> How is your mouse and keyboard setup for gaming on Windows guests?
>
> By gaming I mean you pass your dedicated GPU through to a Windows 7 or 10
> guest to play Counter Strike, World of Warcraft, Rocket League, Skyrim etc.
>
> Personally I've only tried Synergy with the Linux host as server, and Win 10
> guest as client. This works reasonably well for non-first person shooters
> (FPS). In FPS games the camera tends to go completely haywire when moving
> the mouse.
>
> Are people binding mouse/keyboard to the guest (no longer usable on host),
> and then run the Synergy on Windows, and client on Linux host?
>
> I look forward to hear about your setups! The goal is to have mouse and
> keyboard on both Linux host and Windows host, and mouse working in 3D games
> (like CS, WoW, etc.).

Try use input-linux in the qemu options (see this
https://www.redhat.com/archives/vfio-users/2016-September/msg00007.html
for example.)
