Microsoft parades new mice and keyboards

Microsoft refreshed its mice and keyboard lineup on Wednesday, introducing three mice with a tilting wheel for horizontal scrolling and in new styles and colors, including black leather. Two of the mice are wireless and feature new battery-saving technology.

Microsoft gave a sneak preview of its mouse "Tilt Wheel Technology" last month. The wheel allows users to scroll left and right in addition to up and down without having to use the on-screen navigation bars, handy when navigating a spreadsheet or an unwieldy Web site. Users can also toggle between open windows by pressing down on the wheel.
