If your post is only relevant to one hardware device (Deck/Machine/Frame/etc) please specify which one as part of the title or by using a device flair.
These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
- Follow the rules of Sopuli
- Posts must be related to Steam Hardware or Steam OS in an obvious way.

- Discussion of emulators are allowed, but no discussion on how to illegally acquire ROMs.
- This is a place of civil discussion, no trolling.
- Have fun.

I'd recommend Barrier over wireless/Bluetooth switching.
https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
It's in the package manager too. You just glide your mouse across to the decks display as though it were a second screen and your keyboard and mouse work seamlessly there. Alternatively you can switch with a keyboard shortcut.
The barrier repo is basically dead, input-leap is a fork from two of the previous maintainers and still actively developed: https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap/issues/1414 So unless you're using an apt based distro (which don't seem to have it packaged yet), I'd recommend using that instead.
That's awesome, didn't know that existed.
