I've been lusting after Apple's newish wireless keyboard for some time,
due to its small size. Only problem is that it connects via BlueTooth.
And the G5 I want to use it with predates that being standard.

Does anyone have comments on which adapter I could use, and how well
that works?

Thanks!

I've picked up a couple cheap ones and they both work fine on OSX. One
was a LinkSys and the other a NetGear.

I want that keyboard too, for my carputer.

I can't answer your question, but I have noticed that lots of Apple
users are attracted to back-lit keyboards. I wonder if that's
because it is so hard to touch type with Apple keyboards. I thought
my wife's year-old keyboard was tough - my new flat one is tougher for
someone who's been touch typing for four decades.

I like the backlighting on my MacBook Pro because it makes it easier
type in dim or no light. I can touch type fine, but not for things like
numbers and \.

The small keyboard isn't backlit, BTW.
