Keyboard Only mode?

[KleskReaver]

I'm wondering if Deskflow can be used to share only the Keyboard between 2 PC's and not have any of the Mouse code running at all?

In my setup I have 2 mice and 1 Keyboard and any software KM switchers have problems with minimising full-screen games when using a hotkey to switch between PC's due to Mouse sharing

My working alternative was a hardware KM switcher that I only had the keyboard hooked up to (thus avoiding the mouse) but 99% of those devices have a 3-5 second delay when switching, and also cause some minor issues due to the fact that its basically the same as unplugging the keyboard physically and plugging it back in when switching (keyboard gets removed from Windows device manager)

Can anyone point me in the direction of a solution for keybaord only switching via software?

We do not have a "keyboard only" mode the closest thing we have is that you can enable the screen lock by default and have it so you need to press scroll lock to allow the transition . You can also make hotkeys to switch to a specific machine.

Tried the hotkey method, it still minimises full screen games, I just need keyboard sharing to prevent this behaviour and there doesn't seem to be any software out there that can help

Thanks anyways!

Found a solution,
Enable "Don't take foreground window (Windows only)" will stop full screen games from minimising
Also enable "Enable lock to computer at startup"
Create a hotkey to "Switch to next computer"

Seems to be working great, doesn't prevent mouse from being carried over but its the closest with this app
