New Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse Filings Appear on FCC Website

Engadget reports that Apple has filed testing information with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission for approval of a new Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The filings briefly included basic drawings of the forthcoming devices, although they were quickly removed.

A new Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse have arrived at the FCC, and they've got new model numbers of A1314 and A1296 -- the current wireless keyboard is A1255 and the Mighty Mouse is A1197. That's pretty much all we know for now, but these keyboard dimensions are also smaller than the current model, which rules out a return of the numeric keypad -- sorry to dash your hopes, Excel jockeys.

Several reports in recent days have suggested that a redesigned Apple mouse has been under development and may be released alongside new iMacs in the very near future.

how about a black or white with backlighting and a full keyboard? is that too much to ask? To be honest though, i don't see myself moving away from logitech.

I would love to get the current bluetooth keyboard, but I use the number pad too much.

I want them to add it back with the number pad. I need it...

Even smaller keyboard? Laame. They better have a big version of this as well, wouldn't that need an FCC filing as well? Hopefully it's not discontinued. (I'm talking about a wired version though)
