9. Apple's keyboards (especially the non-laptop ones) are worse...
The design is great for the Macbook pro... but otherwise it's a piece of tin with chiclets tacked on.

I too am a logitech fan. G9 mouse (no Mac driver yet, waaah) and a G11 keyboard (OH YEAH!!!!).

10. I have a Macbook
and I use a Logitech Bluetooth mouse. Best thing ever. But I've always used Logitechs when I've had desktops.

The keyboard on this isn't great, but I like the key rebound; it's a very smooth keyboard

13. That's what I thought at first too - if there's just one letter inside A and C, his
key-containing device is clearly screwed up...

12. couldbeworse.
couldbethatyourspacebarhasmalfunctioned...

You could try a bit of disassembly and clean up the keyboard. If it's a stuck key then prying it off and cleaning it should work, but if repeated bashing doesn't work then it's underneath disassembly and cleaning the contacts with an alcohol pad. However if it's under warranty take that sucker back.

Mark.
