New hybrid mouse delivers desktop mouse comfort with notebook mouse portability; rechargeable mouse offers high-end technology at affordable price point.

Microsoft today added two new desktop mice to its line of award-winning input devices with the new Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 and Wireless Laser Mouse 7000, giving consumers more choice and flexibility in their computing experience. The Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 debuts a new desktop mouse design, combining a full-size mouse for supreme comfort with a portable snap-in transceiver for easy mobility. Microsoft also announced the Wireless Laser Mouse 7000, offering top-notch technology and recharging at an affordable price point. Both mice come packed with high-end technology features in sleek designs to deliver supreme performance and comfort.

The Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 offers a unique concept in computer
peripherals, blurring the lines between desktop and notebook mice by
creating a full-size mouse with a portable snap-in transceiver for easy
storage and mobility. With more than one-third of consumers buying
full-sized desktop mice for their notebook computers, this mouse
delivers on a growing computing need: moving easily from on the desk to on the go, without compromising on size and comfort.

Microsoft offers a stylish, rechargeable mouse at an affordable price
with the Wireless Laser Mouse 7000, joining the company’s line of
rechargeable input devices that includes the Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000, Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 and Mobile Memory Mouse 8000. By  choosing a rechargeable mouse, users can reduce their battery consumption by up to 80 percent over three years of use. The horizontal charging station provides a sturdy base, and the battery status indicator lets users know when it is time to charge. The Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 also offers high-end design elements, a mini transceiver and an ergonomic shape for hours of comfortable use.

The Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 and Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 feature
advanced wireless technology using 2.4GHz frequency. Benefits include the
following:

• Confident connection with virtually no interference. Intelligent technology “hops” frequency when it encounters interference, making it ideal for crowded wireless environments with multiple computers.
• Wireless freedom. Users can sit back and click up to 30 feet away from the transceiver, even if it is out of sight.
• Easy setup and use. Users can just plug in the transceiver and start working.

Both mice feature Microsoft’s High Definition Laser Technology, which
delivers unprecedented advantages with improved responsiveness, greater
precision and smoother tracking. The new Microsoft mice also offer these
dynamic productivity features:

• Smart software connection. One click of the wheel provides instant access to the Windows Vista Flip 3D feature, letting users flip through open windows and quickly switch between applications for added productivity.
• Magnifier tool and Tilt Wheel. Users can perform popular commands with a single touch.

The Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 and Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 will be
widely available in March 2008 for an estimated retail price of $49.95 and
$69.95 (U.S.), respectively. These mice are available now for pre-sale
on Amazon.com and will ship in March, when they are widely released. More
