    Folks,
    When I get my Mac mini, do you think I should for the wireless or the wired version of the mouse and keyboard?
    I've never had a wireless keyboard before, but I'm not sure I really see the point in them - I'm not going to be taking it away from the screen anyway.

    Is it worth the extra money? (£30 or so)

    Cheers,
    S.

    the plus for going for the BT Keyb & mouse is that you free up a USB on the mini but the downside is that there can be issues with delay, really only an issue if you are gaming alot.

    battery life is pretty good...would buy myself if didn't already have the wired keyb, not as much for distance from the screen but for clutter, something about a mess of cables just doesn't do it for me

    the wireless mopuse and keyboard works out more expensive than other mac on the mac mini and their is no blutooth bundle

    would advise getting the bluetooth module at least and the wireless keyboard , you won't like the apple mouse if you are used to a PC 2 button mouse with wheel

    The advantage of the wired keyboard is also that you have a usb post on the side to plud a usb mouse into ( be it apple or generic) ...only 2 usb ports on the back of the MAC mini

    I have a very nice Apple bluetooth mouse that I use with my ibook. The whole single button thing sucks for games though. I'd have picked up a different brand bluetooth mouse (you know, two buttons, scroll wheel?), but the price for them was teh steep.
