Trackball/pad on wireless keyboard

Hi All,
One possible advantage of a wireless keyboard would be that you could use it in your
lap; only problem is the cursor. I'm just curious when we're going to get a trackball/pad
on our cool, sleek, whizzy mac wireless keyboards?

Because Apple has not made one with a 10-key pad yet.

  • Number pad for wireless keyboard

    There are two places where you can type in numbers on your wireless keyboard, across the top and on the right, when I have tried to type in numbers on the right side it will not appear on the computer, I have made sure that number lock is not on and the numbers still fail to appear on the monitor when I type them.

    turn off mouse keys in universal access.. had the same problem just got off the phone with support.. problem solved

  • I have an Imac in my bedroom and apple tv hooked to my big screen in my living room. When I select mirror Imac on the Imac to view on the big screen in living room, can I get a wireless keyboard and track pad to control Imac from living room?

    I do something like that, and can confirm 20 feet won't be a problem. More than 30 or so might be.

  • Just bought a new mac mini, wireless keyboard, and track pad. My track pad will not synch. All advise I have been given is to change items in the setting menu, but I cant because I still have to get through the setup!!

    The power button for the Trackpad is on the right hand end of the battery case. Press that button to initiate the pairing process. On the top of the Trackpad just above the power button is a tiny green light (you probably cannot see it unless it is lighted). That light will indicate ehther or not the Trackpad is discoverable. If the Trackpad has discoverable the green light will blink on and off. If it does not pair within 3 minutes you will have to press the power button again to re-initiate the pairing process. Once your Trackpad has paired, you can just leave it on and it will pair automatically when you reboot your Mac.
    If you are having problems pairing, try turning off any other Bluetooth devices within 30 or so feet of your Mac mini. That includes other Computers, iPhones, iPads, etc. that may be in the area. Once your Trackpad has pairedwith your mini, you don't have to be concerned about other Bluetooth devices.
    One other hint, I find that although the Wireless Trackpad does not eat batteries as fast as the Magic Mouse it still uses more than the Wireless Keyboard. It is a good idea to keep a supply of AA batteries around. I have used Apple's Rechargable batteries, but found they did not last that long before needing to be recharged. I have had the best battery life from Duracell Quantum batteries.

  • Wireless keyboard with integrated trackball

    I'm looking for a wireless keyboard with integrated trackball (for the mouse function) to be used with a mac mini (leopard).
    Any suggestion?
    The apple wireless keyboard looks very nice, but would require a separate mouse and mousepad. That would not work very well with the intended setup (mac mini connected to the TV and keyboard/trackball used from the couch).

    This trackball looks pretty good according to its reviews and specs:

  • Apple's new wireless keyboard - why no numeric pad?????

    I wanted to go buy one of those new sleek keyboards a while ago and I wanted it to be wireless. But then I found out that the wireless keyboard doesn't have a numeric pad! Why? Really, I don't see the purpose of this! I hope someone at Apple reads this and that they will start producing wireless keyboards with a numeric pad again because until then they won't see my money going to them. Anyone else who shares my opinion about this?
    Stef

    I agree, the numerical keypad is not useful for me. However, I miss the delete, home, end and page up/down keys. It is annoying with the wireless keyboard to have to use backspace to delete.
    Apple should either expand the current wireless model to include these keys or offer the current wired keyboard in wireless version.

  • Wireless keyboard number pad not working

    I purchased a wireless keyboard about 4 months ago and realized about a month ago the 9 digit number pad on the right stopped working. Every other button still works just not 1-9. Is there a number lock button that I may have pushed???

    What brand and model of numeric keypad are you attempting to use?

  • Wireless keyboard w/ number pad

    Is anyone using an original Apple Wireless keyboard (circa 2005) on a newer mac?  I cannot get mine to work with my 2008 Macbook or 2010 iMac...

    I recall an iPhone app that lets you use said iPhone as a number pad.
    You can make a script that applies a style, and then assign any keyboard shortcut you want to that script.
    I did that for a while, but eventually just started using Quick Apply. I started naming my styles in such a way as to keep ID functions out of the Quick Apply list - starting style names with varying numbers of apostrophes or right square brackets or whatever keys are handy and unused and right next to the Enter key. It wound up being rather faster than the numpad shortcuts for documents with large numbers of styles, after a few long nights of slightly frustrating re-education.

  • Why no number pad on Apples wireless keyboard

    I have an old white Apple wireless keyboard that does have the number pad on . .
    Why doesn't the newer aluminium design have one ?

    or maybe four extra rows, whatever but enough people are asking for it.

  • Wireless keyboard has NO NUMBER PAD.

    I will be buying a Mac mini in a few days and had planned to get the new Apple wireless keyboard to go with it. But it has no numeric pad. I need the expanded keyboard and I like wireless, so should I get the earlier Apple wireless keyboard that has it? Or is there another supplier that would be a better choice for my new mini with the latest OS? Thanks.

    I ended up finding my solution at Frye's, a desktop set from Gear Head. It's Bluetooth and has the white glossy look of classic Mac hardware, and thus matches my Apple Remote nicely. They keyboard is a bit like a laptop, so don't expect the feel of a normal heavier keyboard. It does have a full key set, with the sole exception of a separate Eject key - if you hold down F12 it performs that action for you. The mouse is a bit small, but considering use with a mini as a media center, it is fine for sitting on an end table next to my remote. The only problem I've had with Bluetooth's performance in any sense is a latency when reconnecting after a long idle - you have to be patient. On the whole I am very pleased I found this product and it fulfills exactly what I wanted. I can certainly use it halfway across my house.

  • Do I have to power off a wireless keyboard and magic pad ?

    Hello,
    I am a new iMac user. I recently purchased it with a wireless keyboard and a magic pad. The question may be simple. When I shutdown the iMac, do I still have to power off the keyboard and magic pad ? Or do they power down as well ? From little research I made, it seems like they would power down themselves provided that there is no other Mac with Bluetooth enabled within range. Thoughts ?
    Thanks.

    The wireless mouse and keyboard that came with my Mid 2010 iMac are now paired with my MacBook Pro when it's on the desk, and the trackpad is on my wife's new iMac with 10.8. I don't turn them off unless I'm traveling with them. The trackpad and mouse can go over a year that way on a set of batteries.
    The keyboard on the other hand, behaves differently. Where the other two devices will show slow but consistent decay of battery power over time, the keyboard batteries will stay at 100% for quite a while, then drop suddently to 50%, stay there a while, then give up. I've learned to pack a few extra AA batteries in my travel kit as a result of the unpredicitable dropoff instead of short life.
    Still the battery life is pretty good for all three and I don't think it hurts anything to leave them on. I do, and the devices are quickly recognized when I open the computer.
    It's up to you and what makes you comfortable. Either way they work.

    Is there a list of keyboard shortcuts to use on a wireless keyboard without a numeric pad?  What I'm missing most is the Page Up/Page Down and Begin/End functions, but a reference list for all available functions would be nice.

    Yup. Best $11 you can spend:
