DeskHop-Fast Desktop Switching - Board + case

DeskHop is a desktop switching device to control two computers with a single keyboard/mouse. What's different about this project is the ability to seamlessly switch between the two computers, simply by dragging the mouse from one desktop to the other. It supports all three major operating systems, there is no software installed on either device and it's designed with security and safety in mind.
The circuit is based on two Raspberry Pi Pico boards, chosen because they are cheap and readily available. The Picos are connected using UART and separated by a dual-channel digital isolator, TI ISO7721DR.
The case is 3d printed, without any screws and relies on a snap-fit system to both hold the PCB firmly inside the case, and hold the lid tightly sealed.
All of the schematics, gerbers, case stl, source code, binaries and documentation can be found on the project's homepage (https://github.com/hrvach/deskhop)
