I use this and it works very well. I also want to add that it shares the clipboard across all of the PCs. In fact I can even copy from my iPhone and paste into a windows PC, via my MacBook.

I also have a few PCs and use the input selection on my monitor to achieve the KVM aspect. The only issue I found is that if no monitor is actively connected to a windows machine, barrier server doesn’t work well, and also you can’t Remote Desktop to it. I solved both of these by adding a dummy HDMI dongle, set to a low resolution so application windows can’t get stuck there.

Not a perfect solution but the best I’ve found since my goals were: to use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and not worry about limitations to refresh rate, etc.
