I want to use one PC as a USB keyboard for another PC. It has to be indistinguishable from actual USB keyboard. How can I achieve this?
A solution that works with any of Ubuntu Linux 14 and above, OS X 10.11 or Windows 10 would be acceptable. Should work with USB 2.0 or 3.0.
EDIT: the machine to receive the input should not require any specific software installed or network access. I need to use a physical USB cable and the destination machine should react as if a physical keyboard is present on that USB port.
it is about: computer software
and i'm not asking about a product / service / learning material recommendation – miguelv – 2016-09-26T11:10:31.730
1I have reworded your question so that it doesn't sound like software recommendation question. – gronostaj – 2016-09-26T11:11:59.307
ok, maybe it's not a software recommendation, but still of a low quality. What OS do you use? What have you already tried ... Please read How do I ask a good question? and improve it.

And frankly I'm a bit disappointed at the community since I've had to jump from Stack Exchange community to community and always getting dismissed as off-topic or as too generic of a problem and very little constructive effort from anyone except @gronostaj being put in to help me solve a genuine problem that should have a well known solution IMO. – miguelv – 2016-09-26T11:23:05.643
The question is very clear to me, and I agree it should have better answers. Imagine you have a machine you can't change the software on, but it does have a USB keyboard. You want to automate some typing by using another computer to simulate a USB keyboard device. Surely there are existing devices for this. – Greg Chabala – 2019-03-19T01:09:44.373
