I’ve been searching for a perfect mouse and keyboard combo for my media pc and living room pc. Over the years I have tried many different mouse and keyboard combos, and while all of them worked relatively well… I still kept looking for a better solution.
This tells me two things. First, what is currently available on the market does not work really well for my use-case. And second… I should probably stop being so nitpicky and building everything custom. 🙂
The video above walks you all the way from the initial problem, explains a couple of different solutions that might be useful for others but in the end did not work that well for me. And finally the solution that I custom built for my use-case and hopefully somebody else will find it useful or at least interesting.

Any more info about this CEC dongle? Model? Manufacturer?
There are plenty of options available. Best to search for one that works well with you OS/use-case.
