Alternative USB Keyboards for Mac

[CaptainKahuna]

Though I'm a die hard Mac fanboy, the one Apple product I'm not in love with is the keyboard that came with my iMac. I prefer a bit more action in the keys and tactile definition. Is anyone using an alternative USB keyboard that's made for Mac?

I've used Windows keyboards with my Mac before and I know they'll work, but there is something that just doesn't feel quite right about using "Alt" in place of "Command", etc. There are a few little differences (icons on the function keys, etc) that make Mac keyboards feel like they are one with the OS. So I was hoping I could find something non-Apple that was made for Mac.

Any suggestions AT?

MacAlly, Logitech and even Microsoft make Mac specific keyboards. There are others of course, but those would probably be the big three.

OP, I would be more than willing to take that keyboard off your hands, im just a nice guy like that.

If your after a iMac keyboard alternative, it would be hard to past by the Logitec diNovo Keyboard. These keyboards were specifically designed for Mac, so they don't look out of place and I've got to admit Logitech's design team did an outstanding job in trying to design an alternative keyboard for the iMac.

You can also get one with a trackpad built into it, just like Apple's Magic Trackpad.

Here's the link to the product:

Only downside is it's wireless.

The Magic trackpad is something like 5"*6", the trackpad on the dinovo edge is what.... 2"*2"? It is nothing like the Magic Trackpad.

Not discounting the Edge, I have played with them in stores and really liked them, but the price tag has always turned me off. It is a great looking and great feeling keyboard, just don't try and say that the little tracking circle on there is at all like the Magic Trackpad.

However, looking at the link you provided I don't see a trackpad at all anyway.
