Keyboards for Mac Mini

steve666

Howdy, I am considering getting a Mac Mini after they start installing Tiger on it. I want to replace my current keyboard-which is a old Apple Keyboard hooked up with a griffin imate to my iMac G3.

The thing is I really dont want a white keyboard, but i want the command and control buttons to be where it is on Mac keyboards so that rules out PC keyboards.

I will most likely get a black Logitech mouse so I would prefer a black or at least silver keyboard to go with it.

Does anyone know of a Mac compatible keyboard that isn't white )and has a 2 USB ports on it)?

Thanks

I also have a black-silver Logitech mouse and a black Griffin Powermate. I have been looking at Happy Hacking Lite II:

It's not specifically for Mac but neither is it specifically for anything else.

Has two USB ports.

Command buttons are configurable via switches in the back. You won't end up with command buttons in the wrong order.

You can access all twelve function keys through Fn. See the Fxx markings under the number keys?



Of course it's not as convenient as actually having F keys. I would prefer having them separate, but it's not anywhere near as important as having the other characteristics of the HH keyboard. I don't use the F keys that much.

I still think the black apple pro keyboard makes more sense. i just wish it worked as well as my apple II keyboard that Im using now. too bad its ugly beige and has no usb ports on it

I vote for the icekey too; great keyboard with its scissor-key action. I wish they made it in silver/grey like the PowerBook keyboards.

yeah, me too...at least the white matches my mouse, and some of my cables.
