Hi, I have a PC and a Mac on the same desk. To save desk space, I would prefer to use only one Magic Keyboard with Touch for both computers. What is the best way to do it?

I use a Magic Keyboard with the cable attached, plugged into my monitor's USB port (which, in turn is plugged into whatever computer I'm using). When you switch computers, the keyboard will automatically switch over too.

Using a Mac keyboard on a PC, or visa versa, might result in unexpected keyboard mappings or unworkable special keys. I've mapped a PC keyboard to a Mac (reversing option and command) but haven't tried it going the other way.
