Microsoft Releasing SideWinder Keyboard in September?
Is Microsoft continuing their SideWinder brand revival—started with a mouse—with the release of a keyboard later this year? Perhaps, but this SideWinder X6 seems to be a pretty interesting keyboard in any case. It's got red (perhaps glowing?) keys, a detatchable num-pad, programmable buttons and TWO gigantic knobs on the right. We're thinking those knobs will be programmable as well, perhaps to cycle through your weapons or scroll through your iTunes playlist. We'll just have to wait until September to see whether or not this $79 keyboard really is the SideWinder. [Pcinpact via Engadget] -

Microsoft's Ergonomic Laser Keyboard 7000 Leaked Via FCC
Microsoft likes doing things in pairs, which is why they're on the verge of releasing this Wireless Laser Keyboard 7000 to go along with the Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 they announced a few weeks ago. It's pretty similar to other Microsoft ergonomic keyboards, except there's a neat glass frame around the edge of the entire board, along with a dedicated Flip 3D key (next to the ALT key to the right of the Space). If this feels as good as MS's older ergo-keyboards, we're in for three. [I Started Something] -

Kinda Rumor: Xbox 360 QWERTY Micro Keyboard
No comment on the photos. But you know what's absurd? When journalists who hold embargoed info pretend to not know a leak when they see it, or post it as a rumor instead. Let's call the Emperor a fat naked bastard, and not lie to readers. Again, no comment on the hardware above. More » -

Microsoft Goes WiLD with Wireless Laser Desktop 4000
Microsoft's traditional ergonomic keyboard design (as opposed to their slim Ultimate Wireless design) this Wireless Laser Desktop 4000 combines has both lasers and Vista buttons. We've used previous versions of this keyboard (the optical 3000) and love both the soft-ish keys and the spread-out ergonomics. More » -

But if you're looking for the top of the line—the real grandaddy of Microsoft keyboards—you're looking for the Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000, otherwise known (by Microsoft) as the Ultimate Keyboard.

Microsoft's Reclusa Gaming Keyboard Doesn't Read Fingerprints, Is Cool
Microsoft sent us an odd announcement pairing the Reclusa gaming keyboard with a fingerprint reader for Vista. I'm not sure why you'd need a fingerprint reader attached to a gaming keyboard. CSI: The Game? Police-state parental control? Two totally different products that don't work great together. The Reclusa has just about every other feature, so maybe they're throwing the fingerprint reader in just for kicks. Along with blue LED backlighting, two gold-plated USB ports, they keys have got latency-busting Hyperesponse Gaming Key Action. Pair it with the Linksys tattooed Wireless-N Router and you're all set. -

Microsoft Launches Wireless Keyboard and Mouse for Macs
Not much information on this yet, but we can't imagine this keyboard and mouse set is much different from the stuff they're already selling. The Wireless Laser Desktops consists of a Comfort Curve keyboard—for the carpal tunnel—and a blob mouse—also for the carpal tunnel, but maybe also for the warts—and is compatible with Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs—because USB swings both ways like that.

Microsoft NEK 4000 Review (Verdict: Takes Getting Used To, But Nice And Solid)
GearLive got their hands on Microsoft's brand new Natural Ergonomic keyboard, the Microsoft NEK 4000, and put up the first review of it we've seen on the 'net. The keyboard is split, much like its predecessors, but also has a front tilt plate so that the keyboard slopes downward (the tilt plate can also be removed or repositioned for an upward slope), earning it points for comfort. They found that some of the re-shaping of the middle keys near the split to be a little cumbersome (elongated middle keys, rounded edge to the 6 and 7), didn't quite like the quieter and laptop-esque feel of the keyboards, and thought the new zoom slider to be none too helpful. However, they did find the built of the keyboard to be nice and solid, and the multimedia keys actually proved useful. Together with its ergonomic feel, it earned an overall 8 out of 10. With a price of about $65, the NEK 4000 sounds like a pretty good deal for the Carpal Tunnel set.
