Non Apple Keyboards.. what are you using?

I've got a small IR wireless keyboard from some off-brand company. It's great for when I need to keep my desk clear, easy to throw in a drawer or whatnot.

As soon as Matias gets Tactile Pro 2.0's back in stock I'll be getting one of those to replace at least one of my three old Apple Pro keyboards (the ones with the F keys in groups of 4).
 
Matias Tactile Pro 2.0

My Matias Tactile Pro 2.0 keyboards just arrived today -- ordered them in June or July (can't remember). I really enjoy them already! They are loud (quite loud, in fact!), but they feel absolutely wonderful to type on.

I'll give them two thumbs up! I say "them" because I bought two of them. I have three 30-inch screens on my Mac Pro, so it helps to be able to have two places available at my desk to sit and work.

Yep, I love my setup.

The Apple Bluetooth keyboard is awesome (I don't have the new thin ones, and won't until Apple puts the number pad back). And once you use the MX Revo, you won't want to use anything else.

The whole logitech thing did suck. I can't believe stuff would be sent in the clear like that, I hate to know what sort of information someone could have possibly gathered for the year I was using my S530. But Bluetooth is encrypted, and if someone wants to capture my mouse movements, then I say let them. But I think the Revo uses it's own special communication protocols since it's 2 way (due to the awesomeness of the autoswitching scroll wheel)

yg17,what mouse/mice software are you using with that mx revolution? i had purchased one when they first came out last year and had serious problems with smoothness of mouse movement using the logitech software at the time; i also tried steermouse and usb overdrive and neither were great. i ended up going to an ms mouse, not near as nice in features as the mx revo, but was very smooth and ms' software was surprisingly stable and usable.

anyway, any info about that app or apps that you use for your mx revo would be great.
 
keyboard with trackpad built in?

Can anyone suggest a wireless keyboard with a trackpad/touchpad built in?

I too have gone to the darkside for my keyboard and mouse. They are nice, aren't inexpensive for what you get, and Microsoft was must faster than Apple to integrate they keyboard with iTunes. I have a Microsoft keyboard and mouse hooked up to my PB and I don't know if I would ever buy an Apple keyboard.

Seen a lot of use, and still going strong. I have another one packed away that I fully intend to hand down to my grandkids.
