The Ultimate Keyboard From Microsoft

In a recent post, we brought you some pictures of new, ergonomic computer keyboards that bore little resemblance to anything like a typical, typewriter layout – but could make such work much easier on your fragile human hands and wrists.

As user friendly and ergonomically correct as many of those designs are, few of them will win any beauty contests. Microsoft‘s Ultimate Keyboard is an attempt to create a three-way marriage of performance, ergonomics and style. Their new wireless, rechargeable keyboard is admittedly, an attractive piece of hardware – very thin, with a sensuous curve with a burnished metal finish.

While that may attract a buyer’s eye, what will make him/her pull out the checkbook are the features, which are promising. The wireless keyboard has a 30-foot range and “smart” backlighting that adjusts to the lighting conditions in the room. Rumor has it that it “learns” your working preferences and automatically adjusts to them as well. And hopefully, that “sensuous curve” will be a little easier on the wrists.

No information was available as to the exact release date or retail price of The Ultimate Keyboard.
