The new mouse and keyboard
MacUser UK
Okay so it's been confirmed that the keyboard that was doing the rounds on FH, is now being supplied with the new eMac.
But does anyone have any details of the new mouse?

The Apple Pro Mouse has also been slightly modified, though details of this are sketchy, to say the least.
Sounds to me like a minor revision and one that no one is really sure of. The poster people looked at prior to the release of the eMacs which brought speculation about the keyboard also brought speculation of the mouse pictured.
People thought that the mouse looked a little shorter in length. To me it seemed that the mouse only looked that way because of the angle/perspective from which the photograph was taken. But perhaps now there really have been changes and it has nothing to do with "perspective."
Any word?

It is sad that Apple now has powerbooks with built-in bluetooth but no mouse supporting that technology. Any news from the front?
Because bluetooth mice are totally unnecessary. Any wireless device should have a charging station to go with it. And my wireless mouse does just fine without Bluetooth. Bluetooth has so many other uses...why are people stuck on mice and keyboards?

I wonder if it's still adjustable.
The more I study it the more I doubt it. Cost cutting?

Maybe. But it's probably not that huge an issue anyway. Still, It's that kind of attention to detail that makes Apple products stand apart. Well, it's one of the things.
I've actually found Apple's pro-mouse to be very precise and fast. I don't have one, but it is very nice to use, even with one button.
About bluetooth mice tho, Eugene, I agree with you, on the desktop, but laptop users could really use a nice bluetooth mouse, something that charges over a retractable cord would solve all docking issues and make a really nice mobile solution.
Meh, just a guess. And I don't think that many people ever actually mess around with it (I did and did see a difference, but I guess they figured it's a waste).

Maybe they aren't calling it "pro" anymore because they are making something completely different for the new Power Mac... 8)
Hmm... that'd be cool... anyone remember how long the beige round mouse lasted? You know the one...
Although I doubt that that's any kind of reference to speculate on whether Apple should upgrade the Pro Mouse or not. It'd still be cool to see a revison on it though.

I bet they ditched the adjust wheel because it was getting too dirty on desks --- the one place on that mouse to catch dirt is in the grooves of the adjust wheel.
Too true: the crud that gets caught up in there after a good solid month of use is something to behold. Fortunately it all comes out with the tip of a trusty jeweller's screwdriver.
What do you think? I think it looks kinda cheapish \

On no! I like that big time. It's a variation on an old design that dates way back - it was the SnowWhite frameless keyboard if I remember?
I think it looks great without the frame around the the keyboard - a nice design revisited using contemporary materials...
