What wired keyboard with trackpad do you recommend?

My wife would like to put her MB Pro on a stand and attach a wired keyboard with built-in trackpad. She wants WIRED, not wireless. Has anyone used a non-Apple keyboard like this that they recommend? I am thinking the key arrangement might be tricky.

There are no keyboards on the market that have built-in trackpads with the capabilities of the MBP's built-in trackpad.
Why does your wife want a wired keyboard? Has she ever used an Apple wireless one?
I recomend the Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Trackpad without reservation or qualification. I've been using mine for a year now with my late-2008 unibody MBP, and haven't had a bit of trouble with them at any time. The Magic Trackpad works exactly the same as the built-in trackpad, so that when I pick up my machine to use away from my office, I don't have any adjustment to make. And the wireless keyboard has exactly the same feel as the MBP's, so there's no adjustment to make there either.
Your wife should really try these things out.

What wired 2-button mouse do you recommend to replace Mighty Mouse?

I’m looking for a wired 2-button mouse to replace the wired Mighty Mouse I got with my new 20” iMac purchased a year ago. I will appreciate any recommendations for a comfortable trouble-free mouse. Before I switched from a Windows machine to the iMac I used a Logitech MouseMan Wheel that was not only reliable but very comfortable to use. I’d like to find something comparable for use with the iMac.

Wow, that was fast. I can't find the button to click on for "helpful" for your post. Where did the button go? It did work on some earlier posts from you, but not all. Anyway, it begins to feel like we're almost out of the woods!
So a broadband router it is. I have zero motivation to try routing between IP subnets, happily.
Nice to have affirmation of the RV0041. It seemed to be the highest level before jumping all the way to Cisco. Yeah, the Telenet firewall configuration requirement on the Zywall 5 was something to choke on. Oh—I did find one review on it. The writer, an IT tech, emphasized in all capitals that a user has to have extensive knowledge of configuring these things BEFORE getting a Zywall. So the Zywall seems to also fit squarely into the IT pro department. On the RV0041, I thought the Gigabit switch feature was very fine.
Actually I have the software firewall "NetBarrier" installed already. Kind of sounds as if a lot of the functions of a network appliance are largely duplicated by NetBarrier. It's given me alerts in real time for attempted port scanning, for example. I do want fast page loading, so the performance lag using a network security device seems like a marked disadvantage.
Would a combination of NetBarrier and the RV0041 largely provide equivalent protection compared to a network security device? I'm willing to live with less protection to an extent to avoid slowing things down.
Once again, many thanks indeed

What "ToDo" application (with "folders") do you recommend?

I am an experienced user of the Communicator 9500 Phone from Nokia.
It looks somewhat clumsy but it is highly efficient to use for business.
The Agenda application is especially well designed. It includes a "ToDo" section, which can be subdivided in Main Topics, kind of folders. Eg "home", "Work", "Car", "Holidays". In one view you can visualise many items related to your car, or to your Work Project 1, Your holidays, and so on. And it is fully integrated into the Calendar app.
I am now the proud and confused owner of an IPhone 4 but the apps provided with the phone are for the casual user, managing a couple of events per week, and not for someone managing a couple of hundred todo reminders spread over 12 main topics. I am so not convinced by the Agenda that I only use the IPhone to...phone and continue to use the Nokia for "serious" purposes.
Obviously I cannot continue to do this.
What application should I seek to manage these todos?
What Agenda application should I seek, in replacement of Apple's Agenda, to manage these ToDos WITHIN the agenda?
Your advice would be appreciated.
Patrick

OmniFocus is probably the most heavy-duty to-do app out there, with iphone, ipad, and mac clients, and good support for different folders/contexts. Warning: pricing and ease-of-use are commensurate with the heavy-duty. Free trial on the mac.

People report it is still possible to use a wired USB keyboard with the CCK, if you use a powered USB hub to get around the "not enough power" error message. (I have done this with an older Apple USB keyboard my non-jailbroken iPad1 on iOS 4.3.3.) Normally, powered USB hubs have a AC power adapter so you lose portability unless you can find a battery powered USB hub. At this point, the (in)convinience of the USB hub becomes an issue, depending on what you get.
And wired USB keyboard were never supported for the iPad. So there's no guarantee that it will continue to work with future iPad updates from Apple. So best to go with a Bluetooth keyboard unless you have a specific USB keyboard that you "must" use. If you have all the equipment already, I say give it a try. But I would not recommend trying a USB keyboard if you have to purchase anything.

Apple Wired keyboard with numeric keypad works for 10.5.6??

Hello!
I have a iBook G4 1 Ghz 256 mb of ram. I want the apple wired keyboard
With numeric keypad. My iBook is running 10.5.6. Would this work on leopard?
I don't care if the launch pad and mission control keys don't work since I have leopard.
However, on the box it says that the minimum requirements
Is 10.6.8 but some people say it'll work.
Please Help!!!
Thank You So Much

ok thanks for the tip and yes i admit i didn't see that...
but it seems a little weird to have to upgrade all the OS to Snow Leopard just to use a keyboard.
That kind of new device should be configured through a driver to download...shouldn't it ?
I presume there's no keyboard driver that can solve my problem.. ?
so you confirm that if i pay for Snow Leopard and upgrade my OS, my keyword will definitely work correctly with my Mac Mini ?
Thanks

Wired keyboard with/without extension cable?

