Microsoft Wireless Keyboard and Mouse for Mac

Just wanted to let all the MAC users out there, that the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard and Mouse set being sold at Apple stores does the system justice.

I’ve been using it for quite some time now, and a few people have been asking what keyboard I use and if I’ve bought the new flat keyboard Apple sells.

No, I haven’t switched over to that. As a designer and a developer, I need ergonomic tools to reduce the stress of typing and mousing throughout the day. A lot of people don’t really look much into ergonomics of their desk setting since they don’t work at a computer nearly as much as they would compared to designers or developers, but even for those who work 9 to 5’s at a desk need proper office ergonomics too.

Well, the Microsoft Comfort Keyboard was the answer to alleviating the stress on my wrists from the older MAC keyboard, and all though I love the Mighty Mouse, the Microsoft Mouse included with the keyboard is very comforable.

A few drawbacks are that it’s an RF signal, and a Bluetooth set would be much more efficient, but this will do for now. I haven’t seen any other keyboard that is as comfortable, so I’ll be sticking with it for now and also using my Tablet.

The set does use 2 AA batteries per unit, and you need to keep a clear area for the wireless receiver. I say use it and save your wrists from carpral tunnel.
