both Logitech Lightspeed USB receivers. The other Laptop runs the Barrier client. The iPad is connected via Bluetooh directly to the keyboard and the mouse. The mouse has one button on the top to toggle between Lightspeed protocol and Bluetooth. The keyboard as two buttons for the same purpose.

I still need to push a button on each keyboard and mouse if i want to switch both between iPad and the other computers, but at least i just have one keyboard and one mouse to work with all devices.

Have you tried Across Center, though I am really hoping for an open-source solution.
