Hey everyone,

I have a wired Apple Keyboard and Mouse to go with my PowerBook and iCurve Setup. I am getting ready to buy a 20" iMac and am trying to decide between getting the wired Keyboard/Mouse Set or the Bluetooth Set.

I would like to get the Bluetooth Set because it's wireless and I'm not fond of the Mighty Mouse. However, I don't want to get it unless I can use it interchangebly between my PowerBook and my iMac. My desk is plenty big, but too many keyboards and it starts getting cluttered . . .

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks,

Luke
 
If you are going to share one BT keyboard with 2 Macs, you have to pair your keyboard up with one of your Macs each time you use. The pairing is very quick and easy. But, in my case, I am lazy; so, I have 3 Apple BT keyboards/1 Apple Wired keyboard for my 4 Macs. Since the keyboard is wireless, if the unused keyboard is taking up the desk space, I put it aside.
 
Thanks for the reply!

Do you mean that you can switch between the two macs without plugging any wired devices into the mac you're switching to?