One realizes that these days the sleek new Apple corded USB keyboards - those with nummeric block - in the unit sale (not as a component of iMac shipment)
are fitted with additional USB cable. It seams to be some sort of extension cable for convenient connection of other USB device.
However the keyboard of the same type delivered with sleek new iMac Late 2013 - the purchase was in February 2014 - was
not delivered with such additional cable. Nor the user manual for keyboard was attached. Instead of this
the Magic Trackpad ordered with that iMac got two hard copies of user manual.
Regarding the additional usb cable attached to corded usb keyboard is this a change conducted by Apple
between February 2014 and these days, or rather an error in shipment those days?

However the keyboard of the same type delivered with sleek new iMac Late 2013 - the purchase was in February 2014 - was not delivered with such additional cable.
Check that keyboard to see if it has a USB port on either side. Mine (ordered with a 2011 iMac) has one on each end. If it doesn't then there's no need for an additional USB cable. I don't remember if it included a USB cable.
According to this Apple product page, Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad - English (USA), separately ordered wired keyboards with keypads come with two USB ports and an USB extension cable. However, when ordered with a iMac Call an Apple store or Apple at phone number at the bottom of this page and ask if it should have.

Organizer Tray for Apple Wired Keyboard & Magic Trackpad

Greetings,
I have found several "organizer tray" products online for positioning the Bluetooth keyboard and the Magic Trackpad like a Macbook Pro where the trackpad is just below the keyboard.
I am curious to know if anyone has seen or has a tray that will organize the Apple wired aluminum keyboard with the numeric keypad and the Magic Trackpad.
I find that I'm getting RSI in my fingers and wrist having the trackpad to the right of the keyboard.
Anyone seen anything?
Thank-you!
Derrick

Just found another one; a slightly different configuration and less than half the price: http://www.magiclapdesk.com/magiclapdesk-for-apple-trackpad.html Good luck!

What is the best set up you recommend ?

Hi guys, I had a quick question, I want to know the best set up you recommend. I attend a small church and they have four wireless mic and one mic that is not wireless, majority of the time they just use the one mic that has a cord. They want me to help them upgrade their audio system, they currently have a 6 channel amp and some great sounding speakers. I was going to suggest they get a imac and we run garage band and either use their current amp or get a new inexpensive mixing board, with their current amp or the mixing board I know we will need some type of 3.5mm adapter to plug it into the computer. We would like to record the church sermons as well as load all the church music that are on CD's into the mac and make play list and play those from i-tunes. What do you guys suggest ? I am very familiar with mac and I do a lot of video with FCP and motion, but not much with Audio, I do know soundtrack pro, would that be better to use ? I would like a setup where we can do as much as possible from the computer like open and close mics and adjust mic levels, if not then I can do that from the amp or mixing board with no problem, thanks

What you appear to be describing is sending a stereo track to GB on a Mac using the Mac's built-in input.
There are three issues I see with your system.
One you are limiting it to a stereo track. Using the Mac's built-in input with a 3.5mm plug. And have no way to control individual mic levels from the Mac.
However, you could have the possibility of recording multiple tracks, individual level control and ability to mix those tracks inside of GB or another DAW and a much better sounding recording by adding an audio interface to your setup. Which I believe is the missing ingredient to reach you goals.
Something like a Presonus interface with 8 mic pre's should work fine.
So you would run all church mic's into the interface and record inside of GB and run the analog output from the interface into the amp. Amp to speakers.
However, although I wouldn't have a problem with that setup...you are relying on hard drives and software and a human running it...so there is a dependability factor to consider comparatively.
You may be fine just getting a 2 track digital recorder hooked up to the output of the mic preamp you already have. And transporting that to the Mac later....?
Dunno what you needs are exactly so I can't say....

Wired keyboard with wireless mouse

I just got a new iMac with wireless keyboard and mouse. I hate the new compact keyboard. If I buy a plugged in keyboard would I be able to use my wireless mouse?
Sure lost a lot of capability with this "baby" keyboard.

Yes, you can use your wireless Mighty Mouse with a wired keyboard.

External Keyboard with Trackpad / Touchpad for Macbook Pro

Wondering if there is a quality keyboard with Touchpad that works well with the MacBook Pro?
Feedback on the Adesso is that it's kind of flimsy...

It is the second one on this page, called the "Adesso SlimTouch Wireless 2.4 GHz RF Mini Touchpad Keyboard Wireless Keyboard from Adesso"

What team-based development tool can you recommend?

Our team works on a Windows 2000 platform and an Oracle 8i database. Can anyone recommend a good team-based development tool that we can use with our JDeveloper? What about tools like webDAV, Rational ClearCase? Are they easy to use and easy to deploy? What else is out there that already works for you?
Thanks.
