Hi !

would it be possible to implement USB/IP https://usbip.sourceforge.net/ ?

I guess it might not be secure enough for Internet but it would be usable through a private network or VPN...

I've just had a look to inputtino and I have to say I'm not yet convinced by the "easy to use" statement.
I might be missing something but every blog posts linked on the README are about low level components and source code manipulations...

Every user that has ever streamed via Wolf or Sunshine (on Linux) have used a virtual device created via inputtino, I have never heard that it was complex to use a mouse or a keyboard. 😅

It's not really up to me, if it ever gets implemented into the Moonlight protocol we can look into it. I guess you can ask about it here: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/issues/1470
