I'm looking for a good extended keyboard with not too many bells and
whistles (volume buttons would be all I really wanted) that is Mac
compatible. I'm getting sick of spraining my right hand with this
Gyration wireless mouse(even with adjustments in USB Overdrive), so it
also needs a trackpad. The Gyration wireless keyboard doesn't register
keystrokes sometimes, so I'd prefer a wired USB connection. Did you get
the sense I'm not totally happy with this Gyration set? Any
suggestions?

I have a macally icekey that I like. It has scissor action keys like a laptop,
it's USB wired and it has volume, eject and apple command keys. (plus USB ports
on the side)

I love my macally. Have had it for four years--no problems whatsoever.

Has anyone tried the MacAlly "iMediaKey" board (as distinguished from the
"iceKey"? It's a little bit larger, but has 2 rows of "one-touch",
programmable keys up top...
