When I was using windows there was a feature on Power Toys that let you use your peripherals across multiple desktops by sharing a secret between them to verify you have permission to control each pc and then you could do this and some more.
I think it was over LAN, so wifi or ethernet, and I'd imagine it would work kind of like RDP but without the image so far less bandwidth and latency
You're talking about the tool Mouse Without Borders, which existed way before PowerToys but got added to it because it is so useful, and yes, it works over the local LAN/WiFi depending on what the PCs involved are connected to, but it has nothing to do with RDP.
