Been using them w/my new system since Jan. I flat-out love the Apple mouse. My biggest peeve was that the cable would get in the way of clicking from time to time on the USB version. The wireless mouse takes care of that. I’ve had them in average use 2-4 hours a day for 3 months and have yet to change the batteries.

The keyboard has been rock solid tho.

humm.... I am not ENTIRELY happy with my wireless mighty mouse, actually.... it does not always recognize the “right button” as such but sometimes just goes for a “left button” command in spite of me wanting otherwise.... but apart from that, I couldn’t agree more… the keyboard is a dream come true indeed!

Not much of a fan of multi-button mice.

One thing of note, the batteries in my wireless mouse went dead before I could turn it off a few months back. When I put fresh batteries in, the responsiveness went down the toilet. I took the batteries out and used my USB mouse for a few weeks. I recently tried the wireless mouse again and it’s working just fine again.

I find that the battery life on the BT Keyboard is great! I hardly ever remember to turn it off when not in use and it just lasts forever

Im looking into getting a keyboard for my MBP when I am at my desk. Do you guys recommend the Apple blue tooth keyboard for this kind of use.

That is how I use mine and it works great! It has a very good feel for typing and works well.  Another accessory I would reccommend to go with it is http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/elevator/

still working with the “old school” USB keyboard… but nothing beats the hardware apple included… especially when it comes to hours of pain- free working nothing beats the apple keyboard- it’s a safe recommendation!

That looks like a very useful item but I already have a 32 inch Sharp LCD that I plug into via DVI cable which allows me to view my Mac Book Pro on that. On another matter my friend has a Logitech G15 keyboard and I used it once and it is awesome. I wish that the software for it was compatible with Macs.
