One monitor with MBA and Mini

[Wingnut330]

Hello all,

I'm considering keeping my Mini and getting a 23 ACD to connect it to. I would also like to connect my MBA to the same monitor. I want to do this in a somewhat elegant way without wires everywhere. Is there some kind of splitter or switch box I can use?

Also, can I share my wireless keyboard and wireless mighty mouse between each machine?

Yes, it's called a KVM Switch (keyboard, video, mouse). Its purpose is exactly what you are asking for.

What about the keyboard and mouse. They are bluetooth, so I'm not sure the KVM would work in the scenario...

You should check out Dr. Bott. We have some at work in our IT department and they seem to be well worth the cash. I've bought a cheap KVM before and it was so quirky and touchy I couldn't stand to use it.

I think this is the link you were wanting to post:

Which of these models do you use at your work?

Anyone have any experience with this model?

Those work well, but if you are using bluetooth, it wont work.
