Now that it has pretty much been decided that we're going with the Mac Mini, I decided it was time to figure out which input device I am going to use. I think I have settled on the Logitech Dinovo Edge. It is a full keyboard with a touchpad, left and right mouse buttons and a dedicated volume control. Unfortunately there are no OSX drivers for it but I found a link on avsforum.com to a guy's blog who uses the Dinovo edge with his mini, http://5thirtyone.com/archives/751.
In his blog he states that the main problem is that it's a windows formated keyboard so your command and option keys will be swapped. Not to fear! I came across this Quick Tip on cnettv.com about remapping keys on a windows formated keyboard, cnettv.com clip.
Now the main issue is that this freakin keyboard lists for $199! Amazon has it listed at $157. However I think I may take my chances on ebay. I have seen a few "buy it now" listings for $129, albeit with the usual overpriced ebay shipping of $20. I think for something like this I would take a chance on an auction in the $60 - $80 range for a used version. I have seen a few auctions around that price range.
Edit: If I have to, I will settle for this.
