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:

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.

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.
