My wife has one from Walmart that runs her Shuttle PC and Mac Mini. It's version 2.0, I think. Got it for about $60. Newer versions are advertised to work PC/MAC, but some are not. I like her's because the mouse is symetrical, good for both of us who are righties but mouse left-handed. This new keyboard/mouse combo looks like rightie only. The action on these keyboards is good, the mouse tracks well, the buttons fall comfortably under the fingers. I especially like the wrist wrest and slightly ergonomic curve to the 'board. I was thinking about getting one last week, now I'll have to wait for this one!
