Microsoft didn't announce much at CES last night but they have unveiled their latest mouse. Dubbed the Touch Mouse, this one will be battling against Apple's Magic Mouse in the world of mice. This mouse reportedly supports a bunch of different multitouch gestures like flicks, pinch-to-zoom, and panning. This will be available this June for $79.95.

We've been keeping our eye on Microsoft's Arc Touch Mouse since August and it's finally been spotted in their own retail stores (all seven of them). It's available right now for $60 so it might be a great present for someone. The design is quite nice and if you know someone who has the Arc Keyboard, this will match it.

Thanks to a German online store (here), we may have the first box shot (and first product shot) of the upcoming and long-rumoured Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse. Specs are unknown right now, but we should have them soon. Apparently, this mouse will cost €69.99 in Germany and will be shipping in 5 to 10 days unless Microsoft can stop them. Last time we heard about this mouse, it would have an MSRP of $70 and would be launching in September but that's unconfirmed.

Update: The product has been pulled from the online store.

Update: There's been another leak regarding the Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse, coming from Engadget. This time there's a photo below of a marketing shot of the mouse. Specs are still unknown so we'll have to wait for that soon.

Okay, so you just bought StarCraft II last week and you're having problems getting into Diamond. To get your APM up you may need something that Logitech has announced. The company has just announced the G700 gaming mouse, the G510 gaming keyboard, and the G930 wireless gaming headset which won't help you in any way. The G700 will feature 13 buttons with macro support, a dual-mode scroll wheel, and an optional plug-in USB cable so that can charge it and play at the same time.

Next up is the G510 keyboard which sports a small LCD display, 18 programmable keys with macro support, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and will recognize five simultaneous keypresses. Last, but not least, is the G930 headset which features 7.1-channel surround sound and three programmable shortcut keys. These are all available right now for $99.99 (here), $119.99 (here), and $159.99 (here), respectively. Okay, so maybe these peripherals would be better if you still played WoW.

Update: Engadget has just reviewed the G700 mouse and the G930 headset. They didn't get their fingers on the keyboard so you'll have to look elsewhere for that.

The picture above was leaked a couple of days ago by Microsoft and no one (besides the company) knows what it is. Some people think that it could be a WinPho 7 handset and some people believe it could [somehow] be the Arc Touch Mouse that has been rumoured for a while. The new Arc Touch Mouse will be Microsoft's version of the Apple Magic Mouse. Well, according to what's swirling around Microsoft plans to release the Arc Touch Mouse sometime next month (September) and it will hold an MSRP of $69.95 (just under $70). Hopefully someone from Microsoft mentions exactly what the image above is because everyone's dying to find out - hopefully it's not something that will let us all down.

A video has just shown up online of the new Microsoft concept mouses with multitouch gestures. There's a video below and fairly interesting. Maybe we'll see these get launched next year.

It looks like that rumoured iMac / Mac Mini / plastic MacBook refresh could be coming very, very soon. According to the latest rumour, Apple will be launching all of these new products on October 7th to 9th of this year. This means that we could see the refresh by the end of this week. Could it really be true? If this is true, I hope we'll also see the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse that just passed the FCC.

Logitech has just announced their latest gaming mouse, the G500, and their latest headset, the G330. The G500 will replace the Logitech G5 gaming mouse. It has a 5700dpi to accurately track your mouse movements and weighs 27g. It will be available this September for $70 USD.

Logitech also announced their G330 headset. This headset will be Mac and PC compatible and is expected to launch later this month for $50 USD. This headset has a different style, rocking the behind-the-head band to reduce the pressure on your head. It's definitely made for those long gaming nights.
