DeskHop-Fast Desktop Switching - Board + case

DeskHop is an open-source desktop switching device that lets you control two computers with a single keyboard and mouse. Unlike traditional KVM switches, DeskHop enables seamless switching—simply drag your mouse pointer from one desktop to the other.

Built around two Raspberry Pi Pico boards connected via UART and separated by a TI ISO7721DR dual-channel digital isolator, DeskHop provides full galvanic isolation between your computers. No software installation required on either machine, and it works across all major operating systems.
