The problem with Bluetooth is that it just doesn't work well when you want to use one keyboard or mouse with multiple computers.
For this reason I prefer the dongles. Want to use your mouse on a different Mac? Just plug the dongle in a different computer.
I don't know how often I ended up at the password prompt with no way to type the password because the keyboard didn't connect, or was connected to a different Mac, and I had no idea how to get it to connect to the Mac I was trying to start.

- Nextgrid 5y agoLogitech also has a Bluetooth variant of this where the mouse will have 3 different "personalities" that you can associate with different devices and then switch with a button. As far as the host devices are concerned it's 3 different mice so there's no switching involved. It works great and it's the best of both worlds. Convenient and no dongles (Bluetooth on my MacBook was very reliable for a mouse).
