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?

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?

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.

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

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.

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

Too bad noone has a release date for this.

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
