In an official blog post, Microsoft officially introduced the new Wedge Mobile Keyboard and Wedge Touch Mouse for Windows 8. Recent images were leaked to the internet showcasing these two new hardware companions for Windows 8, but now we get an official announcement.
“Microsoft Hardware is announcing new mice and keyboards that are designed to take advantage of Windows 8. These new mice and keyboards will help people interact with their Windows 8 PCs and devices.
