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.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
