I have recently purchased a MacBook and now have it doubling up as a desktop, as it is connected up to my 24 inch LCD via the mini DVI to DVI cable. I am very satisfied with it.

So now I would like to buy a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, to make it a complete desktop setup. However I am wondering if there is a decent alternative to the official apple keyboard and mighty mouse. The reason I am not too keen on the wireless apple keyboard (http://www.apple.com/keyboard/) is because it is quite narrow and I would have to sit with my knees together to use it on my lap!

The reason I dont like the wireless mighty mouse (http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/) is because of the scroll ball. I use a mighty mouse in my office and the roller ball keeps breaking and it is so unreliable!

But one thing I do like about the mighty mouse are the two squeeze buttons on the side.

So my question is, are there any good alternative bluetooth keyboards that are fully compatible with mac and are there any good alternative bluetooth mice that have reliable scrollballs and the two side squeeze buttons that are fully compatible with mac?

Many thanks in advance
