I absolutely >hated< both the mouse & keyboard supplied with my 
iMac--using the keyboard especially was wrecking my wrists. Replaced 
mouse with a Logitech optical model & the keyboard with a Kinesis 
Advantage ergonomic model. (Expensive, but relief to the wrists was 
immediate & well worth it.) So I am not using the same models you are. 
But my experience is that keyboard & mouse are not likely to present 
any special config problems--I just started using both as soon as the 
install process was complete.   Indeed, with the Kinesis, I had 
switched to the Dvorak layout on the Mac OSX side. When I started 
typing after installing YDL3.0, the Dvorak input was properly accepted 
with no further configuration needed from me.

Good luck.    --Harvey
