Highlights - Converts RS232 serial to USB keyboard. N-gage 2.0 N95 here. - Optional USB power on pin 9 of RS232 end. - Available in Czech, English, French(France), French(Canada), German, Hungarian, Italian and Spanish keyboard emulations. - Eliminates the need to install any device driver or keyboard redirector software. Simply plug it in and any serial input will become a keyboard input - Draws power from USB port.

No external power source required. - Extended Keyboard controls allows the serial device to control PC functions by sending upper ASCII characters into the serial end of the cable. For example sending a character 181 into the serial end of the cable, will invoke function key F1 on the HID keyboard end and so on. - Limited bidirectional capability allows the use of certain hotkey on host keyboard to send a command string to the RS232 device. - Cable Length 74in (1880 mm) - Certifications & Compliance: FCC, ICS, CE and RoHS.

Keyboard Wedge Emulation: Barcode scanners can be connected to PC through serial port, Keyboard Wedge, or USB port. The RS-232 (Developed by Electronic Industries. I want to be able to connect a computer A's USB port to computer B's USB port so as to make computer A act as computer B's keyboard. Any idea how I would go about.

I want to be able to connect a computer A's USB port to computer B's USB port so as to make computer A act as computer B's keyboard. Any idea how I would go about doing that? I'm not looking for a ready-made solution (though if one already exists and is open-sources I would not object), but for a starting point or a good resource. I imagine I'd need to write a driver that simulates the keyboard's protocol, and I would also need to sort out the entire USB master/slave scenario.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated. I want to do it with the mouse as well, but I imagine it will be a very similar process, and I think (but I might be wildly mistaken) that starting with the keyboard will be easier. If it wasn't for the USB, I'd connect the two via LAN and have a client/server C# program that emulates a keyboard / mouse (e.g. Via DirectInput). For the USB part as far as I can tell you'll need some hardware adapter. If you're into hardware development or at least unafraid of a soldering iron and some µc programming, have a look at where a HID stack for a small atmel chip is available for free. For this solution you'd need two atmega chips which communicate via I²C or SPI or such.
