innuendo

in-you(r)-end-o, but imagine it being pronounced by Chico Marx. The play on the Italian pronunciation of 'your' being 'you.'

As in Whattsa matta u?

...you are a sick sick man...but that was pretty funny :).

Anyone have any idea if the keys come off easily on the new keyboards?

I see that the new keyboard continues the recent trend by having a raised ridge on the "F" and "J" keys. At home, I usually swap the "F" / "D" and "J" / "K" keys so that I can get the bumps in the proper positions. Just curious if this can be done on the new keyboard.

I really miss the old Apple adjustable keyboard. Bumps on the "D" and "K", palm rests (removeable) and adjustable angle, it was great for comfort. The only downside I recall was the function keys, but back then, there didn't seem to be as much use for them.

I hated the hockey puck. It was always turning around and I'd go to use it without looking and find the cursor going the wrong way.

I use right-click heaps for contextual menus.

Yeah I turned them off on mine. I kept accidently bringing up Expose when I was trying to do other things.

I like the scroll wheel too but it took me a bit of getting used to. Plus it tends to clog a bit too easily and there's no way to open it up and clean it.

Too true about the side buttons - just shows how ergonomically badly we hold our mice - too much tension and pressure gripping! Should just be relaxed and fluid!

I only occassionally have troubles with the scroll ball sticking in one direction or something. I just do what was recommend in these forums, turn it upside down and roll around and around on the scroll ball! Works every time....plus not eating and computing at the same time! ;)

Last night I tried out the new keyboards at our apple store. The action of the keys was nice, but I find that I'm crowding my wrists too near one another.

I'm thinking, now that I need a new keyboard, that I'll go with CAlvarez' advice from awhile back on another thread, and try the microsoft 4000 keyboard.

Carlos, if you're out there reading, have you tried the microsoft wireless laser desktop for mac keyboard? It doesn't appear to be as ergonomic as the 4000, being part of the 'comfort curve' series.

I don't know what (most) of you guys are talking about. I just got the new keyboard about a week ago and I love it! I love how silent the keystrokes are. there is still plenty of resistence, and you know you are typing on something. The keyboard is SUPER light, and much smaller than most other keyboards I have ever seen (I take mine with me a lot so it matters.) It's also going to be much harder to get this one messy since there are no gaps. I love it! Took me about one day to get used to it, but now I am and I love it.

Interesting thing about the bumps on the K and D keys as opposed to the J and F keys. I never noticed, because I sort of learned to type on my own, and never got into the home row habit. I only peck with three fingers and couldn't care less where the home row is, but I bet that would be very annoying to someone who got used it it. But I can say for sure that the keys do not come off easily. Although they might come off with a little force, and some kind of tool... But I am afraid to try.

12Mo, did you go with the usb extended board or the wireless?
