You do know that they have been out for a fairly long time now. i remember reading about those over half a year ago. you think that is bad wait until you see what microsoft has planned for those keyboards.

I think I've read that fingerprint thingie has been used for some time now. This is the first time I see it is used on keyboards.

These things have been around for ages as portable USB devices. Personally I've always used Logitech Keyboards and mice so the portable version is not only more user friendly as you can use it on multiple machines, but also costs a fraction of the price!
