Somewhat lost in the shuffle of Tuesday’s product announcements was news of the new wired keyboard Apple will bundle standard with all new iMacs, a compact design modeled after the aluminum wireless keyboard, which omits the numeric keypad traditionally found on the right side of the device.
The new keyboard requires Mac OS X 10.5.6, and features two onboard USB 2.0 ports.
It will be available as a separate item for $49, with the long-form wired keyboard also remaining available as an optional upgrade.
