Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would like to have the possibility to associate the Host Switch buttons on my MX Keys keyboard with the Change Host feature of the MX Master 2s, thus using the keyboard as some sort of KVM device. Usually both the keyboard and the mouse are paired with at least 2 receivers and it would be great to be able to go from one receiver to another by using the keyboard's Host Switch buttons.
Describe the solution you'd like Usually both the keyboard and the mouse are paired with at least 2 receivers and it would be great to be able to go from one receiver to another by using the keyboard's Host Switch buttons.
Describe alternatives you've considered None that I could find.
Additional context Nothing in particular, but I could provide extra information if needed.
It would be a great feature to be able to define a Custom Rule to trigger the Host switch of the mouse when the keyboard is being switched.
Thank you in advance!
