[QUOTE="passat4012, post: 961568, member: 108492"] First off thanks for all of the help I have gotten from everyone on the forum. I recently switched to Mac and I will never go back to a pc. I know this is unrelated to Mac's. You guys have never failed me before though!! My office has two pc's running through a KVM switch. They have been working on a MS wireless keyboard and mouse. My problem is the receiver went out on the keyboard and mouse. I purchased a new bluetooth keyboard and mouse from Best Buy. I got the Rocketfish brand. I have been using another Rocketfish set up for awhile now and have never had a problem. Anyway, I hooked the bluetooth dongle up to the USB slot on the KVM. The KVM has two USB slots, one for the keyboard and one for the mouse. When I try to use the keyboard and mouse only one of them works. The one that works depends on which USB slot the dongle is in. My question is if I get a KVM that also has a bluetooth adapter in it can I use my keyboard and mouse through that instead of the dongle? Here is the hardware I have. KVM Switch [URL="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/IOGEAR+-+2-Port+USB+KVM+Switch+with+Cables/6191569.p?id=1067390694346&skuId=6191569&st=kvm &cp=1&lp=2"]http://www.bestbuy.com/site/IOGEAR+-+2-Port+USB+KVM+Switch+with+Cables/6191569.p?id=1067390694346&skuId=6191569&st=kvm &cp=1&lp=2[/URL] Mouse and Keyboard [url=http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketfish%26%23153%3B+-+Wireless+Bluetooth+Keyboard+and+Mouse+-+Black/9432303.p?id=1218104522798&skuId=9432303]Rocketfish™ - Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse - Black - RF-BTCMBO2[/url] This is what im thinking of getting.
