'Ultimate', 'sexy' and 'love' are the describing words that Jason Chen from Gizmodo used in his news article. This Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 he is talking about really must have something.



You want to see more of this piece of technology made by Microsoft? Then look at the gallery he created with lots and lots of pictures.

This actually looks cool, and I like the low laptop style keys. Too bad it's wireless.

I am using a low-key laptop style keyboard myself (and it's cheap, too): Logitech Ultra-X. The Microsoft one looks ok, but if there's no version with a numpad, it's not for me. I am using the numpad regulary and I would also like the other keys to be where they belong...

I too also have the same keyboard, and if I may add there very good and comfotable to use. Makes typing very easy.

However that keyboard does look very nice indeed.

Also I love my Microsoft Intelli Explorer 3.0 mouse [new one]. Had the original and bought this new one with improved sensor., and I can recomend it to anyone.

Benchmark Scores I'm too lazy to benchmark anything.
I don't like keyboards that do stuff. I have a mouse. If I want to use it a media center, I get a remote. I honestly think it looks disgusting, BUT I do like the curve it has to it, and the low keys.
