You obviously use Windows (or maybe a Mac?) all day long. I don't. For me, the right third of the keyboard goes unused and just takes up desk space. If you want all that stuff, I'm not saying you can't have it, just that I'd like to have one. They're also of very high quality (I used them at LISA a few years back where they had them installed in an open lab).

Those original Apple USB keyboards were awful. No action and the horrible arrow keys. The mice were worse, though. (Did you ever see those clip-on things that folks were selling to make those mice actually fit your hand?) The new ones are fine. I'm not sure what kind of problem you have with those. I could be persuaded that the new mice are bad, too, but I've not used them much.
