Mighty Mouse and Keyboard

Probably a spare USB slot. http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/logitechs-mx-revolution-goes-bluetooth-at-the-fcc/

Yes, it is very comfortable. It's a lot lighter than the MX1000. When I go back to it, it feels like a brick. The MX Revo is that light you can control it with two fingers, without any strain on your wrist.

Nice, I'm picking one up from Circut city tomorrow for $69. Logitech Bluetooth sucks because it's propriatary you need their dongle, so it still takes up USB slot - not that I need anymore. It's also slow and laggy.

I can't wait to try it out, hopefully it will feel better then the mighty mouse! Does it hold a charge fairly long?
 
I couldn't get use the apple keyboard or mouse, the mouse is way too light for my and the keyboard is missing the keyboard feel ...

I've been using the logitech mx5000 combo on my pc for years, and I really like it... but i got sick of changing batteries(every month) and charging the mx1000 mouse all the time (every 3 days) + if i leave my cellphone too close, it will affect the connection...

decide to go with logitech again coz of their nice selection and grab myself a wired wave keyboard and the G5 gaming mouse
the keyboard feels great and works with mac
on the other hand, the mouse works fine on osx but some some keys dont work, steermouse fixed the problem
 
While we're on the subject of third-party mice -- at least my Logitech MX610 didn't come with any mouse button configuration software. If you want to customize all the buttons, I suggest you take a look at a piece of software called SteerMouse.

Just one tip -- the author suggests using the keypress simulation feature to work with Exposé and Dashboard etc. I instead suggest using the feature to pass through the click unmodified to the OS and then using the Exposé and Spaces prefpane to map mouse buttons to those features. That way you get the same effect that you can hold the button and release it and it'll exit that mode if you held it long enough.
 
Is there any other mouse with similiar scroll ball than mighty's?
Otherwise mighty is a bit clumsy, but I really like the scroll ball when scrolling timelines in FCP. I used to use Griffin's PowerMate, but it's faster when you need only mouse.

The scroll wheel on the Expert Mouse 7 is great.
 
The only thing that's bothering me about the keyboard is that it's slipping away from me as I type. Maybe because it's too light, or the rubber feet aren't good enough... Anyone else with this problem? Any solution?

I don't have this problem because my keyboard is on a cloth/mat. Plus I don't type all that hard to cause it to slip away.

I recently got a Mac Pro - I've been using it for like 2 weeks and it's great. I can't seem to get used to the Mighty Mouse and Keyboard though. My mousing hand (right) is killing me. My entire forearm is sore and I've actually started using my left hand for mousing. It feels stiff and fatigued. I have fairly normal sized hands. I'm 6'1 and not overweight. How does everyone else like the keyboard and mouse? I have a fairly shallow desk and a 30" ACD. Maybe I need more room, maybe I need a gel wrist rest?

The mighty mouse is dreadful(atleast the wireless one is). I am using the logitech bluetooth enabled mouse. It is cheaper and better than the mighty mouse.

Not true, There are a variety of bluetooth mouse configurations from logitech. The dongles are for machines that do not have bluetooth, if you have a bluetooth enabled machine, then you are not having the Logitech V270. The most laggy wireless mouse is the Mighty Mouse (bluetooth version).
 
I'll pimp the Microsoft Wireless Presenter Mouse 8000 -

Nice small BT mouse - but this one has buttons underneath for presentations - which isn't what I use it for - I use it for the laser pointer which comes in handy when you have pets (dog and cat) running into the home office every five minutes wanting to play...
 
My wireless Mighty Mouse is jumpy. I've gone back to my old wired mouse. Perhaps its a software issue or just the fact that its wireless? I did change mouse pads to a pure black and that helped slightly. Evidently the pattern on my old pad was causing it to go crazy...
 
my second mighty mouse is almost dead(scroll)... i like them tho, need a gel wrist rest :( Thinking of giving the new keyboard a go soon, white one's are okay(used for years) but i want something thinner.
