With technology constantly marching forward it, is very easy for us computer geeks to get lost in 3+GHz processors, Gigabytes of RAM, huge hard drives, and the like. This being the case, many of us overlook the components of the computer that we use the most, the keyboard and mouse. Geeks.com has sent us something that might change all that, the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000. This combo consists of a Wireless Comfort Keyboard and a Wireless Laser 6000 mouse.


Now anyone who has ever turned on a computer knows the name "Microsoft", and although they tend to take a hard knock many times for their Operating Systems most people hold their hardware in high regard. I have used several Microsoft keyboards and mice over the years and have been very pleased with them (with the exception of one of their original wireless mice). So let's get to it and see how the Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 performs, and if Microsoft has improved on their wireless mouse performance.
