Once it’s there you can not only use your mouse to control the MacBook, but your keyboard will work with it as well. Connect to your computer, tablet, phone or all three at once - and stay comfortable throughout your workday - with the best wireless mouse. After a very short delay (accompanied by a bit of animation) the cursor will appear on the MacBook’s display. To control your laptop, just drag the cursor to the left side of the screen. Then, within the Teleport preference pane (which you access via System Preferences), choose a layout for your computers-your laptop on the left and your iMac on the right, fo instance.

Simply install it on each Mac and choose one Mac to serve as the host (meaning its input peripherals will be used to control any linked Macs). I have had luck, however, with Abyssoft’s donation-ware Teleport. A couple of applications that serve as GUI front ends to Synergy have been released- QSynergy and SynergyKM-but I’ve had no luck making them work with a Mac running Lion. In its native state it requires some Terminal mucking. This allows you to share a keyboard and mouse not only with another Mac but also Windows and Linux boxes. And there’s no intermediary device I’m aware of that you can pair to your Bluetooth keyboard and mouse that can then be used to switch between computers. The difficulty with a traditional KVM switch is that these devices have nothing to plug into, as they’re wireless. Does there exist some kind of Bluetooth KVM switch that I could use to share my keyboard and mouse with my laptop?

I control the iMac with a wireless keyboard and mouse and would love to use these devices to also control my MacBook Pro.

On my desk I have an iMac as well as a MacBook Pro, both of which I use throughout the day. Reader Alan Lynch has one keyboard, one mouse, and multiple Macs.
