Hey

I have a Apple Magic Mouse / Keyboard which I use on my work pc / MacBook whilst one of the 2 are docked on my desk with a FireWire docking station - issue is it’s always abit of a pain having to unpair the mouse / keyboard from one or the other depending on which I’m switching too.

I was wondering if I was to get a cheap usb Bluetooth dongle connected directly to the docking station so that the keyboard / mouse connect to this instead of the pc / mac directly would this solve the issue and make them work on which ever one was docked at the time.

Has anyone tried similar, I’ve no experience using Bluetooth dongles with Macs and wouldn’t want to mess up airpod pairing etc

Cheers
Marc
