My roommate got one of these so he could sit on the couch and use his computer hooked up to his HDTV. Naturally I could not resist and had to play with it (it is odd when things like a keyboard start to seem like a toy). And I must say…this is the most amazing keyboard I have used for a Macintosh. The keyboard is super slim and very light to the touch, and the mouse is very accurate (it jumps around far less than the Apple Optical mice).



What most impressed me was the buttons on the far left & right of the keyboard. With the control panel that is installed with this keyboard you can set any one of the buttons to run an AppleScript or Automator workflow that has been saved as an application. Oh the possibilities! This is a major benefit to a company such as BIG Images where a single button on the keyboard can be programmed to send files to print, or initiate a pre-flight check, or update the FileMaker database based on the currently selected Finder items. As far as a tool to increase efficiency this keyboard is awesome. With a single click of the keyboard you can hide all open applications and open only those needed for a specific workflow. That side of me that seeks to be ever–more organized is seething in anticipation. Now I just have to buy one for myself.
