Wireless keyboard and mouse

I love the minimalist approach of Apple's wireless K&M. The only downside is that they are a nightmare to clean. And they aren't backlit - yet. I haven't used Micro$haft'$ wireless laser 8000 but this is the only one I know that is backlit and wireless. However, I'm boycottying Micro$haft (and encouraging others to do the same) because Vista is the biggest load of bollocks ever released! I purchased it as I need to support my clients who run it. Pitty poor them.

Wait a while and I'm sure Apple will release a new wireless K&M. Or get a logitech wireless set for the mac.

Let us know which you go for.

 

The Logitech S350 set is not backlit, but is very functional, and can easily be found for around $50 USD.

 

hey,

I was recently in the market for a mouse and was considering a Wireless USB mouse but did some more research and found the LOGITECH V270 BT mouse.

This mouse is great, easy to install, easy to use, its not to big nor is it too small. It has a bit of weight on it but it feels great to use and best of all no dongle hanging out the side of my MAC .

I paid $59 AUD so you should be able to find it cheaper in the US.

I deffinately recomend this mouse.

 

Sorry... silly me. What a mistake'a to make'a

 

Does the Logitech S530 work in clamshell mode?

I've not got mine to work like that without using insomniaX, it seems that when I close the lid the macbook goes to sleep, powering down the USB dongle hence you can't click the mouse to way it up again. Am I just trying to switch to clamshell mode the 'wrong way'?

 

I've heard that what you're supposed to do is hit the power button to turn on your computer and than immediately close the laptop and the computer should automatically boot up on the external monitor you have plugged in.
