Today we are looking at the latest wireless mouse and keyboard desktop set from Microsoft. The set is called the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 7000 and features an Aero-esq design. Setting up the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 7000 is dead easy. All you need to do is plug the transceiver in and you are ready to work in a few minutes. The proprietary 2.4GHz technology used by Microsoft claims to frequency hop when it encounters interference and seems to work well. It seems to work well since I had no issues with interference in my testing despite a variety of Bluetooth devices and other wireless items in my home.

Notebook mice are getting more and more popular. They offer 100% of the functionality of a standard mouse, but have it all packed into a smaller package. In addition, seeing that most laptop buyers are consumers that like to be unplugged and free to roam (hence why you buy a laptop), it is only common sense that a wireless mouse would make a smart purchase.

We've already been told that it's coming "Zune" to Canada, but how does Microsoft's sophomore entry into the MP3 player market compare against the iPods of the world? I had the change to take the larger Zune 80GB out for a test drive and I have to admit that they have made some serious improvements over the first-generation Microsoft Zune.

To commemorate their 25th anniversary, Microsoft Hardware is turning full circle back to where it all began and unleashing a bevy of new mice into the peripheral marketplace. Today HardwareLogic gets hands-on with the Microsoft Laser Wireless Mouse 6000 (we'll be looking at the 7000 in the coming weeks). As the name implies, the 6000 sports a 2.4GHz wireless connection while adding a snap-in receiver, ergonomic right-handed design, High Definition Laser Technology, and other goodies culminating from 25 years experience. But unlike the 1980s, high tech rodents now litter the peripheral landscape. Can the 6000 hang with the best today has to offer?

Overall, I have to say that the Razer based Microsoft Reclusa is a solid constructed piece of computer hardware that should be permanently placed on your desktop for many years with little to no problems.

The Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 is not just another wireless mouse with a cool shiny design. Microsoft's 25th Hardware Anniversary model here sports some nifty features under the hood that will make you smile.

This wireless mouse is rechargeable and includes a charging base. The mouse also has shortcut buttons for Windows Vista. As with the 6000, when you accelerate the mouse pointer with the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 via the software you give up some accuracy for the sake of smaller hand movements. The scroll wheel is smooth scrolling and lacks any click. This makes it easier to scroll long pages by flicking the scroll wheel. However, I found that I hit the scroll wheel often be accident making the page jump around a bit.

Today we are looking at the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000. This mouse wraps some features normally seen on portable notebook mice into a desktop mouse. The scroll wheel on the Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 is very good. In fact the scroll wheel is almost as nice as the Logitech Revolution line. The only downside to some may be that the scroll wheel on the Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 doesn't click. No clicking does make it easy to flick the wheel for faster scrolling on long pages.

It is not often as a reviewer that I get to talk about something exciting in the optical mouse department. That has changed with the addition of the Microsft Sidewinder USB Gaming Mouse. This is the first mouse which features an LED display of the DPI setting on the mouse. Combine that with weight system and repaceable mouse feet and you have a first class mosuse.

This wonder mouse includes 1GB of flash memory so it doubles as a thumbdrive, and recharges through the USB port.

MS LifeCam VX-7000 USB webcam performs very well as a video conferencing and podcasting tool, and the tight integration between MS multimedia products is an excellent bonus. However, the blurry video capture at higher res makes an empty promise of high-definition video, making the VX-7000 a good camera, but not a great one.

I set out at the beginning of this article to replace my 14 month old gaming mouse. It seemed to me a bit of a risk to go with Microsoft over someone like Logitech or Razor, who arguably have more experience when it comes to gaming mice. In fact he mouse I was replacing was from one of the above mentioned companies (I'm not going to say who). at the end of the day the Sidewinder mouse really comes across as a solid mouse with an excellent feature set. Couple that with Microsoft support and you have a product that you can rely on for years to come. The ability to customize so much about the mouse means that it's practically guaranteed to work for you. Whether you like a feather light mouse or one that takes a bit of effort to move you're covered. If you want to be able to chain in game commands together with a single button your set. If you're basically looking for a quality gaming mouse, look no further the SideWinder is it.

The Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 looks like a mouse but functions as a hand-held presenter.
