Well, I'm happy to report that this combo actually works with a 15" Al PB. The internal BT module recognized the mouse and paired successfully.
FINALLY. I can now use the same wireless keyboard/mouse combo with both my PC and my MAC.
I'm a happy camper...

along with that, there are times (boot up) when a bluetooth keyboard won't give you input. so single user mode, boot of a cd, hold down the mouse button to eject media etc. don't function.
you also lose sound functions (keyboard) brightness is funky, and i had a bit of trouble getting the eject to work. got that one eventually though.

yeah it is, which is a pain because the windows key only exists on the left side of the keyboard. annoying when you're used to it being on both sides.
Back in the day the Apple key was only on one side of the keyboard. I believe this was changed sometime in the mid 90s. The first computer I owned that had the Apple key on both sides was my 6400 which I bought in 97. Before that I had an LC, Apple key was only on one side. Kind of hard to imagine that now. It would seem so weird to not have it on both, but thats the way things were a few short years ago.

It's a Command key. Brief history:
Sometime: Apple introduces the Apple keys, closed and open. No cloverleaf/
Sometime later: They spread to the Apple IIe, AFAIK with the IIe. Still no clover
1984: Apple Mac released. No Apple key, instead the command (clover) key. The Apple logo is absent from the key.
Sometime later: Apple IIgs released with ADB
1987: Mac SE and Mac II released with ADB. Keyboard features key with both command image (for Mac) and Apple logo (for Apple II compatibility.) On the Mac, there was never supposed to be an apple on the key. It follows that you should call it a command key on the Mac, especially because:
1989: Mac Portable released. Keyboard is integrated, however still features apple logo on command key.
1991: PowerBooks released, same thing.
1998: USB keyboard released from Apple. Still features apple logo on cmd key even though keyboard doesn't work on an Apple IIgs, at least I don't think it does.
1999: iBook released, features only one command key.

It only works with one keyboard/mouse set at a time; it doesn't work with both at the same time.
I just bougt a cheap Logitech mouse with an infared connector (no wire, uses an adapter in the usb port). I like the mouse, except for one thing, the click is loud (relatively).
My 2 year old Logitech mouse with a usb connector but with a wire to the transmitter, has a much softer sound.
Does the Microsoft bluetooth mouse have a soft click?
Thanks,

It's all relative. The MS BT mouse is pretty silent to me; it's kinda like a muted click.
Hope this helps...
THANK YOU !
