This may be an impossible request, but I'm looking for some way, or some software to install, that lets me choose which device I want to type on at a particular moment.

For example: Most of the time I am typing on my iMac. But when a text message comes in, or I want to type a long password on my iPhone, I want to use my apple bluetooth keyboard to type on my iPhone for a bit, and then switch back to typing on my iMac.

While a device (iMac or iPhone) can have a number of peripherals attached it it, a peripheral can only be attached to one device at a time. So you will need to re-pair it every time.

  • That is a good point. The problem is more with the bluetooth hardware vs. the Mac (or iOS) software.

I just came across this keyboard from Logitech that is a hardware solution to do what you want.

This keyboard is a MAC keyboard that can be programed to switch devices with one button.
