I cannot attest to how well that would work. For example, the Zonet KVM3322W (dead link) worked over USB and provided BlueTooth receiver capabilities. You can find KVM switches that have BlueTooth host receivers in them. You need a BlueTooth host that's "central" to both Macs if you want to use them. They don't pair with more than one BlueTooth host at a time. The trouble is with the devices, the Apple mouse and the keyboard in your case. I want to avoid de-pairing and re-pairing the devices each time I want to shift them back or forth.īasically is there software or hardware that works as a Bluetooth KVM switch? It's not clear to me how I would tell the MacBook Pro to leave the devices alone so the iMac can have them for the evening.
Is it possible to easily share the single set of input devices without having to repeatedly break and reestablish the pairing of the input device to the correct computer? I'm not opposed to buying some type of additional hardware to accomplish this, provided it's not prohibitively costly or cumbersome to use or configure. I'd like to get rid of the wired keyboard and mouse and just use the Bluetooth stuff for both machines (but never simultaneously). During the workday, my iMac acts as a second display for my Macbook Pro via Mini Displayport.Ĭurrently, I use a USB keyboard and mouse for my work computer and a Bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse + Magic Trackpad for use with my personal computer. I work out of my house where I have two computers: a mid-2010 Macbook Pro (for my day job) and a mid-2010 iMac (personal).
