How can I duplicate mouse and keyboard USB HID input across multiple computers? [closed]

How can I send the same USB HID input to 2-4 Windows PCs from a single mouse and keyboard? I.e. mouse movement on one system causes identical mouse movement on the other connected system(s).
I think I need a hardware solution, or software that will capture and input before Xinput/DirectInput to be compatible.

You didn't know, but since this needs a hardware solution, this question sorta kinda fits better in hardwarerecs.stackexchange.com

These are all software KVM solutions that won't achieve the desired behavior. Will add clarification to the question. Input Director comes closest, but duplicating the mouse with Input Director doesn't work with Xinput/DirectInput on the non-source systems. The cursor doesn't move.
