Tech_Dude_5000 Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 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.

ahhell Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 That would suck as a normal desktop keyboard as there is no number pad. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/474373-microsoft-to-comeout-with-new-desktop/#findComment-587653102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell-In-A-Handbasket Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 from the flash demo, seems on top of backlight, it also has light sensor ( auto backlight light ) and prolly motion sensor ( said it can tell when person leaves the room ) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/474373-microsoft-to-comeout-with-new-desktop/#findComment-587653114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecaveman Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 authentic metal finally I don't care how much it costs. And the backlight detecting if you leave the room? Now how would that work and I bet some people would think that's a privacy concern.

Tech_Dude_5000 Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 to bad it's missing the fingerpint reader I'm waiting for a Vista keyboard with Fingerprint reader well with vista being such a " Secure OS " you'll think they would have put a finger print reader on a vista keyboard. along with a number pad.

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted June 30, 2006 Global Moderator Share Posted June 30, 2006 Looks like...something else they've copied. care to share what they copied? or are you just bashing microsoft, because of who they are? It helps to back up your negative comments with some proof (Y)(Y) i'll just ignor your comment. this keyboard looks amazing, if the price is good, the feel is good, and it does what it says, i'm sold :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/474373-microsoft-to-comeout-with-new-desktop/#findComment-587654746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
callumy Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Damn nice looking keyboard. I wonder if this is the keyboard to go with Vista Ultimate! (It probably costs that much) Nice keyboard though, but shame about the number pad! It would be funny if they named it Keyboard Ulitmate to keep the same marketing idea going (Keyboard Business - has a number pad!; Keyboard Home Premium; Keyboard Starter Edition - has reduced set of keys! :p ) Cal Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/474373-microsoft-to-comeout-with-new-desktop/#findComment-587654904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shea J Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 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.

Vykranth Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Interesting but it really looks like an evolution of Remote Keyboard for Windows XP MCE. Now, if Microsoft hardware could make a more business oriented keyboard with the numeric pad too, Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/474373-microsoft-to-comeout-with-new-desktop/#findComment-587655670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
