The Apple magic Bluetooth keyboard is not capable of pairing with more than one device at a time. If it is paired with your Mac mini, and you wish to use it with your android phone, you will need to pair it with the android phone. Then, when you want to use it again with your Mac mini, you will need to pair it again with the Mac mini. If you want a Bluetooth keyboard that is capable of pairing with more than one device at a time, I would suggest you take a look at the logitech K380 keyboard. This keyboard is capable of pairing with three different devices, and it can switch between this devices via a keyboard command on the keyboard.

I would be inclined to allow it access to my Android phone, but only if I can also get to my Mac Mini. Thus the question: Is this keyboard multi-device capable? And, if so, how does one switch among devices?
