KVM Switches with Bluetooth?


I'm honestly not certain if this is a thing, but I figured folks here would know.

I'm looking for a KVM switch that supports connecting a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard to the switch and then properly shares that connection with the connected computer. My goal is to avoid pairing devices with two separate machines at the same time.

Ever see anything like this?

It would help to know more about what devices and operating systems you plan to use.

Logitech makes mice and keyboards that can pair with multiple bluetooth devices and are switch selectable on the keyboard.

If your willing to do DIY, there are several KVM projects based around the raspberry pi which could be made to funnel the bluetooth as well. I would start at https://hackaday.com/tag/kvm/

This might help http://handheldsci.com/kb/ as bluetooth to usb which then plugs into kvm

synergy or barrier could provide a software solution
