Microsoft unveiled a new line consisting of six powerful High Definition products: five new mice and a cutting-edge High Definition Laser desktop. Whether at work, at home or on the go, users can now choose from this exclusive full suite of High Definition Optical and High Definition Laser mice for superior performance on the PC.

With 1,000 dpi (dots per inch), each of these High Definition mice delivers the right amount of responsiveness in relation to hand movement, requiring less hand motion in small spaces such as coffee tables or airplane trays.

Microsoft High Definition mice capture 6,000 FPS (frames per second) to accurately track hand movement to prevent stopping or skipping, even when moving very quickly. The engine operates at a higher processing power, enabling the mice to do more in less time.

Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000, Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 4000 and Notebook Optical Mouse 3000, make working and playing while on the go more enjoyable.

Microsoft's first laser notebook mouse on the market, Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000, undeniably delivers more comfort, convenience and control than notebook touch pads and toggle sticks. Featuring High Definition Laser Technology, a snap-in USB receiver and an average of more than six months of battery life on just one battery, this mouse is sure to work anytime, wherever you are. Designed by in-house ergonomists, this mouse features a comfortable, ambidextrous design with rubber sides and finger grooves that makes computing on the PC more enjoyable.

Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 4000, an ergonomic and eye-catching wireless mouse, and Notebook Optical Mouse 3000, a wired, athletic-design-inspired mouse, are equipped with High Definition Optical Technology for greater precision and control. Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 is outfitted with High Definition Laser Technology and smart navigation features, delivering the ultimate in cutting-edge performance, comfort and style.

Smart features such as the new Magnifier tool and Tilt Wheel on the included laser mouse, along with a Zoom Slider, My Favorites Keys and customizable Hot Keys on the keyboard, make accessing and viewing documents, spreadsheets and images on a PC easier than ever. The Comfort Curve Keyboard features keys angled at 6 degrees that intuitively encourage natural hand and wrist alignment, in an easy-to-use layout for enhanced comfort and productivity.

Also, Microsoft is introducing a new desktop mouse, Wireless Laser Mouse 6000, and is reintroducing its hugely popular Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer as Wireless Optical Mouse 5000.

This mouse features a Magnifier tool for real-time enlargement and editing of any section of the screen, a Tilt Wheel that makes navigating and viewing spreadsheets and documents easier, and a silver finish that makes it an appealing desktop addition.

Combining the popular ergonomic design of Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer, smart features including a new Magnifier tool and Tilt Wheel, and exclusive High Definition Optical Technology, Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 5000 now delivers more comfort and control on the desktop.
