I use a Macbook Pro and a Windows Laptop each with its own dedicated monitor. I also have an Apple Magic Trackpad 2 that works great on both Mac and Windows 10. Does anyone know of a solution where the Magic Trackpad can be shared between the two computers without having to manually disconnect from one to move to the other? Essentially a KM switch that would work with the Magic Trackpad 2?

The software solutions sharemouse or synergy might work for this. It's not exactly a switch but it virtually connects the computers allowing you to move between the screens as if it was a multi monitor setup.

Neither of these solutions emulate the magic mouse functionality. They are 3rd party software that use the LAN network to broadcast packets which cause frequent collisions in my experience. I think a hardware solution is more secure. Thank you for your suggestion however.– webwormJun 28, 2021 at 0:22
