I’ve been using Logitech’s latest Cordless Desktop offering for a couple weeks now at work and have been very happy.

The keyboard is awesome, it’s the first keyboard that I’ve ever actually made use of the media keys (primarily for controlling iTunes).  Nice layout and quite comfortable for coding, a little clicky perhaps but I personally don’t mind that and with headphones it’s unnoticeable.  If you’re like me and used Microsoft keyboards in the past and still haven’t quite gotten used to the Fn key on the Mac, I highly recommend this keyboard.

As for the mouse, I actually still prefer a Mighty Mouse for general comfort and aesthetics but the Logitech isn’t too bad either (it’s very similar to traditional PC mice). 

Lastly, I’d like to throw a shout out regarding iStat menus.  It provides the same basic system information but instead of being displayed on your desktop or dashboard, it’s viewable in your menu bar.
