Moshi Celesta - Moshi

When Apple unveiled the new, sleek, metallic iMacs recently, the company also redesigned the Apple Keyboard with an aluminum body and slimmer design. Our staff had mixed opinions on the revamped keyboard, the chief complaints being that it’s impossible to adjust the angle, and that the keys have spaces between them. Fortunately, the Moshi Celesta keyboard fixes both of these problems, and its handsome aluminum body is an almost-perfect match to the new iMacs as well as other aluminum Apple hardware... read more at MacLife

Tactile Pro 2.0 - Matias

Some old-school geeks love the clattering chaos of mechanical-switch keyboards, and the Tactile Pro 2.0 gives us those good vibrations. Each press of the Tactile Pro 2.0’s keys takes us back to a time before squishy rubber membrane keyboards. Unlike the vast majority of other keyboards - nearly all keyboards, aside from those on laptops, use that rubber membrane style - the Tactile Pro 2.0 has a spring inside each key and physical feedback... read more at MacLife

iMic - Griffin Technology

What’s your excuse for not digitizing your vinyl copy of Dark Side of the Moon? Wait, let us guess - you haven’t figured out how to connect your turntable to your Mac, huh? The red and white jacks from the turntable don’t match any ports on your Mac. What you need is an iMic. The iMic is handy for connecting a turntable, tape player, or any other audio device to your computer... read more at MacLife

USB-Rechargeable AA Batteries - USBCELL

Charging the USBCELL AA-size nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries ($19.95, www.usbcell.com) couldn't be easier: Pop off the green plastic cap (which stays attached via a short piece of durable fabric-covered elastic). Then plug each battery into an open USB port... read more at MacLife

RF Remote for Front Row - Keyspan

The Apple Remote is truly a simple, elegant device, but its use of infrared can be frustrating, since infrared requires a line of sight between the remote and the receiver. The RF Remote for Front Row uses radio frequency (RF) instead of infrared, so not only do you not need a line of sight... read more at MacLife

IncipioHitch USB Adapter for 2G iPod nano - Incipio

The Hitch is about the size of two quarters, with a USB connector on one end, and a cradle that contains a dock connector that lines up with the iPod nano's dock. The nano fits snugly, so although I don't have a first-gen nano on hand to test, I highly doubt you could cram one into the Hitch. Once the nano is in the Hitch, you can just plug it in to a free USB port... read more at MacLife

3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator - 3Dconnexion

Using a device like the SpaceNavigator is a much more efficient way to move through 3D worlds. There's no more clunky point, click, grab, pan, etc. You simply turn, press, pull, and tilt the SpaceNavigator - it doesn't sound easier, but it is. It takes some practice to learn the nuances of a navigational knob... read more at MacLife

Samson C03U Recording/Podcasting Pak - Samson

Every podcast recording begins with a microphone. The only reason that most Mac users haven't worried too much about the mic is because the built-in mics on iMacs, MacBooks, and MacBook Pros have worked just fine for most off-board uses. If you tried to record on a Mac notebook, however, you've no doubt noticed a few irksome issues: fan noise ... read more at MacLife

LightSnake Microphone-to-USB Cable - SoundTech

Podcasters hoping to record pro-level audio usually have to dish out pro-level dollars - a good XLR microphone requires an interface box to connect to your Mac, and that'll set you back at least $200.

iMage Webcam - Pico Instruments

The box for the iMage Webcam says it's "Truly Plug & Go," and Pico Instruments' website touts the iMage by explaining that "no device driver is required prior to use." The driver part is true, but the iMage isn't entirely a plug-and-play device. Still, the iMage is a nifty little alternative to the iSight ... read more at MacLife

Goldtouch Adjustable Keyboard - Key Ovation

Danger Mouse - MacMice

Apple’s introduction of the Mighty Mouse (3.5 mice) was a nod to what many Mac users have known for years: a mouse with scrolling capability and more than one button is a good thing. Although it’s cheaper and lacks a few of the Mighty Mouse’s features, the Danger Mouse USB Laser mouse from MacMice is similar in concept to the Mighty Mouse ... read more at Macworld

