^ that's strange that they wouldn't include one with the iMacs.

I've never had an iMac but I've always ordered external apple keyboards for my laptops and they've always come with an extension.

This latest thin laptop style keyboard is my favorite, feels effortless to use.

I haven't had much time with the new keyboards, but I do like the last gen ones, the only problem I've found with them is that they collect dirt way too easily and noticeably.

Durero · 07-24-2008, 01:36 AM

Yeah I know what you mean

Fortunately the new one is the opposite - the surface is flat so there's no tray-like edges to collect the dirt and keep it stuck there, and there are decent sized gaps between the keys which also keeps dirt to a minimum and is much easier to clean than the previous designs.

[action=Zepp88] has his fingers crossed for a substantial price drop on the Mac Pro. [/action]

do you have any issues with the mouse acceleration on a mac? I've basically been forced to use my trackpad on the macbook because the acceleration via a mouse is atrocious.

Wondered if this is why some of the people above hate the mighty mouse so much, could be the acceration and not the actual mouse.

Congrats on the new iMac

The acceleration is adjustable in system preferences.
