Microsoft unveiled its first wired laser mouse, outfitted with enhanced gaming performance features as part of its new Game Precision Series. Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000 delivers maximum precision and superior control for work and play on the PC. Its ergonomic design provides outstanding comfort, and the advanced laser technology delivers superior accuracy and performance, making this mouse ideal for everyday use on a desktop.

Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000 has advanced software features that include a Precision Booster, enabling users to shift between ultrafast speed and precision control for targeting, and a Gaming Toggle that lets users easily switch between favorite weapons or program frequently used action sequences - all with the touch of a button.

The thin, flexible cord is great for agility and movement - the closest feeling to wireless while still having a wire. The scroll wheel with detents is great for desktop navigation and gaming, for amazingly accurate in-game weapons changing and scrolling. In addition, productivity-boosting features including a new Magnifier tool, for real-time enlargement and editing, deliver maximum efficiency on the PC.

Joining the Game Precision Series later this year will be the new Xbox 360TM Controller for Windows, a wired gaming controller that works with Windows XP-based PCs and the new Xbox 360 system to deliver a consistent gaming entertainment experience across Microsoft's gaming platforms.

The new Laser Mouse 6000 will be widely available by October 2005, and the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows will be widely available in November 2005 for the following estimated retail prices: Laser Mouse 6000: $54.95 and Xbox 360 Controller for Windows: $44.95.
