What owners report

  • “[...] For fifteen years now I’ve typed on a macbook keyboard (tethered to a big display 90% of the time) which I’ve never bothered to upgrade from. [...] A constant mix of the trackpad, Apple magic mouse (!) and Wacom tablet for input. Haven’t experienced any ergonomics issues whatsoever.”

  • “[...] In my case, I put an apple magic mouse scrollball between Esc and F1 on a keyboard a decade ago, and still use this. (google apple scroll ball keyboard if interested) (A recent oddity I noticed is that Firefox ignores up/down scroll if mouse isn't over the window, but side-to-side scroll still works.)”
