If you’re new to the Mac platform, or just need a refresher on how to connect your devices, this guide will show you everything you need to know about connecting an iMac Bluetooth keyboard and mouse in no time.
How to connect the iMac to mouse and keyboard?
One of the great things about Apple products is that they’re designed to work together seamlessly. That’s why connecting an iMac Bluetooth keyboard and mouse is so simple and straightforward. Here’s what you need to do:
1. First, make sure your iMac is powered on and that both the keyboard and mouse are turned on and in range.
2. Then, open the System Preferences panel on your iMac.
3. Click on the “Bluetooth” icon.

4. Make sure the “Enable Bluetooth” box is checked.
5. Click on the “Pair” button next to the keyboard and mouse in the “Devices” list.
6. Enter the PIN code that appears on the screen.
7. That’s it! Your iMac Bluetooth keyboard and mouse are now connected and ready to use.
Of course, if you have any trouble connecting your devices, you can always contact technicians who can help you.
One thing to keep in mind is that, while Bluetooth is a great wireless technology, it does have some limitations. For example, Bluetooth has a maximum range of about 30 feet, so if you’re using your keyboard and mouse from across the room, you may experience some occasional connection issues.
If you find that you’re having trouble with your Bluetooth connection, you may want to try using a USB wired keyboard and mouse instead. Alternatively, you can also try moving your devices closer to your iMac to ensure a stronger connection.
