Around 24 hours after posing this question (and some great consideration based on feedback here and on Twitter) I purchased the wireless Apple Keyboard and Mighty Mouse. They are be-aut-iful.

I’m surprised that I didn’t need to make any finger adjustments to using the wireless keyboard given that some keys are in slightly different places – notably the up/down/left/right keys aswell as the lack of delete key. I’ve touched the += key a few times when reaching for the backspace key, but apart from that it’s just been an utter joy to use. How nice to finally be without that spare bit of key-land to the right which I just never touched. It was becoming a great haven for dust.

After inserting the three AA batteries into the keyboard and switching it on, I noticed a little green light appear. Once I’d paired it up with my iMac (which is all so quick and easy as you’d expect from Apple) I tried looking for that green light. Where did it go? I could see no visible means whatsoever. I switched it off and on again, there appeared the light. I kept my eye on it until it went out so I could try and see “the joins” – not a chance. It just totally disappears. How do they do that? It’s so sleek.

The wireless Mighty Mouse feels great aswell. I didn’t really take into consideration the weight difference considering the wireless takes, of course, two batteries thus making it feel heavier and in turn more solid. It’s a lovely feel, glides great. Very very happy indeed. I’ve already sold my wired Apple Keyboard and am hopeful that I have another buyer for the wired Mighty Mouse. The money I receive from both sales should cover the cost of one of the wireless devices.
