Well you wouldn't want your Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 on its own now would you?

That's right, Microsoft is readying its Wireless Laser Keyboard 7000 to accompany the Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 that we covered earlier this month.

Submitted to the FCC a while back for wireless testing, this rather poor-quality image has now been made available for all to see:

Yeah we know, the picture doesn't look too great. But hold fire, that glow-like edge that you see around the keyboard isn't your imagination, that's a transparent frame, similar to the transparent windows you see in Microsoft's Vista operating system. Continuing the Vista-love, Flip3D even gets its very own key, located next to the right Alt key. You never know, could come in handy - might even get people using Flip3D.

Microsoft hasn't yet officially announced the keyboard so an actual release date and pricing is anybody's guess. We hope they announce it soon though, and more importantly, we hope they provide some pictures that make the Wireless Laser "Aero" Keyboard 7000 look at least half decent.

Until reading this article i never new about the “Flip 3D” feature in Vista..

Just got to get out of the habit of Alt+Tab'ing now and Start+Tab'ing

:)
drawn to the “Laser” in its name… now a Laser mouse is pretty easy to define. its a mouse that uses an infrared laser diode for tracking… but a keyboard?

is it just a fancy name to get people to buy one to go with there laser mouse, or is there something really special about it?
Right now, my guess would just be fancy name. :embarrassed:
It does look really flippin ugly from that photo!
It's going to be hard to get that into the next match to try to distract/vaporise Ronaldo….
