Anyone know if this will work?

I'd like to share my Apple BT Keyboard with both Mac and PC. Is it possible to pull this off with a bluetooth dongle hanging off the Gefen KVM that removes usb access from non-switched device? or Will the keyboard still stay paired to Mac even if it has no access to the bluetooth dongle when KVM is switched?

I've tried a bunch of RF wireless and IR wireless keyboards and none are as reliable as the Apple BT. Obviously two keyboards would work, but this would be better if it worked. I'd probably pick up a wireless trackball if it works.

Asking for input before trying, because it will require me to remove the internal bluetooth card in the G5 to try it out.

Update:

It works better than I could have asked. OS X's bluetooth implementation meant I didn't even have to remove the internal module. When the KVM switches to the Mac, OS X has the bluetooth USB module override the internal one and all paired devices are paried to the usb device so that when you switch away it doesn't try to steal them back.

Gefen IR enabled DVI KVM and bluetooth keyboard makes HT integration with Mac and PC a piece of cake. Now I just need to get that bluetooth keyboard with built in trackball from inpace/motion.
