Comment 2 Prajna Sariputra 2023-02-16 08:23:39 UTC 
On Plasma remote input should work properly (both keyboard and mouse) with Plasma 5.27 and KDE Connect 23.04 once both are released, which is bug 429173.

Sway (and wlroots based stuff in general) however currently lacks support for the XDG remote desktop portal (see https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/issues/2), which is what KDE Connect 23.04 will use for remote input functionality, so I think that would now be an upstream issue rather than a KDE Connect issue.
