There is no longer a listing for the BT keyboard and mouse (BTCOMBO) they announced last October. It is also gone from the PC Mall site where it was listed as well.

I was excited about this product. A good looking slim keyboard and mouse for the Mac that was also BT.
Here is the direct link that was the keyboard http://macally.com/spec/bluetooth/btkey.html

macally has also been promising a full size bluetooth mouse forever and a day. Was supposed to be ready last August.

The only reason I've been holding out for macally bluetooth, is because their software is so good. A mouse is of little use if the software stinks. Meanwhile, I'm carrying my macally q-ball around, which is a real hassle.

I've been looking forward to getting that keyboard... I doubt that they've cancelled it though. Probably just delayed. I'll probably get their iceKey instead, in the meantime.

Macally seems to be highly underrated. They make the best drivers of the big two peripheral makers (Logitech and Kensington), and their products are solid and well designed, and not "over designed" like the other two tend to be.

Hopefully that keyboard will be out by the time I upgrade my hardware in a couple of months.

macally ikeyslim & kensington slimtype seem best options so far...
