multiple wireless keyboards

Hi guys/girls,

We just bought a new iMac with the wireless keyboard. The problem is I need my keyboard in another format (my wife uses this azerty one) so I plan to buy a normal US-qwerty wireless keyboard. Do you know if it's possible to use both wireless keyboards at the same time (I mean without having to disconnect either when you use the other one).

Thank you all for the help.

Dolf,

Let us know how things work and stick around, this is a great place to pick up tips. As you can see, a response by one of the regulars can tweak the interest of others who jump in and start an exchange...often with the result of great information being passed around.

What a wonderful idea. You know I have to write bilingual texts in Russian and Greek and then English which means I have to change keyboard eery 3 words!

It is exausting.

I thought, if I installed a bluetooth in English and opened the screen keyboard in English, I would have both of the worlds.

You an use the keyboard shortcut Control plus Space (Command plus Space before El Capitan) to easily switch the layout of your hardware keyboard (and the Keyboard Viewer) among English, Russian, and Greek, if that helps.
