I haven’t yet figured out what they all do, but here’s the quick tour starting to the left of the caps lock key and going clockwise: (Lefties note that this is definitely a right handed mouse.)Īs you look at the photo, notice how many extra buttons and controls the keyboard has. I can program the right and left mouse buttons, the speed of the scroll wheel, the behavior of the scroll wheel button, and the thumb button.

The mouse drivers work beautifully in OS 9 and X. MouseWare only supports two things: the mouse and the scroll wheel on the keyboard (see below).

Logitech strongly recommends Mac OS 9.0 and later for those using its MouseWare driver, which is strictly a mouse driver.

If this is the only keyboard you’re using with your Mac (and it probably won’t be if you’re using it with a ‘Book, which also has a built-in keyboard), ResExcellence explains how to use ResEdit to hack the Classic Mac OS to make the keys work as they should. That was a rude surprise, because I spend most of my time working in Mac OS 9.2.2 – not in OS X and not in Classic Mode. The keycaps are only correctly marked when you use Logitech’s Control Center software, and that System Preference only works in Mac OS X. That’s just the opposite of what Mac users are used to – and the opposite of the way the keys are marked.

As with all PC keyboards, Cmd is mapped to the Windows key and Alt/Option to the Alt key. I quickly discovered that this is first and foremost a PC keyboard. No drivers necessary – or so it seemed at first. Exactly what works for your desk, your height, and your eyes is something only you can determine. My external CD burner sits on a shelf beneath the TiBook. The screen is just beyond my fingertips, and reading at this range is very comfortable. As for the stand, my TiBook is at a nearly perfect height sitting on a Fellowes monitor stand (6.5″) with my Podium CoolPad on top of that. Push the connect button on the receiver and then push the red connect buttons on the bottom of the mouse and keyboard. It’s not difficult it just has to be done in the right order. I had to read the Read Me to discover the procedure for synching the mouse and keyboard to the receiver. Of course, before I could use this, I had to clear my cluttered desk, put the TiBook on a stand, and then plug in the receiver. (Those using PCs or Motorola StarMax computers will be happy to note that the receiver also has PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors.) The receiver draws its power from the USB port. The keyboard and mouse each use two AA batteries for power, and they should last for months upon months before needing replacement. In addition to the mouse and keyboard, the box contains a receiver, four AA batteries, and a wrist rest. No more USB cable tangling things when I want to put a keyboard in my lap. No more USB cables snaking from my TiBook to my mouse. Looking at the price of a USB keyboard, a wireless keyboard, and the combination that was on sale (US$80 after rebates), I elected to go with the Cordless Elite Duo. The top-end keyboard, though – that has great keyboard action. The least expensive keyboards have a mushy feel to them, while the mid-priced model is of average quality. Logitech seems to make keyboards in three qualities: cheap, okay, and very nice. The number of USB and wireless keyboards Logitech offers is impressive. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many Logitech keyboards come with Apple markings: the splat and Open Apple on the Command key, the Alt/Option label on what is also the Windows key. Moore compares the combo to a Mercedes or BMW, so the last time I was at CompUSA, I had to check it out. Looking at recent reviews on other sites, the Logitech Cordless Elite Duo sounded very inviting. (With the Oyster, you’d also lose access to the DVD, CD-RW, or Combo drive in a TiBook.) Using a laptop stand requires an additional investment in a mouse and keyboard. Devices such as the Lapvantage Dome and forthcoming Oyster Laptop Dock let you move your ‘Book off the desk to position the screen at a more comfortable, more ergonomically correct height.īut they also ruin the idea of typing on your ‘Book’s keyboard or using its trackpad. The latest thing in laptops is using them as desktops.
