Thanks much for the quick reply. &nbsp;I can easily disconnect the bluetooth keyboard in the mac dropdown. &nbsp;I hope it's that simple in Win7.<br />
<br />
As you know, this mac unix pro is amazing. &nbsp;I have two monitors, one connected to the mac one connected to Win7, A cat5 cable with a thunderbolt interface connecting the two systems, a mac usb port connected to a Wacom tablet and the bluetooth keyboard. &nbsp; &nbsp;I connected and it worked, correctly configured to the device, with no endless driver and config problems. &nbsp;I should have done this decades ago. &nbsp;But I always built my own systems until Microsoft went berserk. &nbsp;<br />

It has always been simple for me in Windows. Just pair and it works.

I have a MacBook Pro and a Win7 desktop on my desk. &nbsp;I'm migrating from Win7 to Mac. &nbsp;I want to remove the huge Microsoft USB keyboard. &nbsp;I want to share the Apple bluetooth keyboard with my Win7 desktop. &nbsp;I could turn bluetooth off when I wanted to switch computers. &nbsp; The question is: will this work and does Win 7 have bluetooth drivers that will work with the Apple keyboard?<br />

Can I share an Apple Bluetooth keyboard with a Win 7 computer?

All of Apple's hardware is produced solely by Apple Inc., who determines internal systems, designs, and prices. Apple buys certain components wholesale from third-party manufacturers. The current Mac product family uses Intel x86-64 processors. All Mac models ship with at least 1 GB RAM as standard. Current Mac computers use ATI Radeon or nVidia GeForce graphics cards and include a dual-function DVD and CD burner, called the SuperDrive. Current Apple hardware includes the iPad, iPhone, iMac, Mac Pro, Macbook, iPod and Apple TV. Discontinued hardware includes the Apple I, Apple II, and the Apple III, the Lisa, the Newton, the Quadra, Performa, Centris, Macintosh II and LC series, the Power Macintosh, iBooks and the MacBook.

Apple Hardware

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
