Sometime back Microsoft had announced Arc Mouse. The Mouse had curvy layout and also some extra features. And now Microsoft has added out Arc Keyboard. As the name suggests the keyboard is curvy in design. But that’s it. Like Arc Mouse the keyboard has no additional features.
The keyboard is 12 inches in length and 6inches wide. On top of that, it is wireless. More than the “arc” property, it is the wireless property which is interesting and useful about this Keyboard. The cost of Microfosft’s Arc Keyboard is$ 800.
There seems to be a lot of uniqueness in computer components. A few months ago Apple had declared its new Mouse- the Magic Mouse. The Magic Mouse doesn’t have any right or left click button. The full area on the mouse is clickable. You may choose to click anywhere on the mouse. Also, scrolling is supported by the pressure of your fingers. Yes, Apple’s Magic Mouse is a sense technology. To scroll, run down your fingers on the Mouse and the amount of scroll is based on the pressure of your fingers. Unusual.
Earlier in December, 2009, a miniature wireless keyboard with illumination properties was brought out. The Keyboard is portable(this is obvious from it being wireless) and then during the launch was priced$ 47.
Its Package contents are:
Wireless Illuminated Super Tiny Keyboard
USB Receiver

In May 2009, Google had started offering recycled mini keyboards for sale. The Mouse was made of recycled plastic material and, thus, was environment friendly. The Google recycled mini keyboards were priced$ 19. 20. Back then these keyboard were available in only two colors – Red and Blue.
So that makes it a pretty good list of innovative and different computer components. Lets’ see how many more such products will we get to use in future.
