Apple Pro Keyboard and Mouse?

In May 2003 Apple introduced a revised consumer Keyboard and Mouse alongside the eMac revisions -- confirming previous rumors.



The new keyboard and mouse only offered minor revisions, and left only white Pro Keyboards and Mice remaining for the PowerMac line.



Pre-WWDC, reports indicated that Apple Pro Mouse stocks had diminished, with recent reports that both the Apple Pro Keyboard and Apple Pro Mouse are running low in stock at retailers with no way to reorder them.



Apple's specs still list "Apple Pro Keyboard" and "Apple Pro Mouse" as included accesssories with the new PowerMac G5's. The dramatic case redesign of the PowerMac had left many speculating that new accessories were on the way.

For $3000 bucks they better give me a keyboard that matches my new G5. I hope and think that they will. An aesthetics conscience company like Apple would not likely make a possible mistake in judgement like this.

new Keyboard and mouse would be great for the G5 line....set it apart from the rest of the hardware...
I also agree for 3000 they should match the new hardware...we will see

It seems wierd that they don't advertise a new mouse and keyboard coming with the G5...

Why hide something that will only increase sales?

The preview at WWDC had the new style keyboard/mouse that is shipping with the eMac. However, I heard that those G5's were hand assembled, and so they could have just used the keyboard/mouse that was available.

You can't expect Apple to ship a metallic-gray G5 tower with a white keyboard and white optical mouse! That's so un-Apple! Something's brewing @ Apple I bet.

The introduction of the "Apple Keyboard" and "Apple Mouse" with the eMac would imply that new Pro Keyboards and Mice are on the way with new PowerMacs, especially since the ones released with the new eMacs were so very similar to the existing Pro models.... This is ofcourse far from certain though. Especially considering one vital fact: If they were to release a new keyboard/mouse with the G5s you would expect it to match the G5 tower, right? But in most peoples cases peoples tower goes on the floor, while their keyboard goes up near their Apple Display... And the current pro keyboard/mouse do match the current Apple displays.

I have a Rev A white iBook. My power supply is the silver saucer style, not the square white icecube style. Sometimes it takes a while for the accessories to catch up with the main hardware (yeah, a mouse and a keyboard are more essential than "accessories," but you get my point).

Something better be brewing! I don't want that crappy ass keyboard, that looks bad with a G5 to boot.

Bah, apple BETTER do something, although it still seems illogical for them not to advertise the mouse & keyboard with the G5.
