Microsoft's ergonomically alliterative Comfort Curve Keyboard makes a contoured comeback
Like a vinyl record left out in the sun too long, Microsoft's Comfort Curve Keyboard has returned, albeit slightly more warped than before. The ergonomic peripheral is an attempt to improve the comfort and posture of users who just don't go in for the split variety. The 3000 features uniformly-sized QWERTY keys, offering up a similar layout to traditional straight keyboards. You'll be able to get your fingers on the input device in August for $20, to see if the comfort does indeed match the curves.
Microsoft's new Wireless Laser Desktop 4000 for the Live and Vista types
Microsoft seems to have a keyboard / mouse bundle for every day of the week, but this Wireless Laser Desktop 4000 setup (the Wireless Optical Desktop 4000 is pictured) has some promising buttonry for making your Windows Vista and Windows Live experiences a bit easier. The bundle includes a Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 and a Comfort Curve keyboard, which features keys for zoom, favorites, Windows Gadget, Windows LiveCall and other hot keys. The mouse does the tilt wheel thing for four-way scrolling, and the pair will be retailing in April for $80.Update: Added the official Laser Desktop 4000 pic, see if you can spot the difference!

Microsoft's Wireless Laser Desktop for Mac
Proving that it still has (some) love for the fiercely-loyal army of Mac enthusiasts (especially the dual-booters), Microsoft has released its first Wireless Laser Desktop for Cupertino-created computers. This new keyboard and mouse set, which features a Comfort Curve ergonomic 'board and high-definition laser mouse, sounds almost identical to the company's Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 (pictured above) which was released last year for Windows machines, except for the addition of Mac-specific modifier and hot keys. Available immediately, this package will set you back $100.
