When are you estimating Windows Server will be ready to test?

I have a windows gaming desktop paired with a linux desktop, and in order to use all the features of my mouse windows has to be the host.

I'm excited to test it out when it's ready for testing.

By the way, another option here is usbip, which has a perfectly functional windows counterpart, called usbipd. Assuming you're comfortable with some port fowarding, it's trivial to sub-second switch your mouse+keyboard over to another device over the network. It's not the same as having it moving on some screen edge, but there's no reason you couldn't script that too.

Anyway. I have no need for something as "big" as rkvm now, since I can just rely on usbip.

I think that usbredir is also an option but there are even fewer examples of using that in standalone, non-SPICE applications.

Thinking about this more, there are some interesting ideas of what to do with rkvm...

Ideas for implementing event_manager for windows:

I'm working on what I call a 'hybrid KVM', and I'm also finding I need a USB over IP implementation. However, I see the existing ones as inadequate, and I'm working on my own now - encrypted, over TCP with msgpack encoding. Driver signing will be a pain, and I don't have a Mac, but I'm currently planning it out. I'm keeping an eye on this issue....
