Mac keyboard mouse wanted
Does anyone have a Mac usb keyboard and mouse that they no longer want and want give away? A hockey-puck mouse is fine. Can collect within reasonable distance. I do know that a Wintel keyboard and mouse will work, but the real thing will suit better.

Keyboard Mouse
Hi Guys, After purchasing 2 Apple wireless keyboards and mice, I have to say I have finally given up on their wireless gear. I haven't even gotten a full year out of a device that doesn't stop working randomly or cease to pair after a battery replacement. So I'm after a wired keyboard and mouse. Just after a standard white pro mouse as I don;t like the Mighty Mice. Standard keyboard too (not that it;s changed lately!!) I'm up for $129 new, suffering a Mighty Mouse, so if anyone has any spares/old ones laying around, I'd love to hear about them! Cheers ~Chris

I too don't like the mighty mouse so the first thing I do when I change Macs is plug in a 2 button PC mouse, Logitech, Microsoft intellipoint, they are all pretty good. Pick em up for $20 at Office Works. Gotta have a right mouse button and scroll wheel. Stay with the Apple keyboard though. Rob
Fwd: Keyboard/Mouse Lockout
Begin forwarded message: From: Dark Servant [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu Nov 13, 2003 8:23:02 PM Australia/Perth To: Severin Crisp [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Keyboard/Mouse Lockout Ok. The problem has been isolated to a faulty mouse cable. I really love my Apple mouse but I probably wouldn't buy one new cause they cost too much. Is there anyone who has a spare mouse cable for a G4-400 mouse, possibly from a dead mouse. Is it possible to buy replacement cables for mice? I should have tried to win that mouse at the last WAMUG but I was quite happy with my current mouse and I didn't know about the problems I was about to face. Thanks Ruben A. Franke Fortunately no. My workstation setup requires an extension USB cable to the keyboard cable and that's where the trouble was. Lucky!!! Severin Did you have to buy a new keyboard to fix the problem? I hope not. Ruben A. Franke I had the same problem, it was a faulty connector on the keyboard cable! Severin Crisp I have recently discovered that a friend using a PC is also experiencing this same problem. This person also knows of someone else experiencing the same problem using a PC. So far I have not been able to figure out a way of dealing with this problem Ruben A. Franke I have recently been experiencing what I thought to be freezes. However I noticed that programs continued to function normally and discovered that unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in fixes the problem. This fix only works temporarily and the problem occurs again after some time. Problem occurs in various programs and in Finder. I recently went through disc first aid and repaired permissions although I'm not too sure if this is relevant. Running 10.2.8 on G4-400 Thanks Ruben A.

Re: Keyboard/Mouse Lockout - LCD monitor?
Hello all. I was wondering if there was a LCD monitor involved in this set-up at all? I have seen a few G4's with LCD monitors connected, that appear to freeze when the USB keyboard is plugged directly into the LCD monitor, rather than into the USB port on the back of the G4 tower. Just an idea, incase this is the situation here. Cheers, Derek.

I recently went through disc first aid and repaired permissions although I'm not too sure if this is relevant. I've seen a similar thing on a MAcOS 9.2 machine - thought the issue was withthe mouse, it was otherwise the same. Replacing the mouse and keyboard did not help, unfortunately. I was very reluctant to erase and rebuild the machine (the next step after everything else I'd tried, ie PRAM zap, prefs nuking, etc), as it would take me quite some time - think Quark, Photoshop, etc etc on a DTP workstation. I eventually swapped the hard drive into another machine to see if it was a hardware fault. The result was indeterminate - the problem never resurfaced on the original hardware _or_ the replacement with the original hard drive. I'd love to know what caused it, but at least it's gone away. I'm not sure this is really useful to you, but I thought I'd let you know that I, too, have seen intermittent USB problems with basic devices on Apple hardware. Perhaps you might want to drop in a PCI USB card to see if that helps (assuming Macs support them properly - anybody know?). Craig Ringer

Bluetooth keyboard/mouse
Just typing this email from the middle of the room from my new MS Bluetooth keyboard - yes no wires, no infared. The setup took 2 mins to unpack thje keyboard and mouse and insert batteries and then about 5 secs for the Bluetooth assistant to find both the keyboard and mouse and pair to them. OK so who wants one or is it two you get a multi-button optical mouse in the deal. You also get a book for Windows XP users on how to get the thing to work . it's a shame Mac users don't get a book because you don't need one. The silly thing is this keyboard was made expressly for Win XP users but the setup on a Mac really is just as a simple as described. The very hardest thing was opening the battery door on the mouse. . and you get a Microsoft USB Bluetooth adapter which I haven't tried because the Zytech one works just fine, is about half (or more like one third) the size and has a 40 metre range ... I'll need a larger screen from back here.

Re: Bluetooth keyboard/mouse
We're trying to get bulk pricing rates but at this point in time it looks like around $350 but that does include a shiny box, keyboard, Bluetooth adapter, 4 x AA batteries, another dingly-dangly that I didn't bother with and mouse. I think the mouse by itself is going to retail at $150 so it's so...so value. Having played with it for a while now, at this stage IntelliType Pro 3.1 doesn't see the Bluetooth keyboard so you can't go in and modify the keys like you can on other MS keyboards. So all the little silver buttons don't do anything yet but I'm sure this will be addressed in the next software release. MS haven't addressed this keyboard at the Mac market at all, it's positioned to be something really neat for the XP crowd who go through the process of installing Bluetooth, the dingle-dangles and setting everything up. It just so happens that both the keyboard and mouse are totally plug'n'play on a Mac. Yet another example of just how wonderful OS X is .. I've just off the phone to a friend who does presentations and he can't wait to get hold of at least the mouse. He couldn't believe that you didn't have to point it at a receiver or that it didn't matter if people got in the way of you and your presentation. For me, it's just nice to be completely free of cables. If I want some space I can just pick up my keyboard and park it anywhere I want. The downside is that you'll always need a couple of AA batteries close by just in case your run flat. I've included the MS info sites (with pics) - the keyboard and mouse are actually dark metallic blue - much bluer in real life than is depicted on the MS website - http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/keyboard/wodbt_info.asp http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouse/wiebt_info.asp On Thursday, April 17, 2003, at 05:28 PM, Susan Hastings wrote: but Keith, how much do they cost Just typing this email from the middle of the room from my new MS Bluetooth keyboard - yes no wires, no infared.
