Microsoft unveils the Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000 keyboard and mouse

Microsoft has recently announced their latest keyboard and mouse set—the Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000.  Just to begin with, the new set is wireless, with both the keyboard and mouse using a shared USB 2.4GHz transceiver.

They keyboard itself, aside from being Windows 7 ready, has a Comfort Curve layout with a soft-touch palm rest and low-profile quiet touch keys. The mouse offers an ambidextrous friendly shape along with rubber side grips and uses Microsoft BlueTrack technology for tracking.

Now, getting back to the Windows 7 ready features, the keyboard has a feature called Taskbar Favorites that will give users an easy way to access and open their applications.  Other features specific for Windows 7 include Device Stage which gives the user easy access to common tasks as well as Windows Flip which will allow users to easily see a thumbnail preview of all open windows by pressing a single button.

The Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000 will retail for $80 when it hits stores later this month.  However, if for some reason you feel the need to rush out and purchase this now, it is currently available for pre-order though Amazon.
