Default Re: Sod it buying a Mac now

I’m now thinking of investing in a wireless keyboard and mouse. The one I’m using at the mo is really cheap. It works fine but the mouse is just to small, doesn’t feel the same as all the other ones I’ve used. Do Apple make the full size keyboard wireless couldnt see any on eBay, they are all the ones with the numbers missing on the side. I used to use the numbers for short cuts when I had a PC

Well on the first gen one that I had, I didn’t support drawing. But just the main gestures.

I loved switching between workspaces with just a swipe, I had my edit on one workspace and the mixer on another.

You can also scroll the edit and mix window with the TP and a gesture

They have v2 but I don’t know about that one...but it supposedly does

Wireless keyboard, don’t believe Apple makes the wireless with the number Pad.

Think I’d have to demo one. Not to sure about giving up my mouse. Tried that with the Slate raven and even tough it didn’t work properly on my windows machine it still felt wrong compared to a mouse

Yes I works just like a mouse, but with zoom, scroll, and page gestures.

There are 2 finger 3 finger and 4 finger gestures

Not to mention pinch and expand

There should be some videos on it on YouTube if you have some time to search
