Hello,
I wanted to write my user experience with Deskhop and how grateful I am to @hrvach.
I work from home for a company that does not allow any software installation for security purposes. They provide a laptop.
I did not want to buy a Level1 KM Switch for 200 USD and I stumble on this github on a old reddit post.
My setup is the following:
Gaming PC (Windows 10)
Laptop (Windows 10)
Since I live in Canada, it was a no brainer to purchase the DeskHop Jr. from @ak66666. He flashed it with firmware 0.68.
I received it in few days, I plugged it in... and I could not believe my eyes... it worked instantly.
EVERYTHING worked immediately: Switching screen/computer, dual screen on the gaming computer, gaming mode to "stay" on the gaming pc, macros on the mouse (onboard memory), locking both computers with one shortcut.
I played Helldivers 2 for a couple of hours, I did not notice any added input lag or weird behavior whatsoever.
I did not have to configure a damn thing, it's better than any retail technology device I bought in the last few years.
It should not be called "Fast" Desktop Switching but rather "Instant" Desktop Switching.
So far, the few minor inconveniences I have are:
A massive thank you to @hrvach for developing such an impressive piece of tech and @ak66666 for making a retail-like version.
