Someone recently was nice & bought me an apple keyboard http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Aluminum-Wired-Keyboard-MB110LL/dp/B000V07N9U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1284759905&sr=8-1

and this mouse; http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Aluminum-Wired-Keyboard-MB110LL/dp/B000V07N9U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1284759905&sr=8-1

will they work with my macbook pro 2010 i7 at a desktop? I notice the keyboard & mouse are a little older, does this matter? is there any configurations I will have to make on my mackbook pro settings?

I will also probably have windows 7 pro on the macbook pro as well, will the keyboard & mouse work with windows?

I notice there is no scroll wheel on the pro mouse, how does one scroll through pages with it? how do I right & left click? how do I clean it?

Both those links go to the keyboard, but they'll still work. Use the up/down arrows or the trackpad to scroll.

oops, here is the mouse I got; http://longwood.refreshelectronics.com/ProductInfo.aspx?id=5763497

so one cannot scroll with the mouse?

will the mouse & keyboard work with windows?

You would have to get a mouse with a scroll wheel. It does not have to be apple branded. Any mouse will work with both OS X and Windows. The keyboard will also work with windows and OS X. However, if you can, I would recommend getting the mighty mouse or magic mouse.

I bought a cheap mouse from office depot, will it work?
 
does the keyboard need to go directly into a usb port on the macbook pro? or can it go into a hub?

for using windows on a mac, does it matter which usb port on the keyboard that the mouse is plugged into? I read it works better on the left side.
