comment by resonanttoe · 2024-01-02 · in LAN Mouse: Mouse and keyboard sharing software

There is an actively developed fork https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap , however that fork is still undergoing heavy development and recommends sticking with Barrier until they're able to release v3.0.0 which they expect rather soon.

Can someone comment on Barrier vs input-leap? ( https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap ?) It looks like input-leap has drag-drop in the works, but apart from that I have no clue which one is the blessed one right now.
