Microsoft introduces new range of inexpensive wireless input devices in India [price]
Microsoft has reportedly launched a new range of wireless input devices in India, with the intent of capturing the lost ground in the peripherals segment of computer hardware market. The new range of products include: Wireless Desktop 800, Wireless Mobile Mouse 1000 & Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500. Adopting an attractive lifestyle design and sleek form-factor, the new product range is projected to be a perfect blend of ergonomics and technology, while also boosting the user productivity requirements.
The BlueTrack technology incorporated specially into the Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 is reportedly designed for use on 40 different surfaces like a granite slab, an airport bench or a living room carpet. The BlueTrack technology apparently uses a blue beam of light which is four times wider than the normal optical beam. Hence, it illuminates a larger surface area resulting in more light to enter the sensor. Thereby, it even allows tracking on uneven surfaces like carpet where a smaller beam could get lost between two strands of fibers.
