Anyone know of a good wireless keyboard/mouse that will work on a G4? I only need it to be able stretch 15-20 feet max (and yes, I know I can just buy an extension cord).

Or, even better, a way to adapt an existing keyboard/mouse to work as wireless -- maybe something like a wireless usb hub that you plug something like a transmitter in to the usb port on the cpu and plug perhiperals into the wireless usb hub that transmits signals back to the cpu. I haven't heard of anything like this, and doubt it exists, but a guy can dream, can't he? ;-)

Thanks in advance...

I really wish that Logirech would make drivers for their combo. I really like the feel of their wireless keyboard. Maybe we should start a petition?

Macally makes a wireless USB keyboard with some sort of pointing device integrated. I think that Kensington makes a wireless mouse. I'm not sure on that one.

Here's the Macally product: http://www.macally.com/spec/usb/inpu...e/iwebkey.html

USB to IR, has a 'built-in wireless pointing device' which appears to resemble an IBM ThinkPad laptop nipple.

Anyone actually use this? Does it work under OS X?
