I want to connect 10 different windows PC to one mouse & keyboard. So whatever I do with that mouse & keyboard should happen on all 10 computers same to same at same time.

For example, I move mouse to top left corner of screen. Then ok ALL 10 COMPUTERS THE MOUSE SHOULD BE AT TOP LEFT CORNER.

Say I open word with help of keyboard & type HI.

THIS SHOULD HAPPEN ON ALL 10 COMPUTERS SAME TO SAME AT THE SAME TIME.

How is this possible ?

    Hello Mandar Aryamane

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    Assuming that you are currently controlling ten other physical computers from one physical computer, this case is essentially a multi-computer setup, where multiple computers are controlled by a single set of input devices. Here are some suggestions that might do this:

    Disclaimer: The following suggestions may involve some hardware introduction, but Microsoft does not manufacture these Hardwares, and you may need to search for companies that manufacture these Hardwares.

    1. KVM Switch: A KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch allows you to connect multiple computers to a single set of input devices. With a KVM switch, you can switch between the different computers by pressing a button on the switch itself or by using a hotkey on the keyboard. However, this solution does not allow simultaneous control of all computers, which seems to be a requirement for your use case.
    2. Software-based solutions: There are several software-based solutions that allow you to control multiple computers from a single keyboard and mouse, you can move your mouse from one screen to another seamlessly, and your keyboard will automatically switch to control the computer that the mouse is currently on.
    3. Hardware-based solutions: There are hardware-based solutions that can help you achieve simultaneous control of multiple computers. One such solution is called the multi-Point services. With this method, you can control multiple computers using multiple keyboards and mice, all at the same time. For more details of this services, you can click the following article

    Hope it helps! If any update, feel free to let me know.

    Do you know any specific software that works with a wired keyboard? I can't seem to find any.
