I don't like the curvey shape of it. But I've never used it before, or any "curvey" shaped keyboard before... so I don't know.

It looks pretty nice though.

So what makes this keyboard so "ultimate"? Well, if you take the already impressive featureset from the 7000—the wireless connectivity for mouse and keyboard, the impressive styling, the comfortable key placement, the extra media keys, and the rechargeable mouse—but add in a specialized magnetic dock and an even sexier aluminum finish, you're going to end up with one beautiful input device.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/peripherals/handson-with-microsofts-true-ultimate-keyboard-240761.php">It's fantastic. Best improvement on this keyboard is, without a doubt, the magnetic dock. It's similar to the dock used in the 7000, but now has a magnetic clasp to hook into the keyboard. That means now <I>both</I> the keyboard and the mouse are rechargeable <I>and</I> wireless. Just dock the keyboard, oh, every few months or so, and you'll never run out of juice. Even the laziest of us can do this, and trust us, we're pretty lazy.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/peripherals/handson-with-microsofts-true-ultimate-keyboard-240761.php">The great thing about this dock is that it doesn't just charge the keyboard, it's also got a built-in 4-port powered hub! </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DA582F56-D464-4D36-930B-BCD7FC5C84A5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
