Wireless keyboard plus built-in-trackball

I have found a Wireless Mini Keyboard with built-in-Trackball by X-gene. Maybe somebody knows, if this product is running under Mac Mini ?
The System Requirements shows:
Mac and Windows 2000, XP, and above compatible.

Found Typhoons media center desktop keyboard for windows.
But is working also fine with my mac.

After mavericks updating ,i cant pair my wireless keyboard keyboard working but just not pairing , plus my mac is logged out for logging in to reach the preferences i need my keyboard back any help would be here? Ps: i dont have another keyboard to connect .

For the both of you.
Turn your Mac on, wait until the login screen appears.
Turn off your keyboard, wait several seconds. Hopefully a "Keyboard turned off" or "Keyboard disconnected" comes up. Then remove the batteries.
Turn the Mac off then turn it back on.
When it turns back on, it should say missing keyboard or something of the sort. Put the batteries back into the keyboard and turn it back on. Hopefully it should start talking again.
It sounds like you two have a Mac that doesn't have a built-in keyboard. So you could easily reset the SMC...

Wireless keyboard w / optical trackball for MAC

Hello there:
Anyone know of a good wireless keyboard (rf) with optical trackball for
macs? i can find them for PCs , but haven't found anything for the mac.
thanks

Anything that plugs into the USB port will work on apple.
I'm not sure that's totally true of input devices, especially keyboards. Something has to tell them that a certain key is to become the command key on a Mac. Older cross-platform (and pre-USB) boards had a switch that changed them from Mac to PC. Modern boards need software drivers to assign keys. I've used a lot of third-part USB mice and--yes--they work, but on a very basic level. To customize buttons and activate other features you need Mac drivers.
In short, ask before you buy. Know the return policy in case a Windoze USB device fails on your Mac.
This company sells USB trackpads in various sizes along with clips to attach them to keyboards. This is advertised as Mac-compatible and may provide a similar but cheaper solution.

Wireless Keyboard with touchpad?

I have been looking for some time for a wireless keyboard with built in mouse control - a touchpad seems the obvious choice - to use with a mac mini in a plasma TV/Hi Fi home theatre set up. There seems to be a gap in the market for this type of device.
I have so far come across 2-3 third party devices that only work with PC but not wirelessly (two USB, one PS2). Sony make a nice looking white cylindrical media PC that has a wireless keyboard with a touchpad. I also see them in some department stores at the point of sale tills.
I know I could get a wireless Mac (mighty) mouse, but when you are sat in a chair or sofa, there are very few surfaces where you can comfortably use a wireless mouse. It just feels odd!
Many people are comfortable using a laptop on their lap and controlling the mouse pointer with a touchpad so it is just like detaching the screen, moving it away 6-8 feet and making it bigger of course! The user interface and experience stays the same.
If Apple got wise and marketed the mini as a media centre, I'm sure they would make the connection and produce another wireless keyboard with built in touchpad. Until then, has anyone come across a suitable solution?

Hi Bob,
I'll be in the same boat as you soon, aiming to migrate my G4 Mac Mini to the living room soon, and doing the homework now.
Here are the wireless keyboards that I've found appealing for this purpose:
Logitech Playstation 3 Cordless MediaBoard Keyboard, US$47
Some people have said it works well on Mac and PC too, so this seems good. Note: the PRO model is much more expensive!
http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-3-Cordless-MediaBoard-Keyboard/dp/B000MFLBBK
Logitech DiNovo Edge, US$157
Very smart looking, pure Bluetooth tech and nice trackpad/media cursor.
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/192&cl=hk,en
Logitech DiNovo Mini, US$149
Miniturized version of above, yuo'll be using thumbs to type. Only recently released.
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3848&cl=us,en?WT.ac =ps
Adessa WKB-4000US, US$80
Matches your description of a laptop keyboard and trackpad perfectly!
http://www.amazon.com/Adesso-WIRELESS-SLIMTOUCH-TOUCHPAD-WKB-4000US/dp/B00083Y0Y G/ref=pdbbs5?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1203675646&sr=8-5
I've tried some of the relatively cheaper mini keyboards that have a trackball on the right and left+right mouse keys on the left. The build quality was abit poor and either the trackball easily lost traction (within afew days!) or the keys started falling off, but I do recall I tried it and it wasn't very good, and I returned it. I'm also abit weary of RF wireless, because I have had some RF mice where the battery died very quickly and the wireless connection was not smooth unless you had the mouse right next to the USB dongle. I tried afew cheap brands, going upto the Kensington wireless mouse, but just gave up on RF stuff since.
If you do go for one of the above, please do let us know how it is with them!

