Hi Jason,

But... that means you need a two consoles KVM, otherwise how the presenter
and the node operator share 1 keyboard&mouse?

The second problem is that I've been looking for wireless keyboard&mouses
and it seems to me that the distance can't be longer than 4m but in
bluetooth devices. Is that correct?


Kind regards,
Natalia.
