You're drunk Microsoft, go home. But it's not a horrible idea at least...

Great. Now I can hit THAT windows key instead of the one on my keyboard. I'll probably be hitting it all the time when I'm gaming and then throw the mouse out of the window. No thanks MS.

Does it require an always-on camera that can see in the dark to function?

As you need that key for shortcuts and it's used quite a lot in Win8, this sounds like a nice idea. If you are a hardcore gamer you would not be looking this kind of mouse anyways. Hitting Windows key on keyboard by accident while gaming... I still have not pressed it by accident with my SteelSeries 7G, hehe 🙂 Would be nice to see a mice from MS which would compete with the VM4 from Evoluent... http://www.evoluent.com/vm4r.htm I would be interested in that.

bad positioning on the sculpt comfort mouse.... My thumb would be resting on that spot....

Isn´t the windows key on the keyboard supposed to do that?

They think we're too stupid to notice or "get" their new interface.

My Arvo has a feature in it's software to disable the win keys. I have the left side win key disabled as it's the only one I've ever hit on accident.

Microsoft has updated their software to take full advantage of the Sculpt Mobile Mouse and Microsoft Keyboards for Windows 8. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/downloads/mouse-keyboard-center Looks like it's the same file for Windows 7 as well. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/sculpt-touch-mouse

What happens when you use it in Windows 8? Brings out the missing start button? 😀
