Just to clarify: that’s not one individual mouse – such as a cheeky, fun-loving rodent inhabiting said analyst’s house, much to the annoyance of his hapless, accident-prone cat. No he’s talking about the humble computer mouse, invented back in 1963 by Douglas Engelbart and probably now attached to over a billion personal computers even as I type this.

New Windows meant new law suits fancy functions which I’ll begrudgingly admit that while being a massive drain on the system do look rather snazzy.

Naturally you’ll want a keyboard and mouse that complement this sleek design and so Microsoft is providing the goods with the latest Wireless Laser Desktop 7000. The keyboard part is an ultrathin Comfort Curve design (read: the keys are aligned in a sort of bend). It’s a 2.4GHz wireless model and comes with the already available 7000 wireless rechargeable mouse.
