Best keyboards in the biz, baybee. It was worth

USB-PS/2 dobgle that really works so I can use one on my G5.
You have it working on your G5!?!? Of course I'm still running my
Apple Extended II Keyboard via a USB-ADB converter :^)
LOL! I did the exact same thing!
Something tells me that this is a fairly popular configuration with
long-time Mac users. I used the keyboard that came with my G4/450
AGP for exactly 3 days till I could get the converter. It was three
of the worst days of my life, as the original G4's shipped with that
pathetic keyboard that was on the original iMac's. I didn't even try
the keyboard that came with my G5, I simply set it aside. I do use
it now, but on my work laptop, and only then because I don't have a
better USB keyboard around.
Mice are where I've had real problems once I switched to Mac OS X.
First I was using a semi-acceptable mouse that shipped with HP
Itanium 2 Workstations, now I'm using an IBM optical mouse (seems
appropriate since I'm using my G5 keyboard on a Thinkpad). What I
really want is a mouse like the classic Logitech mouse that shipped
with most workstations in the late 90's. I've thought about getting
a PS/2-to-USB converter to try and hook one up, but have kind of
become hooked on the scroll-wheel for my Mac.
