Microsoft today announced four new peripherals that are expected to debut between this month and next February for a variety of price points.

One of those peripherals is the company’s wireless laser rechargeable 8000 mouse. Too many features in a product name, don’t you think? It’s based on 2.4GHz Bluetooth wireless technology, has high definition laser technology, coated with brushed aluminum exterior and integrated with smart navigation features (whatever that means).

I almost forgot; the new line of peripherals is expected to enhance your Vista experience. Oh come on, you knew it was coming.

The wireless laser 8000 is expected to hit retail shelves sometime this month for $89.95.

The wireless laser desktop 6000 (keyboard and mouse duo) will also appear this month for $99.95. The keyboard is curvy, ergonomic (what company in its right mind would not claim that?) and comes with new tools to enhance your Windows experience. Note to Microsoft: this whole experience enhancing thing is starting to get old, and I haven’t even talked about the other peripherals yet.
