Microsoft Hardware rains down fiery peripheral death

As if to prove a point to their comrades in the Microsoft Windows division, Microsoft Hardware has just launched nine new peripherals to show 'em how its done. We won't trouble you with all nine products, but the four highlights of the launch are plenty to be getting on with. Pictured above is the new Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000, which claims to be the first wireless rechargeable backlit keyboard, and who are we to argue? The 'board features ambient and proximity sensing, while keeping it slim at a mere 1-inch thick, and it should be available next February for $250. Next up is the do-it-all Wireless Presenter Mouse 8000, which stuffs in slide presenter, laser pointer, media remote and laser mouse functionality into its meaty girth. The Bluetooth mouse should be out mid-October for about $100. Microsoft also has the new Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000, with high-def laz0r tracking and intense ergonomics, and the new LifeCam NX-6000 webcam, which features 7.6 megapixel stills and 2.0 megapixel video in a minuscule package. The cam should be out in November for $100, while the Laser Mouse 6000 should follow in January for $80. Now, if only we had a shiny new OS to use these with. Keep reading for more pics.

I have a Microsoft mouse, I have been using it for my design projects on many software, like photoshop, NX5, illustrator...it has good movements, good feel, easy to use...:) I am sure the product will be reliable and durable the most important aspects.

I love my ergo keyboard at work. Ergonomics is really important when you're in front of a computer all day. I need one of these for home!

That is an awesome looking keyboard. Looks like a comfortable fit. I havent tryed a wireless keyboard yet and probably should as I have some bad back problems and may help ease up the pain by using it on ones lap.I like the backlight idea too, sometimes I dont have the bright lights on. Lots of great information here.
