This mouse was a tad sleeker than the Macintosh mouse, and had a slightly different color. Just a few months after the Macintosh was released, the Apple IIc was introduced, bringing the mouse to the Apple II family. Originally beige, the Macintosh mouse came in Platinum after 1987. It connected to the original Macintosh via a DE–9 port, as it was before the ADB standard had been invented. Not unlike the Lisa mouse, the Macintosh Mouse featured a (now rubber, as opposed to steel) rollerball with a single, rectangle-shaped button in the center of its top.

This is the mouse that put mice on the map. Ultimately a failure, the Lisa was priced at $9,995. Often considered to be ahead of its time, the Lisa also offered protected memory, limited multitasking, hard disk support and more. I wish you the same.A year before the Macintosh was released, Apple’s Lisa introduced the concept of a GUI and mouse to Apple’s customers.

With this app I don't have to do a routine work and it makes me happy.

I personally use this software everyday and it saves me a lot of time and nerves. Host Mode is for an iMac, Client Mode is for a MacBook.

#Hard wired mouse for imac Bluetooth

If you need Bluetooth enabled on the both devices, you've to switch it on manually.Ĭonfiguration of the app is quite simple, you can see everything on the pictures below. Please note, that the app will disable Bluetooth on the MacBook, otherwise keyboard and mouse can't be connected back to the iMac. When you've done, just disconnect the cable and the app will return everything as it was (disable/enable Bluetooth, press Cmd+F2). Now you can use the iMac as a display with keyboard and mouse connected to the MacBook. If you did, they're connected automatically.

Download the app to the both iMac and MacBook, install and run it.you should don't forget to disable Bluetooth just before, otherwise keyboard and mouse will not be paired with the MacBook.you've to manually press Cmd+F2 each time.There're two main problems with Target Display Mode: There's VirtualKVM software solution by Duane Fields, which perfectly suites your needs. Of course: now you're stuck using IOGear's keyboard instead of the Apple peripherals. That, to me, seems like the more reliable approach. So you'd pair it with both Macs and the use the keyboard switches to decide which one you were talking to at any point in time. For example, this keyboard+trackpad combo from IOGear supports switching between 6 BlueTooth hosts. And then switch between those hosts from hardware keys on them. The other option is to seek out BlueTooth accessories that allow themselves to be paired with more than one host. How the Macs would respond to the BlueTooth receiver in the KVM coming and going as you switched between them is unclear to me.

Presumably you'd pair the keyboard and mouse with the BlueTooth receiver in the KVM instead of in either Mac and then using the keyboard shortcuts, switch between control of the Macs who are connected to the KVM via USB. 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).
