Apple Keyboard and Apple Mouse

What's different about the mouse?

well i like the keyboard. putting the USB ports in the back instead of the sides will make things look a lot nicer, and plugs should be easier to work with on a desk. i also like that the keyboard actually sits on a slant - the bar on the old ones did nothing to actually keep the keyboard tilted, and i had to put the case from a zip disk underneath.

as far as the mouse goes, though, i can't see anything different. what is special about this mouse? am i just missing something?

::edited for spelling because i apparently have a hard time typing::

it looks like you cant adjust the laser. before there was a wheel around it.

It looks like it is just as was expected. I'll look forward to seeing one of these in person...

as i understand things, the wheel was not for the laser, but rather for the button. changing the settings changed how hard you had to push to get the "clicking" action.

Hate to pitchabitch about Apple, but what's up with this lame-o one button mouse? Looks pretty, goes directly in drawer to get replaced by my Logitech 2 button with the mighty mighty scrollwheel.

So the revision is White instead of black?

yawn

They were white before. Apple has offered black and white versions for both the mouse and keyboard since the G4 iMacs were released.

The physical design of the keyboard is what's changed.

Okay, that keyboard doesn't look adjustable... big downer for all of us who like typing on a flat keyboard (better for your hands and wrists!)

for what it's worth, Apple.com isn't selling it.

where did these pictures come from?

Oooh! I love the new mouse! I can't wait to get one!


(The wheel around the laser is to adjust click-sensitivity of the mouse body. In the three different positions, the mouse must either be pressed more firmly or lighter to do a "click" - it's so subtle though)
