Microsoft Releases Batch of Windows 8 Input Devices

jones_supa writes "To accompany Windows 8, Microsoft has released some interesting keyboard and mouse devices, all of which are wireless and use Bluetooth. The Wedge Touch Mouse is an artful product shaped as an angular wedge, being compact enough for travel too. Wedge Mobile Keyboard follows the style of laptop keyboards and includes a snap-on cover. Sculpt Touch Mouse is more like a classic mouse, but features a four-way touch-scroll strip. Finally, we have Sculpt Mobile Keyboard, which is a lighter version of a classic curved keyboard. All four are on the expensive side, but at first blush seem high-quality."

wireless needs batteries and can be issues in a big office full of them.
Not to worry, no one in a big office will be using Windows 8.

Indeed, ever since the GUI. The popular saying goes, "Microsoft's R&D lab is... Apple."
