Is it possible to force a logitech device to switch to a different reciver? Like logitech flow on win/mac

I'm using multiple Linux Desktop Machines at the same time. Controlling them via those logitech keyboard and mice where you can press a button to switch to a different lt/bt-reciver (e.g. PC).

But it's very annoying if you switch very often back an forth.

It would be great to force them (e.g. via a shell command or an active Edge) to switch to a different reciver/PC

I'm currently using:

• Logitech MX Anywhere 2s (via bluetooth and lt-unified) to switch reciver, you have to press a button on the bottom of the mouse 🙄

• Logitech K380 (via Bluetooth)

• Logitech MX Keys (via unified-reciver)

How do you do it?

You might look into Synergy. It allows controlling multiple computers using only one keyboard/mouse. See for more details.

This is the result of some work(not mine) with Logitech Flow and sniffing what was sent to the mouse/keyboard from Flow to make them switch. Then just this hidapitester program to send the command yourself. Took some trial and error, but I got it to work for my MX Keys and Vertical Mouse.
