Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse on FCC site
Posted by Jason Dunn in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 01:06 PM
This must be "Give marketing people trying to keep a product launch a secret an ulcer" week at the FCC - Sweetpete has reported to us that Microsoft has their Bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo in for FCC approval, and it seems that someone found them in that big ol' database. I'm really excited about the Bluetooth hardware (wires suck), but disappointed to see a straight keyboard design - I hope they released a split "natural" style keyboard soon after this standard one. I can't type on those freaky "normal" keyboards any more. The mouse looks good though, so I may get one and simply not use the keyboard. Since I've heard this product will also ship with a Bluetooth "hub", this is good news for those of you who want to sync with your PC sans wires. Here's a picture of the keyboard I cleaned up (I swear, they make those photos look horrible on purpose):
You can check out the PDF of the mouse, or look at the back of the keyboard. So what do you think? Something you'll buy?
