I have made something similar by detaching the display from an old Macbook Air.
That gives me the keyboard that I love the most with the best trackpad, placed below the keyboard the way I like it, working with my PC.
- odshoifsdhfs 7y agoI have been thinking about doing this with an old macbookpro where the display died. Any tips/guides on how to make this 'machine' be just a remote keyboard/trackpad to another machine (namely a i5k iMac)
- kristiandupont 7y agoI run macos on it, and use a fork of Synergy called Barrier. It works quite well. Now and then I have to VNC to it to fix a problem and since the wifi antenna is in the display that doesn’t work so I use a USB ethernet widget to connect it.
- awiesenhofer 7y agoHow do you connect the two?
