Wireless Desktop 8000 arrives

L1010266

Latest gadget in Clayton Towers - the Wireless Desktop 8000, so called as it has 8000 horsepower. Err, no that's not right. Anyway, who know's why it's called the 8000 but so far so good. It uses Bluetooth technology which I was a little worried about given our last Bluetooth keyboard disappointed me. What I really like though is it's thin, light and backlit. Yep, just like the MacBook Pro you may say but it works well as you can see above.

It seems to have made it past the gadget police but I'll report back as the week goes on but one thing I hadn't expected that is a nice touch is the w e

    do they finally have a manual available? I have the 7K(mouse stopped working along with keyboard trackpad..grrr) and I can not figure out how to send an "Escape" key press during gaming. Function keys also do not seem to do anything during gaming..pretty disappointed in it actually...

    very tempting Paul but I hear it would expose far too much of the curious things I tend to collect ;)

    Looks very nice, I'm looking for a Bluetooth keyboard myself, didn't find to many options which looked good compared to the Logitech diNovo Edge. But this looks like an option :)

    Can you comment on what the range of the keyboard/mouse is like? I am just about to install a Vista home premium PC in the living room which will be stuck out of site behind a big chair to function as a media centre. I will normally be sat about 10ft away from the PC, do you get a reliable signal from that distance?

    Nice one, have ordered it now.  Vista media center is working out amazingly well. 300 in HD/DTS is on the agenda for this evening!
