(First Look) - Microsoft is working to release a new keyboard and mouse duo that’s supposed to be far better than anything else we have seen so far in the market. And it appears as though, albeit initially, that Microsoft just may succeed in their aspiration. Scheduled for the September 2007 launch, the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 features a sleek layout with LED backlighting to enable you to see the keys in dull lighting conditions. That’s not all. The keys are motion sensitive and light up only when you are at the PC, and obviously the lighting (from least vibrant to most vibrant) is sensitive to room lighting as well. Media Control and "My Favorites" hot keys are available on the keyboard, in addition to a Windows Live Call Button, Gadgets Button (widgets for news, weather, slide shows and much more…) and a design that boasts comfort, especially with its Navigation Pad. Now, with the Navigation Pad, you can easily navigate to your media exclusively with the keyboard, thanks to an integrated cursor. Microsoft Entertainment Desktop 8000 The mouse is relatively interesting as well with its all aluminum body, laser engine, instant viewer and a magnifier. Perhaps what we really like about the mouse is the Intelligent Power System that is designed to adjust the battery life depending on the tasks; thereby, ensuring a long lasting battery performance. For instance, the 8000 mouse will consume more battery power in gaming vs. word processing sessions. Of course, the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 is wireless, based on the 2.4GHz Bluetooth technology and comes integrated with a battery life meter to warn you before the battery life is about to expire. For the price of $300, the duo is amazingly expensive, but the preliminary look of the product gives us some justification. As is the case with a lot of peripherals, the price should drop fairly soon after the initial launch. Click here to get the latest prices on Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000! |
