ABSTRACT:
A method for input control of multiple computing devices from a single set of input devices begins by providing, by a master input device of the single set of input devices, a connection request to the multiple computing devices via a wireless channel, wherein the connection request identifies one of the multiple computing devices. The method continues by interpreting, by each of other ones of the multiple computing devices, the connection request to determine that the connection request is not addressing the each of the other ones of the multiple computing devices. In response to the connection request, the method continues by providing, by the one of the multiple computing devices, a connection response to the master input device via the wireless channel. The method continues by providing, by the one of the multiple computing devices, a slave connection request to at least one slave input device of the single set of input devices via the wireless channel. The method continues by, in response to the slave connection request, providing, by the at least one slave input device, a second connection response to the one of the multiple computing devices via the wireless channel such that the master input device and the at least one slave input device provide input to the one of the multiple computing devices via the wireless channel.
