Connect Magic Keyboard To Multiple Devices

Windows 10 seems to read the Magic Keyboard as a separate device, complete with a screen, so it will present a code in the window and the text 'Compare the passcodes,' under the assumption that it. No, the Magic Keyboard is really only to be used with one device at a time. I have managed to set it up across native Bootcamp Windows and macOS without repairing on every reboot, but with other devices, one would have to re-pair on each device switch. Answered by Jannis M 23 Feb 2020. Okay, so I also tried to connect the Apple Magic Keyboard to Windows 10 and I ran into several problems. As long as I had it connected via USB, it couldn't be discovered by Windows 2. Even when pairing was then initialized, Windows showed a driver problem So I unplugged the keyboard and installed the mentioned Magic Utilities. Both the keyboard and trackpad happily pair with multiple devices. It all works great and I don't need to power cycle the keyboard and Bluetooth. Simply toggling Bluetooth on the MBPs in a proper order works well. Turn off Bluetooth on the current computer you are using them with then turn on Bluetooth on the other. If you've got multiple computers at your desk, you probably know that it's a pain to use more than one keyboard and mouse. Here's how to use a single keyboard and mouse on more than one PC using a tool from Microsoft.

Apple

We have two MacBook Airs running El Capitan 10.11.3. We have setup an office environment for a docking/clamshell configuration with an external monitor, Magic Mouse 2, and a Magic Keyboard. As one of us needs to use this office setup, we dock the MacBook and proceed to use the Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Keyboard. However, each time a MacBook is swapped, we have to re-pair the mouse and keyboard using the Lightning connector because the swapped system throws a 'Connection Unsuccessful. Please pair this device again.' error.


Are these two peripherals unable to maintain pairing configurations to multiple Macs? I've read multiple write-ups on this site describing how to pair to multiple Macs using the Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse. It would be pretty disappointing if this feature was discarded. In fact, we'll return these peripherals if that's the case. We understand the devices will not connect concurrently to two Macs, and it would be nice if we didn't have to re-pair the devices via lightning connector each time we swapped the laptop being used in the office,
