We share our Christmas-like experience in opening a number of packages sent in from Microsoft. Oh joy!

Unboxing Part 1: Three Windows 8 Mice, One Keyboard : Read more

Makes me want to buy a 16 gig nexus 7

 

[ctbaars]

I want to know more ...

 

[vittau]

This mouse must be really comfortable. NOT.

 

[fb39ca4]

Oh look another keyboard and mouse that has nothing to do with Windows 8.

 

[captaincharisma]

wow the unboxing of a keyboard. toms have really outdone themselves this time

 

[nukemaster]

The keyboard is slick for something like a Media Center, but needs some kind of built in mouse/joystick.

Like this

Would be interesting to see one with a rear touch pad like PSP Vita.

Curse my too large hands. This looks perfect for school.

 

[lascar30]

Obvious troll is obvious.

 

[Blessedman]

haha I find the HP keyboard description funny. They really need a proof reader.

"OFN (Optical Finger Navigation) - Smooth and accurate pointing with advanced technology optical finger navigation that has no moving parts that can break and need cleaning."

Kewl keyboard though

 

[lpedraja2002]

I think this looks sleek and cool! But considering you're adding a keyboard and mouse to a tablet wouldn't that betray the whole notion of having a tablet in the first place since from my understanding it is supposed to separate itself from notebooks and laptops?

Still, I like how this looks.

 

[ojas]

Wouldn't you want to test on Win 8 instead of a Nexus 7?

 

[JOSHSKORN]

I'm sure that guy has a hand smaller than mine...which makes me that much less enthusiastic about buying that small keyboard.

 

[tupoun]

Do I see "iPhone" keyboard?

 

[SmaugTD]

Looks small and uncomfortable

 

[DroKing]

Wow.... They look too much like Apple's moronic simple designs. I hate windows 8 so you can go ahead and cram these back up places where sun doesnt shine.

 

[belardo]

So the apple-like packaging has the same value and costs as the products within?

 

[maigo]

Too bad Windows 8 isn't made for real computers, then this might be worth a chuckle.

 

[Guest]

Wait.. someone at Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to call a product a "Wedge"?

 

[demonhorde665]

UUUUGGG , both teh mouse and keybaord are

A) UGLY
B) look like they'd break if i sneezed on them
C) look like they were designed for baby hands
D) look like they'd givesome one carpal tunnel syndrome in 5 minutes flat
E) fit perfectly witht eh little baby toy advertising board that is windows 8



put all these together and you get .. a customer that will not ever consider buying these things

1. i'm a gamer
2. my key baord and mouse have to be able to take a bit of play (see 1)
3. i'm American , and i play bass guitar
4. my mouse and keyboard need to be big and fit my big hands with bug buttons (see 3)
5. my mouse and keyboard has to look half decent if not out right cool. these do not look cool


sorry MS no sale here.

 

[belardo]

These are made for tablets or phones... maybe certain TVs, nothing else.

 

[hetneo]

Does anyone beside me find it a bit ironic that MSFT makes GUI that has intention to kill mouse and keyboard and then produces mouse and keyboard for devices that were intended to be used without mouse and keyboard? I don't know what you people think but if MSFT was car company they would introduce cars with tracks, and then went on making tire chains that are to be mounted on little wheels that tracks run around.

 

[bulwark]

And just how much will these little gems set me back? Inquiring Google Wallets want to know....

 

[K2N hater]

The hardware is good. It's just the article that points the worst uses for them ever.
