Microsoft Optical Desktop Elite

Monday November 15, 2004
Microsoft
AUD
$300
Price at time of review.

Microsoft's hardware division pumps out some excellent keyboards and mice, and from the latest refresh of their range comes the evocatively named top-model Optical Desktop Elite for Bluetooth.

This isn't a cheap purchase at all, but it's perfect for pampering the mouse-jockey in your life.
