On the otherhand I'm one who finds the Apple aluminum keyboards
literally the best I've experienced. They have good tactile feedback
and are quiet, something important to me as I'm one who totally
dislikes a constant clickety-clack sound interrupting my thoughts while
typing.

The little pea would be fine if it would actually work, IMO. But it
tends to stick. I rather like the car-of-the-future, assuming you
mean the Magic Mouse. I wish there was a wired version.

As for the keyboards, it's been all downhill since the Saratoga.
