Microsoft Intros Aero-styled Keyboards

Microsoft today hoped to translate the visuals of Windows Vista into a new pair of keyboard and mouse sets. Though they work with most USB-equipped computers, the Wireless Laser Desktop 7000 and the wired Digital Media Keyboard 3000 are styled after the Aero Glass interface found in Microsoft's own operating system and incorporate shortcuts designed for the platform. The 7000 includes shortcut keys for Favorites in Vista on the ergonomic keyboard itself along with a Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 that has a button usable for task switching through Flip 3D (also reusable in other operating systems). The Digital Media Keyboard 3000 also has media keys, image zoom, and a Flip 3D switcher along the edges. The premium Wireless Laser Desktop ships first in April for $130 and will be followed by the Digital Media Keyboard in June for $30.

I like the look of these keyboards, but I havn't been looking at many lately.

Now they need a matching Aero case, speaker system, and monitor :laugh:

I've been waiting to see a Flip-3D button on a KB or mouse since Vista came out, because most people have no clue how to use it, lol. It's abt time they put a dummy button on the KB and I actually like the idea of a button like that on the mouse; more practical.
