Microsoft macks-out Vista ready hardware

by Ryan Carter on September 16, 2006 at 12:30 PM

Microsoft has just announced a bunch of new peripherals including an expensive ($250) wireless keyboard and mouse set due out in time for Vista. The set features Bluetooth connectivity (30 feet), back-lit keys, rechargeability and easy navigation buttons. There is a less-pricey version without the sexy trim for $150. This is part of Microsoft's plan to help users transition to Vista, by having the navigation options right on the keyboard. Also, just released from Microsoft are a new web cam, a new presentation mouse, and a new wireless gaming device. I can't wait to get my hands on the new hotness to test-drive it, but they don't come out until at least January next year, just in time for Vista's mainstream debut.
