Hi, I am just looking for some Mouse & Keyboard to replace the Alum Macbook's Keyboard and its trackpad when at home. I have searched quite a bit of Mice but I didn't really get to know variety of Keyboard.

Mice
Logitech v270
Logitech vx Nano

Apple Mighty mouse wireless

Keyboard
Apple Alum wireless keyboard...

These are the ones I know so far...
Price difference between Mighty Mouse and VX Nano isn't that big and cause of that fact I can't make the decision.

Please, help me to find the right mouse/keyboard for me !!!

p.s. You can always recommend something else;)
 
if you arent in NEED of a num pad..then the wireless keyboard by apple is a beauty. i love it.

as for the mouse...there are many people here who will tell you not the get the mighty mouse.
i have no problem with mine...but do understand the reasoning behind everyone not wanting one.
the contour from the mouse to your hand is difficult for some to get used to.
there are plenty of reports of might mice just not working.

Thank you so much for the reply, I will be looking in to Apple wireless keyboard ;) I think I am thinking either VX nano or mighty mouse....
 
Get the updated MX1000, an MX Revolution. Most advanced mouse ever, it's downright incredible. About $30 new on eBay.

Keyboard is simple also - wireless apple. :)
 
I'd definitely go for the Apple Wireless Keyboard. It really is very compact, comfortable to type on, and the battery lasts ages. It also does look very nice. However, EVADE THE MIGHTY MOUSE. It is genuinely the worst mouse I have *ever* owned. It is comfortable but they thing is just ghastly to use! I'd actually recommend a Razer mouse. I'm using a Copperhead one at the moment as well as the dreaded Mighty Mouse and it's great. :)
 
I don't know about the mighty mouse but I have had a Logitech mouse for quite some time and it has always served me well and still works fine.
 
I'm 50/50 when it comes to the mighty mouse, the roller ball isnt the best but it does look very good.
 
:( dang... I should of read the replies you guys posted before I have purchased VX Nano :(:( oh well... Hopefully this will last for long time.... Thank you all for the good tips here. And for the keyboard I am going to save up for the Wireless keyboard by Apple ;)

p.s. is Revolution really that great compared to VX nano??? I wonder if I should exchange it or not...
 
MX Revolution, VX Revolution, or both.

Both a great; VX is more portable and you can store the receiver in the mouse; MX is just the best money can buy.
 
I guess I am keeping VX Nano for now... Hopefully I will fall in love with it... Since my hands are pretty small size... vx nano will be helpful..,?:confused:
 
Unfortunately you should have read the replies. The VX is alright for a laptop, but for a desktop, nasty. Far too small, even for my wife's small hands for continual use.

The MX is much more ergonomically designed for your hands, and has much more features.

See if a return is plausible.
 
VX Revolution and DiNovo, you can read my reviews of both on here.
Reviews?? Where o_O?

Ummm I am pretty sure they will take the return since I haven't open the package... It is mostly for the Alum Macbook so portability would be somthing to consider but when I take the macbook to classes I will be mostly using the trackpad...:confused:

Now what...? is MX revolution really that great compared to VX nano?

the mx revolution is their flagship mouse if i am not mistaken. its extra-ordinary.

you can check it out at their website...
so you can have a better understanding.
 
The Mighty Mouse is nice, works well for me and is easy to connect, trust me some of these other mice are a pain or require a special usb adapter (don't need that taking up an USB port)

ummm I have a VX nano on my desk right now still sealed...lol I don't know what to do...
 
I bought a refurbished MX Revolution on Amazon for $30 and could not be happier.
 
No no no, get a VX Revolution! Best. Mouse. Ever!

Man it must be that good... but isn't it over $100 :C well VX nano cost me 70s... is vx or mx revolution that much better? ?????:confused:

p.s. MX revolution is 129.99
VX revolution is 88.99
VX nano 79.99 ... don't know what to do...
