As if my memory upgrade today wasn't enough....
I received my Clique keyboard and trackpad tray from Henge Docks today. Here are some pictures for those who may be interested.
The box it comes looks nice.
Crack it open and you will find the tray inside all wrapped up in soft plastic.
The tray itself is pretty simple in concept. This is the right hand model where the trackpad will sit on the right. There are some simple graphical instructions printed on the inside of the box.
The keyboard and trackpad fit very snugly inside the tray. It's snug enough to hold everything together but not so tight that you couldn't pop everything out.
I like the way this setup looks. The white plastic is like a nod to the past and it reminds me of my old G5 PPC. It also provides a nice contrast and match to the aluminum finish and white keys of the keyboard. The system feels very solid!
Like many people here, I too would have loved to see Apple offer an integrated solution and I would have paid for it. Perhaps they thought that such a combination would be too much for people to accept right away. We needed time to warm up to the trackpad. Maybe that will come this summer when the new iMac may be unveiled along with Mountain Lion. Even if a new keyboard is unveiled that matches this configuration I will still be happy to use this setup.
