Microsoft Shows New Windows 8 Compatible Hardware

Published on July 30, 2012 By Island Dog In Personal Computing

Microsoft announced a bunch of new Windows 8 compatible accessories today. These include several new mice and keyboards, all of which will work with current hardware along with the upcoming Microsoft Surface.

The Wedge Mobile Keyboard. Actually looks like a nice portable keyboard. Would be nice for the Surface or any other tablet PC.

The Wedge Touch Mouse. This is nice that it has no USB dongle, just Bluetooth. However, I’m not sure how comfortable that would be using.

Sculpt Touch Mouse. Sticking with the somewhat “normal” mouse design this has a four-way touch scroll strip. Very useful for navigating Metro on the desktop.

As to Microsoft keyboards and mice I have yet found anything that can beat them for durability, but that just me.

Not just you....I recently bought 2 more Intellimouse Explorers....the 'big' things that are more comfortable....model 1007.

The old one was getting old....the 'rubber' surfaces had gone a bit tacky.... and the new ones were half the price of the original at the time....

And I bought a second [spare] diNovo Edge [though that's Logitech]....again half the price of what it was....
