Simulating a keyboard's output (making a computer pose as another computer's keyboard)

Viewed 22260

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.

P.S. 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.
