Microsoft has reportedly launched a new range of wireless input devices in India, with the intent of capturing the lost ground in the peripherals segment of computer hardware market. The new range of products include: Wireless Desktop 800, Wireless Mobile Mouse 1000 & Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500. Adopting an attractive lifestyle design and sleek form-factor, the new product range is projected to be a perfect blend of ergonomics and technology, while also boosting the user productivity requirements.

• Logitech unveils its latest wireless products, including...
• Windows Phone Tango to support 120 languages and C++ code
• Nokia and Microsoft unnecessarily defend Lumia 800

The BlueTrack technology incorporated specially into the Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 is reportedly designed for use on 40 different surfaces like a granite slab, an airport bench or a living room carpet. The BlueTrack technology apparently uses a blue beam of light which is four times wider than the normal optical beam. Hence, it illuminates a larger surface area resulting in more light to enter the sensor. Thereby, it even allows tracking on uneven surfaces like carpet where a smaller beam could get lost between two strands of fibers.
