And it has USB ports on it. I dunno about controlling iTunes, but the Macally IceKey is supposed to be the best Mac keyboard ever. And it has USB ports on it.

Both were wireless and they were superb. After moving to Mac and trying the Mighty Mouse I quickly moved back to the Logitech mouse but stuck with the Apple keyboard. Logitech (for me anayway) make great mice unlike Apple whose mice for me have been poor. Looking at the Logitech site I can't see that particular model available anymore. It looks like the Desktop 5000 or 5500 (or 3200) has replaced it. For what it's worth I picked up the 5500 MX Revolutions mouse little brother (or sister) the VX Revolution. It's a great mouse for the laptop and I really like the ratchet scroll wheel that can swap to a free wheeling scroll for long scrolls. If I was buying a mouse today it would be the MX Revolution. One upside of getting a combo is you can use your old wireless mouse at work! However the keyboard looks large. And has a small display. Maybe a bit OTT. The older Logitech I had was big but the media buttons worked really well. One downside of the wireless keyboards is most don't offer USB ports. Maybe nest to buy keyboard and mouse separate? I'm stopping there as I'm NOT helping. I was using the Logitech MX-1000 Laser mouse and keyboard combination. Both were wireless and they were superb.
