Hey guys....
I figured I would post here, I tried in anothe forum and yet to get a response plus there is more then just Mac in this question.

I have my POwerbook that I use at home with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, I am getting a desktop PC to be able to play games.
I would like to be able to use one monitor for both....BUT, I would also like to be able to use the bluetooth gear for both.
I know I can buy the adapter for my PC, but what options do I have for like a KVM setup?

Any help would be great

Thanks

The only possible hope I could see would be running a blue tooth dongle from the KVM itself but I don't even think that would work... I don't know why you'd need bluetooth if the whole point is that you're in front of that specific monitor.

The only real reason I would want to use Bluetooh is because I spent the $100 on each mouse and keyboard because of my laptop and dont really wanty to waste that....I have come to accept that I am beat.

Thanks for the info
