Ooh!  Even more candy for the hardware junkie!  Enter the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000.

The ultimate rechargeable keyboard and mouse for Windows Vista™ and PC entertainment. Designed to make it easier than ever to control PC media from your desk, your lap–or even from the comfort of your couch.

The keyboard is backlit making it easier to see in the dark.  How many times have you been typing away and found yourself squinting at the keyboard not being able to find the right key… maybe you were at your desk… maybe you were in the family room using it for your Xbox 360 & Final Fantasy XI… maybe you’re a vampire.  Either way, this a a cool new keyboard for the night owl.

Like me.

There’s a "plate" that slides onto the top of the unit.  The plate allows you to place your mouse on the keyboard’s side – for those of you wondering how this was going to work on your lap.
