Dear Hrvach, first of all i wanna tell you how i am happy when i found your project, it reply to a need that i had since many years.

I have 4 computers and i wanna try to connect all of them with the same mouse and keyboard ( the first computer has 2 screens, the second 1 the third one and the last one screen also).

Do you think that you will be able to extend your project on this need?

I will be very happy to buy all what you ill tell me to buy and test it, 2 3 4 5 computer, i can make all the tests you need and i will be very quick to reply.

I'm really happy if it will make your user experience better and more convenient, that was the whole point!

Multiple computer support seems to be a popular demand, and it's definitely on the roadmap. My idea is to try making it as stable and usable as possible in a 2-machine scenario first, since that is a use-case most people care for, and then use that as a base to expand on and increase the number of devices supported.

My wishful thinking is to not create another device in a different size, but have just one model that's extendable, so you can hook two boxes together with some cable and have 4 devices supported.

I'll do it as soon as I can, but my daily job gets the priority since that puts bread on the table. :)
