Hey,
I'm new to the world of Mac (not Apple, I'm a full-fledged iPod fanatic) and intend on buying a Mac Mini early to mid next year.
Now currently I'm 15 and don't have masses of money, hence the Mac Mini and not the iMac, and i can't really afford to buy the nice Apple Keyboard and Mighty Mouse. But i have a perfectly good keyboard and mouse (which i am using now), however, it is a PC keyboard and mouse set, its wireless, it has all the keys like shift, CTRL, ALT and the windows key and finally it has one of those PS/2 connections on it, so I'm a little worried if it will work on Mac.
I have found a PS/2 to USB converter on a website that i can buy from for a very cheap price, and it is apparently compatible with Mac OSX 8.0 and above. So I'm guessing it will work on Leopard. However, are these PC keyboards and mice going to work on Mac? They don't need any drivers or anything, so they should work straight off, but could someone put my mind and wallet at ease by shedding some light on keyboards and mice that work on Mac, but are used on PC's?
Thanks in advance!
