bluetooth keyboard for my mac
shmokes:
I use this mouse for my media center PC and I've been really happy with it. It's very comfortable to use one-handed, and while it's not an ideal keyboard to type with, it is handy to have a full keyboard at my fingertips for light-duty stuff while I'm mousing about. Actually, that's not the exact mouse I use. I use its predecessor, which has an actual trackball in place of the little thumb-sized trackpad, and mine isn't backlit. Both of these features would make a tremendous improvement to my mouse, though. The keys on mine are super difficult to see in a dim room. And since it has a mechanical trackball, just bumping the remote triggers the on-screen display when I'm watching a movie or something (because the remote registers mouse movement, however slight). With that said, if price is more important the one I have can still be had and much less expensively.

Yeah, I didn't even think of Mac because I assumed they would be pricey. But the price isn't bad at all. A bit more in Australia ($75) but not bad. Just have to get a mouse from somewhere else, the keyboard price is a pleasant surprise, but the mouses (mice, meece) aren't quite as surprising ;D

That's cause its almost like using a multi touch touchscreen device. There are a ton of gestures you can do without actually clicking the mouse. Its hard to go back to a normal mouse.

Just an update. I bought the mac bluetooth keyboard which has worked beautifully. The batteries have only just this day become completely flat. When it gets down to (crap, forgotten already) 15% or so, it will warn you every now and then. Even when it got down to 0% it worked for a few hours.

I have a Mac which I use daily but has to fight with my four other PC monitors when I have to access it. But when I need to look at what is going on it is a real PITA to sort out the HDMI connectors in my cable hell so I splurged for Splashtop HD.
It just works perfectly. I can control my Mac anywhere in the house with full sound, and if I subscribe I can control it from anywhere in the connected world. It works with Android or IOS and if you have a Tegra 3 you can play games directly on the tablet like WOW. Also I have Synergy working on the PC so I can use my keyboard and mouse to work on the Mac. My Belkin Bluetooth keyboard and mouse works a treat too when I want to control the Mac via Splashtop HD.
The same goes for all my Linux boxes and PCs. Soon my monitors will evolve into projectors as I like cinema computing. ;D
I just got IDisplay as I have got like 5 Android tablets in various sizes. Well you can have 5 (or more) virtual displays for the PC or Mac which means if you are in the living room watching a movie on your mac and you want to know what is going on at BYOAC you can create a virtual instance on your tablet. Why would you? Good point. I use this when I need my four screens on the road. Splashtop HD is £4.99 50% off at the moment and IDisplay is £2.99.
The only gripe I have with the Belkin Bluetooth keyboard is goes to sleep too quickly, the mouse doesn't but you find yourself typing in the ether if you are not looking. :lol

I have to say this lil Mac keyboard is great like that. I can't tell that it's gone to sleep (if it even has), but the batteries lasted all this time so whatever they are doing, it works fine (",)
