Apple Keyboard vs. Logitech dinovo mac. help?

[stefmesman]

hello mac people!

so im updating my workspace. and i want it to be completely cable clutter free. i currently own a apple wired QWERTY with num pad. i do want to keep my num pad. but i want it to be cable free. so i looked into alternatives. and guess what. not many to find.

one i did find was the logitech dinovo mac from 2008 (not the edge). does anyone have experience with this keyboard? do you personally think it types/performs better then the apple keyboard? is it more comfortable? i dont mind spending some bucks.

does any one know any other wireless keyboards for mac with num pad?

Logitech Dinovo mac edition:

thanks for your help.

I have a logitech wave set I got off the clearance shelf for $35 (50% off) and I switch it between my win7 and OSX machines as needed...I'm happy with it and it wasn't a lot of $$.

I don't really know if there's any apple functions it won't do but the box does say its OSX compatible (its using 2.4Ghz wireless vs. BT though if that matters to you)...

I had the dinovo edge. It is very nice but a little bulky. The numpad is great. In the end though I decided to get the apple wireless and keep a wired around for when I need to use the numpad. If desk space is not an issue the dinovo will be good. If you want to be minimalist go with the apple wireless.

I kind of had that dilemma myself, but I ended up going with the apple wired with num pad. It is my favorite keyboard I have ever used, and I do a good bit of work in excel, so the num pad comes in handy there too. I would like the wireless capability, but I really don't mind it being wired.

thanks for the advice the thing is. they dont sell the logitech dinovo edge in my state. i do not mind bulky ive got room. i was talking about the regular logitech dinovo mac edition.


edit: just found out that the dinovo edge doesnt have num pad either.

I have been eyeing this keyboard from OWC. The Matias Tactile Pro Keyboard 3.0
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Matias/FK302/

It's not cheap but looks well built.

thanks for the advice. but the page gives me a ''cable length'' on the keyboard. does this mean its wired? im looking for a wireless one.