Wireless Keyboards with Touchpads?

My wife has a new external monitor for her macbook pro. She loves the touchpad on the laptop, so we're wondering if anyone can recommend a good wireless keyboard with built-in touchpad. Thanks.

Oh dear, that is annoying! I tried searching on Amazon, but the best they have is English keyboards with Thai characters on them =/
If I find anything, I'll be sure to tell you

Wireless keyboard and track pad in one

Isn't there a wireless keyboard with built in track pad available for the macbook. Seems to me that there should be - or is my only option to get the keyboard, the track pad and the extra thingy that joins them together? I want a wireless set up exactly like my macbook (i.e. small trackpad below keyboard letters.

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.

Plus and minus keys on wireless keyboard?

hi there everyone. i've got a new aluminum wireless keyboard and i love it to bits. gorgeous bit of design and elegance. on the previous apple keyboard however there was a couple of handy keys next to the numeric pad for 'plus' and 'minus'. Does anyone know how i can find these on the wireless keyboard? these were particularly handy when hit with the 'command' key to increase or decrease the size of text in safari.

excellent, thank you, i'd obviously not looked at my keyboard closely enough! cheers...

Is it possible to use the Apple wireless keyboard with the iPhone 6? Will the Magic Mouse work with iMovie on iPhone6 Plus?

iPhone 6 page says that iMovie is a (free) application available for iPhone 6. When I use it on the desktop I need a mouse. Should I expect all controls to be touch-sensitive, or is it possible to use the wireless Magic Mouse? Similarly, if I want to type an email or a long document, is it possible to use the Mac wireless keyboard to enter text? With the iPhone 6 Plus taking over for laptops (phablet), it seems to me that input tools are relevant. Maybe what I'm asking is whether the iPhone6 (OS8) has drivers for these devices. Please advise.

Apps that are designed for iOS devices such as the iOS version of iMovie are intended to be used entirely by touch. It's worth noting that iMovie for iOS is not absolutely identical to iMovie for Mac OS.

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).
Paolo

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

Ultraslim Plus Wireless Keyboard and Mouse not connecting

I just bought the Ultraslim Plus Wireless Keyboard and Mouse, but I can't get either to work. My machine (ThinkPad X230-2324-HQ4) does not have a CD drive for me to use the install CD, so I found and downloaded the driver from your support site:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-77112
I installed the driver properly and restarted my computer, but neither the keyboard or mouse will connect still. I've checked the batteries, and I've verified that my ThankPad's Bluetooth drivers are up to date and working properly, but I still can't seem to get it to work. I've found posts on here from people with similar issues, but they seem to all be related to the Ultraslim, not the Ultraslim Plus. The Ultraslim Plus does not include a USB dongle for connection.
Please help!

The Ultraslim Plus Wireless Kit is Wireless 2.4G solution, it is not Bluetooth solution. It has a dongle when shipping. Maybe you can check the mouse or Keyboard inside and find the dongle. You can open the mouse battery bin, it should be a dongle at top of two batteries. If you still can not find the dongle, I suggest you call the Lenovo help center since you don't have the dongle.

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.

Why doesn't apple make a wireless keyboard with a built in keypad?

Why doesn't Apple make a bluetooth wireless keyboard with a built in keypad. I don't want clutter on my desktop, but I need a keypad. I think we should demand this product!

You can tell Apple your thoughts on them making such a keyboard:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
In the meantime, you can get an add-on keypad. If one of the separate keypads is too much clutter, then LMP makes one that attaches directly to, and matches aluminum finish of, the Apple Wireless Keyboard:

Cleaning Ultraslim Plus Wireless Keyboard?

Hi all,
I've owned a lenovo ultraslim plus wireless keyboard and mouse combo. I love it, and it feels great to use, and is extremely versatile. It's been a year since I bought it and now it needs cleaning.
I tried removing all screws, but it doesn't seem to come apart very easily. I don't have the user guide with me so I don't know where to start.
This may be one of the most basic/stupidly simple questions on here but could anyone tell me how to get to the keys inside the keyboard without possibly damaging/breaking the keyboard bezels?

