Try using your iMac in target display mode with one of your mini's and see if you like that.
You're short on space and want to keep the 27" iMac around anyway...I have the logitech K760 keyboard that I share between my MBP and Mini. It can remain paired with three computers which is sometimes handier than remoting into another machine...
Just got my K811 tonight. It's pretty nice, but I have to get used to using an American layout again! I've been on Japanese keyboards for years; the larger return key is useful.
One question: I can't seem to use Command F2 to change to target display mode; I'm testing it with the iMac and the mini It works fine on my Apple keyboard. Does yours work?

Do you really need that firstborn?
Yup.

Ouch. Just checked the Logitech discussion... They say the K811 cannot toggle TDM... no non-Apple keyboard can.
I can always leave my Apple keyboard off to the side and use it just for this, but...
The idea is right but the execution could be far better.
To get this right, the keyboard and trackpad need to be able to be easily switched between computers.
