Microsoft have announced their new keyboard and mouse set, the Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000, which bundles a “comfort curve” keyboard and their Wireless Mouse 5000. As well as promising reduced discomfort from regular use, the set include various Windows 7 features.
Those features include “Windows Flip”, which displays thumbnail previews of all open windows at the touch of a button, and Taskbar Favorites, which maps open apps to shortcut keys using the position that they’re on the taskbar rather than a preset order. There’s also compatibility with the new Device Stage peripheral manager in Windows 7.
Both the keyboard and mouse connect via a 2.4GHz USB dongle, with a quoted 30ft range. The keyboard has a soft-touch palm-rest, while the mouse uses rubber side grips and has an ambidextrous shape, together with BlueTrack technology for improved accuracy. The Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000 will go on sale later in August priced at $79.95.
