I’m looking to use a Raspberry Pi Zero to act as a USB mouse for a computer. I’m wanting to move my mouse on a remote computer and have it correspond and move the cursor on the PC the PiZero is connected to. In other words, I want to do a Remote Desktop except control it via USB instead of software on the host computer. Is this possible or is there a better way? enter image description here

Additionally my objective is to control the computer remotely without there being any indication that the input is anything other than a standard USB mouse.

  • Raspberry Pi Zero (or any HDMI output) can't be changed to be an input. You need a HDMI->USB grabber/converter, so you need just one Raspberry Pi. Take a look at pikvm.org as it's goal is just what you are asking for.

There is an OpenSource Project called PiKVM. You can not only remotely use your mouse, but also keyboard an see your monitor output. It works with a Raspberry PI Zero W, but has a lot more performance with a Raspberry PI 4.
