Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 [Microsoft's Latest Comfort Curve is Thinnest MS Keyboard to Date]

If you’re looking for a particularly sleek keyboard for use with your desktop or notebook which offers the convenience of wireless connectivity courtesy of Bluetooth as well as a standalone wireless number pad then Microsoft hope to tempt you with their latest Comfort Curve offering in the form of the Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000.

Designed with projections that ‘over 55 percent of notebook PCs will ship with Bluetooth by the end of 2010′ the newly announced Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000, which MS’s press release states is ‘just a few millimeters thicker than a AAA battery at the back’ in coming with the aforementioned separate wireless number pad is undoubtedly specifically suited to those working on notebooks/laptops that come sans integrated number pad and, interestingly, as well as being supplied bundled with the Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000, complete with carrying case, is also set to be made available as a separately purchasable item which is sure to draw in those into accounting and financial applications who need to be portable.

“The design tenets of compact, clean and refined really set the stage for the success of the keyboard,” said Chris Kujawski, industrial designer for Microsoft Hardware who introduced the Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000. “There is nothing extraneous about the design. We removed everything that didn’t fit with those ideas and ended up with something we’re really proud of – a compact, sophisticated keyboard that pairs perfectly with Bluetooth computers.”

The Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 is set to commence shipping from October and will set you back just shy of a pretty reasonable $45.
