I've noticed there are a lot fewer Bluetooth peripherals on the market than there used to be; Logitech's website shows that they only sell one Bluetooth mouse currently, although their proprietary Unifying system is a modified verison of Bluetooth that requires their own transceiver. Most Bluetooth mice will work just fine (I use a Logitech v470 with my Macbook Pro) and I've also successfully used a Dell/Logitech Bluetooth keyboard with it as well. Because they also have an OS X utility for managing additional keys, etc., I'd suggest you find a Logitech keyboard. I have this Dell-branded (Manufactured by Logitech) keyboard, and it works with both my Windows DVR and Macs: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Wireless-Bluetooth-Multimedia-Keyboard-Y-RAQ-DEL2-GM952-No-Receiver-USED-/151517229358?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballshash=item234721712e It will also depend on what version of OS X you're running; both my iMac and Macbook Pro are currently on Mountain Lion, though I do have an old PowerMac G5 running Leopard that I could check for compatibility as well. -- [Greg Bennett] -Independent Carpenter, Electrician Lighting Designer -Purveyor of Classic Apple Macintosh Gear http://www.hsiprodsvcs.com/ http://www.macshack.us/ -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

RE: Bluetooth Keyboard
Most Generic Bluetooth keyboards will not wok work with OSX. I learned that the hard way after I bought one that wouldn't pair with my iMac.
