[vfio-users] Mouse and keyboard for gaming

[Jonas Camillus Jeppesen]

Hi everyone

This is not strictly vfio related, but many people associate vfio with 
gaming on virtual machines on Linux, so that's my justification for 
posting my question here.

How is your mouse and keyboard setup for gaming on Windows guests?

By gaming I mean you pass your dedicated GPU through to a Windows 7 or 
10 guest to play Counter Strike, World of Warcraft, Rocket League, 
Skyrim etc.

Personally I've only tried Synergy with the Linux host as server, and 
Win 10 guest as client. This works reasonably well for non-first person 
shooters (FPS). In FPS games the camera tends to go completely haywire 
when moving the mouse.

Are people binding mouse/keyboard to the guest (no longer usable on 
host), and then run the Synergy on Windows, and client on Linux host?

I look forward to hear about your setups! The goal is to have mouse and 
keyboard on both Linux host and Windows host, and mouse working in 3D 
games (like CS, WoW, etc.).
