I will soon have two macbooks on my desktop in front of me. I hope to use the older macbook to run background tasks, like uploading videos to youtube and as a third monitor.
I have keychron k1 keyboard and an mx master mouse. Keychron is currently connected to the USB hub due to led lights, latency. But the keyboard has a battery and can work off of bluetooth. Mouse is connected through the tiny dongle that comes with logitech mouses. Both Keyboard and Mouse claim to work off Bluetooth.
Can I use this program to share the keyboard and mouse between the two macbooks? Or is using Bluetooth or a kvm switch a better option?
- mjlee 5y agoI think Universal Control (in the current MacOS 12.3 Release Candidate, should be public next week) will do what you want.
- weikju 5y ago"older macbook" might imply that one of the two machines will not support UC though
- djrogers 5y agoConsidering that 12.3 is supported on MacBooks going back 7+ years, that's not necessarily the case.
- weikju 5y agoWhile 12.3 (and iPadOS 15.4) support older versions, Universal Control has more stringent requirements and only supports: MacBook Pro (2016 and later) MacBook (2016 and later) MacBook Air (2018 and later) iMac (2017 and later) iMac (5K Retina 27-inch, Late 2015) iMac Pro, Mac mini (2018 and later) Mac Pro (2019) All iPad Pros iPad Air (3rd generation and later) iPad (6th generation and later) iPad mini (5th generation and later)
