Logitech still Rules

Somehow or another I've always had Logitech keyboards and mice, and they have continued to be invaluable.
On the PC this isn't too surprising, but the trend has continued on the Mac, albeit a much taller order. Not even Logitech cater specifically to the Mac. The Wave keyboard in particular, is more Windows/MS orientated with "Word" and "Excel" program icons, vs generic or Mac orientated icons. Be that as it may, the Wave keyboard performs very well under OS X and is easy to customise.

Much to my dismay, Logitech Control Centre doesn't install on OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard. That is until I found this article. To my delight this procedure works fine, but there are some extra steps to make it work completely.
For some reason, Expose doesn't work by default. The easy workaround is to select "Key Click" for a button instead, and enter F9. If you have trouble doing this, because it activates the function, rather than record the F9 key, open System Preferences and temporarily unselect the function key. Assign it in Logitech Control Centre, then reenable it.

For many years I've been a trackball man. I own 5 Logitech Trackman Wheel devices, one of which is wireless.
Just recently I've been getting RSI in my thumb. To resolve this, I bought a Logitech MX Revolution mouse. Despite the fact this is by no means cheap, it's worth every cent. On the Mac it is outstanding. The thumb wheel can be assigned to move Spaces. The scrollwheel is quite a wonder. It has two modes of operation. One is freewheeling, with express scrolling through documents, the second accessible via scrollwheel click, is a line by line scroll with tactile feedback.

All 7 buttons are comfortably accessible, and highly programmable. Perhaps without the above work around under Snow Leopard, it would be a little handicapped, but coupled with the Control Centre, it's an absolute winner.
