Mac Mini and Wireless PC Keyboard?

InsomniaCalls · 23 Jun 2007 at 18:36

Hi guys.

Looking to take the plunge and get a Mac Mini to hook up to the TV.
I don't much want to use a mouse and wires are a no-no.

I found the KeySonic ACK-540 keyboard and wondered if anyone knows if this will work with OS X?

TIA

Because I don't want to use a mouse.

Thanks

Does it have a scroll wheel or anything?
I don't have a table so I'm essentially after an all in one solution to sit on my knee.

If not, is it still easy to navigate or would a mouse be a must?

Yeah, that's pretty much my problem.

My PC keyboard has a scroll wheel and mouse buttons on it, in case the mouse is not to hand.
Looking for something similar to use with a Mac.

All good points. I hadn't actually thought about the VNC possibility.
I'll give a combination of the remote, my phone and VNC a go before I buy anything else.

Thanks people!

Thanks!

Just looking at prices for the Mac Mini.

The Intel Core Duo processor is obviously the best one out at the minute but some places are still selling the G4s for about half the price.

If I'm only using it for HTPC will I notice any major difference?
And is the remote a new thing or did it come with the G4 too?

I ended up with the 1.86Ghz Intel Duo w/ 2Gb RAM.
It's sweet
