I'll head over to Best Buy and see if it's compatible with my Mac too. Thanks again for the reco! That’s a pretty little mouse, I must say.

I'd check that out and get them to give you a new one. That being said, I think I'll give the MS keyboard a try. I don't really get much pain from using a keyboard -- using a mouse, however, is a whole other painful story for me -- but it should be worth checking out.

It DOES take a while to get used to and the keys are a bit squishier than I would like, but the resting hand position is incredibly natural and did a lot to reduce wrist pain I was beginning to experience as I ramped up the # of hours I spent working in front of a computer. I have the new Apple keyboard at home and I like it to some degree, though I have some wrist pain with it at times. I also find it more difficult to type accurately with than some keyboards. However, my biggest complaint is that on the left-hand side the rubber foot doesn't touch, instead the plastic at the upper left does so this side slides around and clanks when I type with force.

I tried to go without mentioning the wireless version. I wouldn't call it an 'epic fail' or anything, but it surely had much less thought put into it than the wired version. Wireless Apple keyboard = not really recommended. (Got any recs for a good split keyboard?) Oh yech. I tried to go without mentioning the wireless version.

Every time I've tried one briefly, it has felt foreign to me. A bit like how you felt with the Apple keyboard. I'm thinking that keyboard preference is shaped considerably by extended use -- maybe I need to give a split-keyboard a chance for a week; and you, an Apple keyboard! =) To be honest, I’ve never actually used a split-keyboard for an extended length.