The Ultraslim Plus Wireless Kit is Wireless 2.4G solution, it is not Bluetooth solution. It has a dongle when shipping. Maybe you can check the mouse or Keyboard inside and find the dongle. You can open the mouse battery bin, it should be a dongle at top of two batteries. If you still can not find the dongle, I suggest you call the Lenovo help center since you don't have the dongle.

Magic Mouse and Wireless Keyboard: Should charge off iMac

Apple, you've been shipping Bluetooth peripherals that require disposable batteries for years. It's time to design long-lasting rechargeable batteries into these devices.
Years ago I open-lettered the idea of designing Apple's BT devices with built-in rechargeable batteries. The basic idea consists of a USB cable that is used periodically to connect to the CPU and to the devices. The devices would have a red and green light that become visible when depleted or charged respectively. When the devices require a charge, the USB cable is connected to the iMac and then to the device. The USB cable is put away once the green light indicates a full charge.
No visual clutter, no batteries to dump into the landfill.
While I'm not a rabid environmentalist, the fact that Apple is speaking openly about it's accomplishments in this area (http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/environment.html), while at the same time shipping a Mac that requires disposable batteries is a bit of a letdown to this longtime Mac buyer (since 1986).
Throwaway batteries are unnecessary.
The technology exists to include a long life built-in rechargeable battery. A USB charging cable, used as described above, would not clutter Apple's design intentions for the new iMacs. Instead, it would strengthen Apple's Green Design goals.
Apple has had years to noodle out such a feature. In my opinion, there's no excuse for this oversight.

Hi Chillspike. In response to your comment, +"Is one or two wires (keyboard & mouse) too much clutter for people?..."+
Not all of us have a lot of computer space. My iMac is on a small table along with my TV, cable box, DVD player, etc. I have a rats nest of wires in the back, including my internet receiver, USBs for my iPod, wireless keyboard, and wireless trackball, a backup hard drive, and my printer (I have to switch something else out in order to plug it in). I might sit on the edge of my bed and put the keyboard in my lap, although I usually stretch out in bed a few feet away to work.
I had a wired keyboard and trackball a while ago, and nearly pulled the computer off the table a couple of times as I was trying to get settled in! So going wireless is as much a matter of practicality for some of us, as your preference for hard wiring is for you. If you prefer being wired, I hope someone comes up with a product that meets your needs - and maybe by the time they do they will have the "bugs" worked out of this new one.

Apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse disconnecting

Just bought new MBP Retina Display (OSX 10.8.2) to replace 1st Gen. MacAir. Used to use Apple Wireless Keyboard and MM on old Air and worked flawlessley for years. New MBP installed both of these older items (keyboard and MM) cleanley when I set up, but almost instantly, after about one minute of working, the keyboard and MM disconnect themselves and the only way to reconnect is power them off and then power back up. I have hanged the batteries on both to high end ones and they are still holding charge very wel.
In my office I have a work PV that also uses two USB wireless devices for the PC keyboard and mouse and then also a small HDX Jam Bluetooth speaker. Also, my iPhone and iPad are around. My Airport Express is about two feet away from the MBP as well. Again, all of these worked just fine with my Air for over five years.
I took the MBP, keyboard and MM into the Apple store and had them check it out. Of course it worked perfectley while I was there, plus I learned that in my new MBP the wireless card has the bluetooth built into it and unless my wireless connections got wonky, then the chances of it being hardware were slim.
I am so out of options. I have tried to identify all environmental factors. I have tried moving the MBP closer, further, etc. and still nothing. It is the wierdest thing and now getting very frustrating because I am having to use the MBP keyboard all the time and it is supposed to be up on a stand and in a more ergonomically friendly position.
Anyone got any suggestions? Is there something I am missing? Is there something in my environment I am unaware of that could be contributing to this?

I have a 15" MBP Retina display from 2012, Lion 10.7.5, running lid closed with bluetooth mouse and keyboard. My desk configuration has not changed but in the last couple of weeks I get both devices disconnecting simultaneously, once or twice per day. The dashed bar disappears from the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar.
I turn bluetooth off and on (lift the lid, using keypad), and then it all works again. I don't need to even touch the mouse or keyboard they instantly reconnect. It is not the magic mouse battery problem, I've suffered through that and have it licked, and that would only take out the mouse. There's nothing obvious in the system logs. No change I know of in nearby electrical appliances or WiFi configuration.
