Dont like the silver keyboard and white mouse?

[docprego]

just in case you dont know cause you're new to macs...you can customize the mighty mouse so it does have a right click....

Thank you but that wasn't my issue at all. I use the right click regularly. It is just that it works in an unusual fashion. Because the Mighty Mouse only has 1 button but can register left and right clicks, Apple designed it to sense which finger was depressing the button.

Here is their design page describing this:

The new keyboard is good for those that don't use Pro Apps and keycaps for shortcuts.

It's okay to type on, any proven keyboard would be, but you can take the keys out and replace them with App keycaps and the such. I hope the third party vendors come out with good fixes for that.

For those of you who are looking for an alternative to the mighty mouse check out this site... The "coffin" mouse comes in a variety of colors (chrome/black/metallic/bronze) & even has customized engraving/logo options.

Though, IMO people say things are ugly far to often on this board, I have to say I think that mouse is very UGLY.

My engraving would be "Rest in Peace". If they had a bigger mouse with a compartment, you can place a dead wireless Mighty Mouse that people hate inside it.

I like the mighty mouse except for when gaming. That is when I use the mouse from that Xbox 360 Microsomething company. A silver Mighty mouse that is bigger for bigger hands would be nice.

it's not my taste either, but I thought the suggestion (rather than negative complaint/commentary) would be welcome. i agree that a silver version of the mighty mouse would be nice, but in the meantime @ least this "matches" & is simple in design.

At first I wasn't crazy about the keyboard either, but i actually love it now.

I hated the white keyboards. I never used the one that came with my G5 PowerMac. I went to Fry's and bought another black one before they stopped selling it.

I love the new keyboard! I can't count the times I looked down at the other keyboards and saw an eyelash or something trapped inside. I would always blow it out or just blow it around to a spot where I couldn't see it. I was going to buy the new keyboard to go with my G5, but after seeing the iMac in person, I decided to just buy it instead. I love both. In my opinion, this is the best keyboard they have made.

I actually like how the White Mighty Mouse looks... here's why.

First, the keys on the new keyboard are white, which matches the mouse.
Second, the scroll wheel on the mouse is grey, similar to the brush metal on the keyboard.
Third, the iPhone dock that I have plugged into the other USB port on the keyboard is also white like the Mighty Mouse.

Looks good in my opinion.

The each their own... except the Coffin Mouse... That's just... Weird

It looks great IMO...how it works is a different question.


Although I'm digging the scroll bar for iTunes cover art, and with 10.5 that will be even more useful in Finder.

(Guess its time to buy a BT MM...since I stopped using my Wired one before coverart came out for iTunes)

LOL, I did the exact same thing! Got 1 or 2 black ones on ebay before they stopped making them. I hate that white keyboard for some reason.

The new keyboard looks pretty good though... hopefully I'll be ordering a new iMac soon.

I've always hated the Mighty Mouse. I ordered one the same day they were available on the Apple Store and returned it a week later. I use a Logitech MX 1000 Laser Mouse--really nice!

The new keyboard is FANTASTIC. There is nothing bad I can say about it. I love it so much I wish I had a windows version that I can use on my Windows PC at work. My wife pounds on the our keyboards and I can usually hear her typing upstairs in our split entry house. The new keyboard is much quieter. She no longer bothers me when I'm trying to watch tv and she is on the Mac.

What other keyboard can say they 'help marriages?'

Please don't suggest the wireless Mighty mouse.

How's about a wireless Might Mouse?

Hey try plugging it in... some of the keys aren't labeled the same, of course, but I remember plugging in a black Mac keyboard once and being surprised that it was recognized just fine on XP.

I know it would work, but I'm a Technical Documentation Writer and I need to see all of my Insert, Home, End, Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Pause Break etc. button labels. Microsoft ties too many shortcuts to those keys and it would make my job harder to have to drill down through the menus.

I run XP in Bootcamp right now and I drive myself crazy trying to remember what F keys do what. I don't want to have to refer to a printed list either.