DeskSaver Companion keyboard and mouse - BenQ

BenQ’s compact DeskSaver Companion keyboard/mouse combination is designed for places where a standard keyboard and mouse won’t fit. At only 10.8 inches wide by 5.2 inches deep by 0.4 inches thick, the keyboard is among the smallest we’ve seen ... read more at Macworld

The Mouse BT II - MacMice

If you have a Mac with built-in Bluetooth and you’ve wondered about alternatives to the Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse (4 mice), you won’t find it in the Mouse BT II. While this mouse has some salient features, its $70 price tag makes it less compelling. Unlike the Wireless Mighty Mouse, which sports precise laser positioning, the Mouse BT II is based on older optical technology. And thus, it should be less expensive ... read more at Macworld

Evoluent Mouse-Friendly Keyboard - Evoluent

Evoluent’s Mouse-Friendly Keyboard layout is unlike any other I’ve seen: the numeric keypad is on the left instead of the right.

Adesso Mac Slimmedia Mini Keyboard - Adesso

Adesso’s Slimmedia Mini Keyboard offers full-size keys in a standard layout, despite being several inches narrower (just over 15 inches wide) than a traditional full-size keyboard.

RadTech BT600 Wireless Desktop Mouse - RadTech

The RadTech BT600 does most things right. Thanks to a Bluetooth connection, this wireless mouse won’t take up a USB port, and it should be largely free of interference from other wireless devices.

CyberTablet 8600 - Adesso

The CyberTablet 8600 doesn’t look out of place next to most Macs. But beyond that visual parity, the only reason you’d want the 8600 over a similarly sized Wacom Graphire4 (Jan/06, p48) is that the 8600 costs half as much. Otherwise, you’ll make some significant sacrifices ... read more at MacAddict

OS X Keyboard - Matias

Matias’s OS X Keyboard may feel lightweight, and it won’t win beauty contests, but there’s one compelling reason why you ought to consider this keyboard: It has the extended Mac characters printed on its keys.

Graphire4 4x5 - Wacom

Remember the Koala Pad for the Commodore 64? That crude but charming digital art tablet was about as futuristic as it got for legions of aspiring young designers, offering them unheralded freehand freedom in creating digital canvases rendered in all their 16-color glory. Around five years ago, tablets for Macs started appearing on those same forward-thinking designers' desks ... read more at macHOME

X-Arcade Trackball Mouse - X-Arcade

Before there were computers and game consoles in almost every home, we damaged our wrists playing games the old fashioned way—at the arcade.

BTMicro - Macally

Sure, the updated scrolling capabilities on the new PowerBooks (see Reviews, May/05, p38) help make using a trackpad more bearable, but it's hard to beat an actual mouse; that's why there are so many mini mice on the market. Now there's another mouse joining the fray: Macally's BTMicro, a Bluetooth mouse that runs on rechargeable batteries. While it may be too small for big hands, it's a nice lil' mouse that you can stash in your PowerBook case ... read more at MacAddict

VerticalMouse 2 - Evoluent

Your typical mouse is designed for horizontal use; the buttons and body are crafted based on the notion that you hold a mouse with your palm facing down. Evoluent says this is an unnatural, twisted, and tense position for your arm—sooner or later, you're bound to feel uncomfortable. Evoluent's VerticalMouse 2 puts your arm in a more natural position by using an unusual vertical design ... read more at MacAddict

The Mouse BT - MacMice

Some of us here at MacAddict enjoyed using The Mouse BT; others didn't like the feel—it's a lot like Apple's wireless mouse, only with two buttons instead of one. The scroll wheel is delightfully smooth, but if you like scroll-wheel notches, know that the BT doesn't have 'em ... read more at MacAddict

Bluetooth Mini Mouse - Iogear

Iogear’s Bluetooth Mini Mouse has a lot to offer: 800-dpi tracking for precision control (handy for you gamers), a wide range (Iogear claims 66 feet; we didn't get such distance, but we did get a good 20 to 30 feet with furniture in the way), and a tiny design. The Mini Mouse’s size, however, may be the deciding factor for you—it’s either waaay too small for your big mitts, or you're fine with it ... read more at MacAddict
