That will be difficult.

For one, USB has a single master (normally the one and only PC) polling all the slave peripherals. In your set-up there would be two masters. And USB connectors enforce this single-master concept by being polarized, you can't physically connect two masters using commercially available cables.

However modifying a cable is only a small part of a possible solution. The protocol itself will fail with multiple masters. You basically have to turn your laptop-acting-as-keyboard into a USB slave device,
disable its plug-and-play logic, then make it send keyboard packets rather than receive them.

If and when you succeed, please do write a CodeProject article on the subject.

PS: I expect you also want to use the laptop's display as a monitor? over USB??
