Microsoft outs Bluetooth-enabled Sculpt Touch Mouse, matching Sculpt Mobile Keyboard

Lots of hardware news coming out of Microsoft today. No, not that kind of hardware; just a lot of mice (and keyboards, too). In addition to that spiffy Wedge mouse and keyboard, the company just announced two products as part of a new “Sculpt” line. First up, there’s the Sculpt Touch Mouse, which isn’t all that different from this, except it works over Bluetooth, as opposed to a USB dongle. Unlike last year’s Touch Mouse, which got a software update today, this doesn’t have a full touch surface so much as a touch strip, so complex three-fingered gestures are out. Still, you can use it to swipe up and down, and from side to side. And, like other products in Microsoft’s lineup, it has BlueTrack technology, which allows it to be used on almost any surface. Interestingly, you’ll need Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows RT to use it, meaning Vista users are outta luck. Meanwhile, the Sculpt Mobile Keyboard is similar to last year’s Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000, only this time around it has hotkeys specific to Windows 8. Both products will be available “soon,” and will retail for $49.95.
