Mac Computer Mouse

I received this fine keyboard and mouse and find both superb, especially given the ridiculously great price from B&H. Who ever heard of any good computer product for this price? But the problem for Mac users is that there are no usable function keys for all the special Mac functions: EXPOSE and others. After receiving this two days ago, I began using it heavily in my work as a visual artist. The keyboard performs great and so does the mouse. But when I realized I had no special function keys, I immediately called Kensington to see if there were some work-around ways to get those special Mac features. There are not, and the Kensington rep specifically told me they have no keyboards that will provide such Mac features. Instead of trying to return this to B&H, I decided to keep the set because I need a new wired mouse anyway. And a back-up keyboard is always a good idea if you use your computer for work. By the way, I ought to mention that I wanted wired everything because my beloved wife has electromagnetic hypersensitivity, and all wireless devices producing RF are grim for her. I have a special plastic covering the front of my iMac that reduces RF emissions to an extremely low level. So now the whole set-up is safe for her to be near, even though she cannot USE the computer herself. I have now ordered another keyboard from B&H (MAFK318B) that specifically states it supports all Mac function keys. I gave a five-star rating because of the quality of the set. I don't want its reputation downgraded just because it did not work in every way on my computer.

I switch between a Window 7, Windows XP, and Mac computer with no problems. Once I turned off the mouse emulation I was able to use MS Sidewinder. No problems with wired or wireless keyboard/mouse.

This review is for Logitech MX Master 3S for Mac Wireless Mouse. Out of the box, as expected, it easily paired with the Mac. And then after a press of the button on the bottom of the mouse, it took only seconds to pair the mouse with a PC as well. Supposedly, the mouse could be paired with a 3rd computer (the button on the bottom has 3 settings.) If you need to move the mouse between 2 computers frequently, you may find annoying having to flip the mouse over to push that button, and may have to weigh that against having 2 mice ( I need to move the mouse between the 2 computers very infrequently, so I much prefer having a single very good mouse.) Using this mouse, I can move the cursor on the screen in a much more precise way than I could with the apple mouse I got with the Mac. I have not yet tried to copy data on one computer and move it to the other computer, because I don't currently have the need, so I did not download the software required to do that. If you have small hands (ladies?), you may feel a bit uncomfortable using this mouse. It is much bigger/bulkier than the Apple, but I am very comfortable using it, so I am keeping the 5th star on the review.

I have a couple of these. My first computer was a Mac PowerBook with a trackball, and over the 20 years since then I have never learned to feel comfortable with a mouse. A trackball is so much more comfortable because you move only your fingers, not your hand. I've tried several different trackballs, and this one is the best, hands down. With the wrist rest extension, it feels completely natural under my hand. Moving the cursor around with the ball is effortless; scrolling with the scroll ring takes a little more getting used to. The 4 buttons are great; I have the top right programmed for Hit Return and the left for Back on the internet. Installing Kensington TrackBallWorks is a must for programming actions and adjusting speed of motion. I can't imagine anyone who's used this item ever using a mouse again. The only drawback is that it's a little big to carry around with a laptop. For out and about purposes, I'll use the trackpad for casual things, but for any serious work, the smaller and lighter 2-button Kensington Orbit Trackball with Scroll Ring is a quite acceptable substitute.

In spite of its shortcomings, the Magic Mouse is still the best Bluetooth mouse for the Mac.

Back up mac computer

This keyboard and mouse are very easy to use. After the MAC keyboard and mouse this is a dream to use.

Absolutely a nice mouse to match your mac

This mouse is very easy to use. I use it at home for my personal computer.

This IOGEAR GCS110-4 4-Port KVMP switch is my first purcahse of this type of gear...should have bought one years ago. I had checked out one of the other brands, but the manufacturer's web-site had the same photo and description for two models, very confusing. I am using this switch with three computer, Win7, Win8.1 and a Linux rig. I keep the fourth port open for testing other computers, no need to connect one being tested to a separate keyboard and mouse setup. This switch allows me to easily switch between computers via keyboard shortcuts. I have a Logitech Keyboard and Mouse which share a single wireless USB dongle, plugging the dongle into the keyboard USB port of the monitor area of the switch allows me to use the keyboard and mouse on all computers. I did have to uninstall the Logitech software which allowed for custom keyboard layout (volume up/down, next track, etc.) as it seemed to conflict with the way the KVMP switch emulated Keyboard and Mouse Control...not an issue for me in this case. I am not a hard-core gamer, thus do not have a mouse with 92 buttons on it..more of a FPS and Flight Sim guy here. I like the fact that I can switch the keyboard/mouse, Vidoe and USB separately from the audio, that is I can have music playing on one computer, switch the Keyboard/Mouse, Video, and USB to another computer and still hear the music from the first computer. I have all my external drives and printers connected directly to the Win7 computer working as a server for all my data. I have a USB hub connected to the KVMP input which is accessed by whichever computer I am using for such things as my web-cam, joystick, multimedia card reader, and ID CAC Card Reader. I started taking IT classes and now I can easily do remote access, learned how to access Windows Shared Folders from the Linux box...and more, having the computers side by side with one control system is a Godsend. I would recommend this switch to anyone considering such a purchase.
