Have you seen the Logitech wireless solar keyboard for the Mac?

Looks pretty nice. Works with other Logitech devices that support their unified receiver tech AND it has a number pad (which I use a lot)!

Right now, I have the Logitech wave keyboard and mouse for the Mac. The mouse is perfectly fine and the wave keyboard functions perfectly with the supplied software.

But, for some reason, I can't type worth a damn on this "wavy" keyboard. The letters just seem like they are a few millimeters off to my hands. Somehow the wave features seems to bunch the keys and I can't type touch at all with it.

I might well invest in this newer Logitech keyboard.

Now, if Apple's BT keyboard had a number pad, I'd buy that....

We have the keyboard - it's fantastic. Never needs batteries. And works great.

Ditto, except when I have to type in all caps. Then it can't keep up with me. I had to type "KFC" a lot recently and it would skip the F almost every time, presumably because I typed faster than it could keep up, unlike my Matias Tactile Pro. But I deem that Matias too loud for the office, although the new USB/Bluetooth models are tempting to use with my MBP & iPhone in the office...

Nice, but I wish it had a backlit keyboard and a built-in trackpad.

I was thinking about the K900, but that doesn't have a trackpad either.

Basically, I'm looking for a wireless keyboard for when I'm using my 60" tv as a monitor. It works beautifuly, but I need a keyboard and mouse to control the computer functions when I'm watching in bed. dunno smiley

BTW, I couldn't believe how sharp the screen quality was the first time I connected my tv as the monitor! Wow!

24 inch, 30 inch, now seem so puny compared with a massive 60 inches!

I never expected it to work so well.

Excuse me while I gloat!

I have the K750 after silvarios talked it up.
Quite happy with it, much more then the previous iceKey; and mum likes the iceKey that she ended up with.
The K750 has short throw keys like a laptop and comfortable full size spacing.
I hunt and peck, but rather fast.
