microsoft to comeout with new desktop

[TheReaperMan]

rip off of what??? there media centre keyboard???. as this looks like a updated version of that(which i have and its very good). This looks like a great keybaord but i would have to try it first and see how it feels etc. and also how much will it be etc???.

[KXH]

I can't wait to get one of these as i am not that pleased with the logitech G15 which i only bought for the backlighting. I wish i bought the Saitek, but it felt cheap when using it. Hopefully MS's can rock them both.

This would be microsoft's second Entertament keyboard. but the first to be used for any pc. not just a media center.

looks prety good in my opinion. might be pricy though, due to the bluetooth, backlit and the finish on the keyboard.

how about the battery life?

[Quick Shot]

Looks pretty good. The song got annoying though

:p I bobbed my head to it

wow another rip-off.yea it has a sleek design but thats about it.many keyboards are wire-less and are backlit.and that leaving the room crap is prolly fake.it'll just go2 sleep or something after a long-period of time of inactivity.

Dear Mr. Grinch,

You might slam this keyboard now but when it comes out and you'll see everyone around you buy it you'll get it to and by that time everyone will forget how you said it's a rip-off and you tell everyone.

"Hey look what I got. This is the best keyboard out there and in my opinion, EVERYONE should get it!"

Most likely, in order to compete with Logitech's Bluethoot Keyboard sets, its price range will be around US$189 - $299.00... I don't doubt it...

But I'm loving it already... :cry:

Are these prices that are coming from a source, or just a guess?

that's just a wild wild guess... comparing prices from Logitech's top of the line keyboards, I believe Microsoft would like to stand a chance wouldn't them...

[Mudcrutch]

interesting how laptop keyboards are designed to try to be more spacious and desktop-like --

with the popularity of laptops now desktop keyboards are being designed to look and feel more laptop-like.

:wacko:

oh man that is such a rip off, i mean look at the way the keys are arranged in the QWERTY layout, why can't M$ ever do anything original geez.

seriously though, nice looking keyboard :)

[OrganicPanda]

my keyboard knows when i leave the room, my toaster knows when i use the toilet, my pencil knows when i have a headache ... geez isn't technology just fantastic

[5Horizons]

That thing looks bad*ss, too bad I just bought a nice white logitech set for my iMac.

[balupton]

Eh where's it's numpad?

And i think the buttons on the left are a bad idea, i have a mx 1000 mouse, and hoekey, so i have a **** load of hotkeys on my mouse. So instead of the buttons on the left they should just have Spare1a, Spare1b, Spare2a, Spare2b, like buttons the size of the letter keys, on the left of tab, shift, caps, so then i can configure them myself, more buttons in a smaller space the better.

[icecaveman]

It's a Media Center keyboard! That's why there is no numpad, it's supposed to be used from you couch. I think it's safe to assume we will get another keyboard later with fingerprint reader and possibly other features too.

Mouse is Bluetooth, but I'm not sure about the Keyboard. I would definately buy it if both were Bluetooth and worked with Mac OS X (To complement a Macbook Pro).

They didn't show much of it in the flash so I took some screen shots:

Nice looking keyboard. But backlight isn't anything new. Logitech had it before, and the pro line of Mac laptops had that for quite a while, too.

But strictly desktop-talking, there's no Mac equivalent, and the Logitech keyboard has only partial backlight. Must give MS credit for that.

rip off of what exactly? so microsoft is copying the wireless keyboard and backlit, because someone else has already done it? then the entire world is a rip off.. skyscrapers are a rip off, it's already been done. AMD is a rip off of Intel, because it's a processor. Ever heard of healthy compitition?

Excellent grammar too (Y), mine not might be perfect, but it's still alot.better.then.talking.like.dis

:p I bobbed my head to it

he will too. Just like vista. He's either a microsoft-hater, a pirater of the software and most likely using Windows right now, or he's using a Mac, but i highly doubt it.

The price seems a little high for a guess, but Microsoft has done stranger things.

[Des429]

nice but since its wireless i wonder how long it will last with the backlight, thats got to use up a lot of battery power.

[Joni_78]

thats fugly keyboard.

[icecaveman]

Ofcourse the keyboard is bluetooth too! Don't be silly. They newer claimid it was the backlit, but it's the first wiress keyboard to feature backlight as Microsoft has been seriously improving battery life above everyone else.

I think its common sense that if they are sold together both will be Bluetooth.

Too bad noone has a release date for this.

crappiest intro i have ever seen. cool keyboard.

[ANova]

Where is this desktop that they speak of? I only see a keyboard.

[strekship]
