Need recommendations for a Mac - GoFuckYourself.com

I need an ergonomic keyboard for a Mac, USB. I have no idea what I'm looking for. A keyboard/mouse pack would be ideal but I will settle for a keyboard.

I know there are plenty Mac nuts here to assist me.

you don't like the new apple keyboard?

Microsoft has the nicest ergo-keyboards.

I love the new Apple ones. But they're not the ergo setup I think you're looking for.

Microsoft has some really nice ones but I cannot tell which ones will work on Mac.

This is the one I am looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16823109143

It doesn't look like it comes with a mouse... so any suggestions in that department would be welcome as well.

By the way, I would also prefer something wired. I see no reason to go wireless for this.

DirtyDanza · 12-13-2007, 01:16 PM

fyi you can use anything usb no prob... what os are you on leopard or tiger? either or it will work with it... no matter....

ANOTHER GOOD THING ABOUT MAC

macbook pro 2.4 gig here and I can plug anything I did into my windows machines into this and it works first time no prob....

candyflip · 12-13-2007, 01:19 PM

Sly, they'll all work so long as they're USB plugs. No worries.

If you're getting a mouse, the Apple MightyMouse is still the best bet. It comes with all the new Desktops and iMacs.

Chris · 12-13-2007, 01:32 PM

i love the mighty mouse
took a bit to get used to it

True you can use anyone but on a keyboard made for a PC but which key is the apple key? Take a look at this one - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16823126035

DateDoc · 12-13-2007, 01:40 PM

but which is the apple key not able key.......

Sly · 12-13-2007, 01:45 PM

By the way, this is for a laptop.

G-Rotica · 12-13-2007, 01:51 PM

My recommendation, don't buy one.

PC's rock

Mac has a detection program that you use when you plug in any non mac keyboard so no worries on alt language boards or PC ones. I believe you can configure the windows key to be the apple key also easy enough.
