HEY PEEPS! This is my first post ever!
I just got a new Blackbook and wanted some recommendations for mice and keyboards.

I hope you guys can help me !

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse, And Bluetooth Apple keyboard! Or you could get a wired keyboard and a BT Mighty mouse. Personally I'm going for BT MM and BT keyboard because i have become so used to not having wires that if i brought a wired keyboard or mouse it would most likely drive me crazy! =]

I think this mouse would look great side by side with your black MacBook,

Any other suggestions? I'm thinking of the bluetooth mouse and keyboard set from Apple, but I just wanted to know if there are any alternatives to these - I'd prefer bluetooth anyway so that I could clear up my USB slots for other devices.

a) Welcome to MacNN
b) The Apple Keyboard and Mouse (bluetooth) is probably the best bet if you want them to look good, I have a bluetooth MX1000 mouse, and it rocks... Unfortunatley there is no Logitech drivers that work with bluetooth mice over OS X

You can always check out the new Logitech Mac keyboard

Me likey.

I'm currently debating between, for mice that is, the Logitech V270 and the Apple Mighty Mouse...

I have read some reviews about them in the Apple Store... so... I have a slight idea about them.

They both seem to have their pros and cons, equally matched.

Anyone wanna give me some ideas?

Edit: CRAP, I keep reviving these dead threads.. sorry please ignore.






are you from the windows world? the the mighty mouse may not be for you...

the mighty mouse functions differently than a regular two button mouse. with the touch sensitive things, it's almost as if you have to lift up with both fingers, and press down on the click you want... so you cannot have both fingers resting on the moues while trying to do a right click..

I tried, but couldn't get used to the mighty mouse..


so I am very happily sporting a Bluetooth apple keyboard, and origional bluetooth mouse.

Same here. Although the scrollball on the mighty mouse is nice, the touch sensitive mechanism is a little annoying b/c you have to lift your left finger so you can right click. Also, you have to squeeze too hard in order to click the side buttons; it takes too much pressure to be practical.

I love the Logitech Revolution, but alas, it doesn't come in a BT version! What's the deal? There seems to be a glaring dearth of BT mice out there.
