Use your desktop or laptop screen and keyboard with your Pi

Meltwater has come up with a nice little trick which allows you to use your laptop or desktop?s display and keyboard as the display and keyboard for your Pi. You won?t need to do any soldering or to buy any special equipment: all you need is a network cable.



You?ll be using the network port to do this, so if you were relying on it to get internet connectivity you?ll need a wireless dongle too, but using another device?s keyboard and display means that you can cut right down on the kit you need to carry around if you?re bringing your Pi somewhere to show off your latest project.


Meltwater has made an exhaustive guide to setup for beginners available, alongside a cut-down version for advanced users who don?t need quite so much help.
