Intel had a similar keyboard/mouse app. The experience was seemless and elegant but it was scrapped.
I've tried KDE connect but it does not compare, and is often a little buggy.
- pmontra 4y agoI don't know if that Intel software was only about keyboard and mouse but KDEConnect does much more than that. I'm using it with my GNOME laptop and my Android phones and tablet to send files from one device to another one, open browser tabs usually from phone to desktop and occasionally to ring my phone from the desktop when I don't find it. Keyboard and mouse, almost never. Edit: it also mutes the audio of the laptop when I make or receive a call on the phone.
- chupasaurus 4y agoProbably because KDE Connect was made originally on top of KIO [0] library, which wasn't designed for real time data exchange. [0] https://community.kde.org/KIO https://community.kde.org/KIO
