2 PCs on one screen (G9), 2 windows, same mouse and keyboard?

Hello,

I have set up 2 PCs on my Samsung Odyssey G9 screen, each with a window.
I am using 2 mice and 2 keyboards.
Is it possible to use just one keyboard and one mouse on the screen?
I see switches, etc.
Can it work?
One more small question...
I use 2 PCs because I don't want PC 1 to "see" that I am using a certain program while using another.
Even if we find a solution to use just one mouse and one keyboard, will this solution risk letting PC 1 see that PC 2 is using that specific program?
I hope I have made myself clear.
Thank you

Configuration: Android / Chrome 97.0.4692.87

    Hello,

    Switching from one screen to another, software installed on both, with a master and a slave, and when the master's mouse moves beyond its screen, it goes to the second screen, controlling the second PC (mouse + keyboard): ShareMouse

      I tried, but there are a lot of settings.
      Moreover, I think it uses the network.
      And I'm quite afraid that it allows PC1 to see that PC2 is using the program when it can't (and doesn't know).
      Otherwise, regarding hardware switches, isn't there a device like that?
      Where we could plug the mouse and keyboard into it and it would output to both PCs? (which are on the same screen)

        With the software, there is no communication about what the other is doing, and even if it uses the network, it works well. And it's easy to test; you install the software, I use it from time to time, and it seems to me that there are hardly any settings.

        Otherwise, you take a classic KVM and you don't connect the screens, just the keyboard/mouse.

        I tried and I have a window with all sorts of settings. However, I only put it on one PC.

    Or a hardware version, a Logitech USB Unifying adapter for each PC, and a single keyboard + mouse that switches between the 2 PCs

      It shouldn't switch, actually. I need to go from one to the other without having to press a button. Does that exist?

    There is that, but I don't think we can go back and forth without pressing the button. Right?

        And does it work for the keyboard too? Should I install it on both PCs then? I'll try it and let you know.. Thank you.
