I have tried different terminals like konsole , mintty
mintty gives Unknown option '-b'
konsole outputs some other messages
'Unknown options: b, g, f, g, x, r, m, f, o, n, t
But none of them opens up any terminal so only xterm works fine

Terminals have to satisfy specific requirements to be able to be used with cssh - this is because the cssh console needs to be able to send messages (desktop events) into the terminal, such as keystrokes. Not all terminals allow this.

xterm allows such use by using the X setting -xrm '*.VT100.allowSendEvents:true and is one of the very few that does (I opened a number of issue tickets against other terminal to use this standard feature but after many years of waiting they still have not been done).

If you want to use other terminals I suggest you check through your terminal documentation for using the SendEvents configuration and raise it with the terminal author as required.
