All new Pro Keyboard and Mouse at MacWorld SF'02.
Apple will unveil an all new Pro Keyboard and Pro Mouse at the upcoming MacWorld. Supposedly these new peripherals will have new colors that match the new enclosures of the entire product line, a sleek milky white color. The new Pro Mouse will shed the "side semi circle cut out" that it currently has. The Pro Keyboard will be slightly updated.

How does one pick it up while clicking, then?
<strong>Unfortunately the "milky white color" would not go well AT ALL with the PM and Ti Book.</strong><hr></blockquote>
The current PM no, a revised PM yes I suppose.
But I don't think they are white, I remember reading the same article, they have a white-ish metal look or something.

more interesting?
Graphite and Silver are neutral colors..they don't clash with many Interiors...Any flavor of white/off white is going to clash with many peoples home decor. I'm afraid they did the right thing by moving to Silver/Graphite as many Stereo components now come in silver but white aint it for computers.
<strong>Will the keyboard get a power key? That's the only thing I don't like about it.</strong><hr></blockquote>
What in the world do you need a power key for?
Who shuts their computer down anymore?
I didn't even realize that there *wasn't* a powerkey on the keyboard.
Also.. after some investigating, it would seem that you can Control-click on the "Eject" key to shut down... maybe that turns it on, also?
is it still a one-button mouse? the titanium casing interferes with the current Airport or some new generation? Would you happen to know something about iWalk?

It interferes very badly with the current AirPort. A friend of mine has a PBG4 and I have an iBook. We did a test. I can get three times further than he can.

And as for the mouse, if you aren't one of those people who move their arms very little and pick up the mouse constantly, you should have no problems with the simicircles being gone. Removing them will make the mouse look much more elegant.
Also, I think the color will be similar to the color of the side of the QS El Captian case.

I also get much better signal performance on my iBook than my boss does on his TiBook.
