YES, Microsoft is the biggest software company in the world but every now and then it dips its toes in hardware, most notably the Xbox and (less notably) its Zune mp3 player.
But I’m guessing, it still surprises some people that Microsoft makes mouse, keyboards and webcams.
Microsoft demonstrated some of the latest gadgets to come out of its pockets, including a Bluetrack-equipped mouse that can glide on any surface (except glass), a webcam that does more than show your face and one helluva keyboard intended for hardcore gamers.
Microsoft executives kept the lid on SRPs but forking some 5,000 pesos (or roughly $100) for a webcam, for example — in this era where even netbooks come ready with integrated cameras — could tickle the fancy of only the uber-gadget freaks.

Hi Christian,
Microsoft conducted exclusive demos for the press on these new products. These should be out in stores.
Cheers,
