Is it the same as 'Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop for Mac' ? If it is not, you should try this one.

The Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop for Mac features Microsoft's first keyboard designed specifically for the Mac. The key layout is consistent with Mac-only keyboards. To truly meet Mac users' needs, this is Microsoft's only keyboard without the Windows Start button. The Wireless Laser Desktop for Mac is compatible with the new Intel-based Mac machines as well as PowerPC models, and will have Hot Keys that map to Mac programs such as iTunes and iPhoto.

Hi Governa

Thanks for answering, yes it is the same except for the windows key the 6000 Laser is stocked at my local PC World store (in the UK) I have looked at various reviews but I was just wondering if anyone on the forum uses one and what they think of it.

I recently purchased this keyboard/mouse, and so far the only thing I have trouble with is that it doesn't have an eject button. And my G5 doesn't have a pinhole to eject manually, so the only way I can eject my CD drive is to hook up an apple keyboard from my co-workers computer. If anyone can enlighten me on an easier way, I would be most grateful. Maybe I'm overlooking something.
