Soon-to-be Switcher

Hello! I will soon be ordering my very first Mac...a shiny, new iMac! I have just one quick question. Can I use my existing Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard? I've tried the tiny little iMac keyboard and am not crazy about it. Long fingernails and tiny keyboard do not play well together. I also thought about the wired keyboard with number keypad as I do use this quite a bit, but can't really tell if the keyboard part is larger than the wireless version. Any insight? Thanks!!

Yes, you can use any Bluetooth or USB keyboard and mouse...

You may want to try the magic mouse though, unless you ordered the trackpad. Either way, you'll lose gestures without them. I tried a magic mouse when they first came out and immediately bought one for myself. Not everybody likes them, so try it yourself.

Thanks for the input. I don't have a problem with the mouse, although I will probably order the trackpad. It's just the keyboard that I think would be very difficult to adjust to. As long as I can use a USB keyboard, I'll be a happy camper!

good luck with your purchase and feel free to come back with more questions once you start using your mac...

The keyboard should be basically standard layout what is deceiving is no excess around the Apple keyboard and lack of number pad unless you opt for the wired one.

Don't forget about the keyboard layout and special keys like Command and fn.

Didn't like the magic mouse, and Trackpad did not allow me to be precise enough. Now I use both a Logitech mouse and a Trackpad on my iMac.

In order to make use of the gestures Lion provides a Magic Mouse or TrackPad will have to used my personal preference would be a TrackPad once you acclimate to it going back to a mouse seems slow or to me anyway besides you can have both.
