I bought this cool keyboard and mouse from Kensington, called the SlimBlade desktop, and it is really good. I got it in BestBuy for $95.00 last summer. The keyboard works very well and is slim and responsive. My only issue with the keyboard is the absence of any indicator if you accidentally hit the caps lock button. It works perfect with my iMac too.
The mouse is very nice and too, but I did have a problem and ended up doing something stupid when I thought that there was a problem with the track ball. It has a cool trackball instead of a wheel. The trackball stopped moving on the screen when I rolled it. I could see no way to access the ball, and was really getting frustrated and since I like it so much otherwise, I went and bought another mouse on eBay for $35 a few days ago. I mentioned the problem to some guy at work and he asked if I tried blowing out the trackball with compressed air, and I did not think of that. I went home and tried it and it is working like a charm now! Now I have this mouse coming that I dont really need, and I spent money. Oh well.
