Hands-on with Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 v3動手與微軟無線激光桌面6000 v3

Under normal circumstances, it would be silly to give a new product with improved features and a strikingly new design the same product name as the previous version, but we’ve come to learn Microsoft’s marketing department is在正常情況下,這將是愚蠢的,給出了一種新的產品與改進的功能和驚人的新的設計相同的產品名稱作為以前的版本,但我們是來學習微軟的營銷部門 hardly normal幾乎正常 . 。 In short, consider this as the總之,考慮以此為 Wireless Laser Desktop 6500無線激光桌面6500 if you may, Microsoft took an already awesome wireless keyboard and wireless laser mouse set and made it even better.如果你可以,微軟已經採取了可怕的無線鍵盤和無線激光鼠標設置並使其更臻完善。
As a side note, it’s somewhat unfortunate that I had go through two sets of the Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 v2 to get to play with this - both of which suffered hardware malfunctions after 12 months of pretty intensive use (FPS gaming) - but I guess this is a good opportunity brag about the作為附帶說明,這是有點遺憾的是,我通過兩套無線激光桌面6000 v2的去發揮本-兩者都受到硬件故障的1 2個月後的相當密集使用( F PS遊戲的遊戲) -但我想這是一個很好的機會炫耀的 three-year warranty三年保修 and no-questions-asked support reps at Microsoft.沒問題,要求支持代表在微軟。

With all the attention that’s placed on product packaging these days, Microsoft Hardware has really shined with their widespread adoption of與所有關注的放在產品包裝這些天,微軟硬件確實閃耀著與他們廣泛採用 clamshell packaging翻蓋包裝 . 。 Compared to the相比 previous version以前的版本 where you could just fit a hand on the window, even ogre hands can get in there now.你可以在剛剛適合一隻手的窗口,甚至怪物的手能在現在。 Sure you can read all the reviews about comfort and fit but nothing beats trying it out for yourself.當然你可以閱讀所有有關的評語舒適度和適當的,但沒有什麼比它試圖為自己。

As the name suggests, the keyboard and mouse both use wireless 2.4GHz for connectivity.顧名思義,鍵盤和鼠標都使用的2.4GHz無線連接。 Having just played with the剛剛打的 Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000微軟無線娛樂桌面7000 for a couple days which uses對於幾天使用 Bluetooth藍牙 for connectivity, I can now safely say traditional wireless beats Bluetooth for ease-of-configuration, range and performance.連接,我現在可以有把握地說比傳統的無線藍牙的易用性和配置,範圍和性能。 (And I say that having experienced countless unnecessary deaths in (我說,在經歷了無數不必要的死亡 Team Fortress 2團隊要塞2 .) 。 )
Whereas a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse took a good few minutes to connect and configure with software, wireless is as simple as pretty a button on the transceiver and a button on the mouse.雖然藍牙鍵盤和鼠標了一個良好的幾分鐘內連接和配置的軟件,無線很簡單,只要一個按鈕,漂亮的收發器和一個按鈕的鼠標。 Bluetooth range lasted me no more than 2 meters for any practical use, where as wireless is at least double that.藍牙的範圍我持續不超過2米的任何實際用途,其中無線至少是兩倍。 Speaking as an avid online FPS gamer, Bluetooth had a small but impacting delay and jitter in online games whereas wireless is as instant as wired and smooth as butter.他作為一個狂熱的在線FPS遊戲的玩家,藍牙有一個規模雖小但影響延遲和抖動的在線遊戲,而無線是即時有線和順利的黃油。
Admittedly I was skeptical to find that Microsoft replaced the older transceiver base which had a long cable that could sit away from your PC case with a self-contained USB dongle, mostly because I don’t think the thick metal box otherwise known as the computer case is the best thing to stick a transceiver behind, but that’s not the case.誠然,我懷疑地發現,微軟取代了舊收發器基地,有很長的電纜,並且可以坐在離你的電腦情況自我載的USB加密狗,主要是因為我不認為厚的金屬盒也被稱為計算機案例是最好的事情堅持一收發落後,但並非如此。 Having used both variants, I notice no performance degradation with the new dongle.在使用這兩個變量,我沒有任何通知的性能退化與新的加密狗。

One reason they’ve switched to these dongles is so that you can place the dongle underneath the mouse and take it with you.原因之一,他們已經切換到這些狗是這樣您就可以把加密狗下鼠標,是否可以與您聯繫。 I’m not sure how other users of that PC might feel when they discover that the mouse is missing and they can’t use the keyboard either, but it’sa neat idea to give laptop users the choice.我不知道如何其他用戶的電腦可能會當他們發現,小鼠是失踪者和他們不能使用鍵盤要么,但是這是整潔的想法使筆記本電腦用戶的選擇。

Another highlight of this keyboard is the “Windows Vista Aero-inspired” border which wraps around the whole device.另一個突出的鍵盤是“ Windows Vista中的Aero啟發”邊界環繞整個裝置。 To be perfectly honest, it’sa nice touch but nothing to brag about since it’s pretty much a thin layer of colored plastic.是完全誠實的,這是一個很好接觸,但沒有炫耀,因為它是一個很值得一層薄薄的有色塑料。

Personally I imagined it to be more like frosted glass but as you can see it’s pretty much see-through.我個人想像它更象毛玻璃,但你可以看到它幾乎見通過。 Whoever invents a material where you can control the effect like pixel shaders will be very rich.凡發明的材料可以控制的效果一樣像素著色器將是非常豐富的。

The multimedia keys have also got a visual makeover with transparent buttons.多媒體鍵也有視覺改造與透明的按鈕。 Compared to the previous v2’s layout, v3 features more streamlined buttons which is better organized and less intrusive.相較於以前的版本2的佈局, v3的功能更精簡的按鈕,這是更好地組織和較少干擾。

The function keys have also been redesigned with smaller individual buttons that are equally spaced between each other.該功能鍵也被重新設計,較小的個別按鈕,同樣間隔彼此間。 This is a change I don’t welcome where it seems like they’ve change it for the sake of change.這是一個改變我不歡迎它好像他們已經改變,為了改變。 I say this because in the previous version, and on most keyboards, function keys are grouped in sets of fours (F1-F4).我這樣說是因為在以前的版本,和大多數鍵盤,功能鍵分為四個組( F1方程式賽車F4鍵) 。 This is useful because I’ve grown use to the habit of finding buttons by which set they are in and where they are in the set, for example F5 is the first of the second set, F12 is the last of the last set.這是非常有用的,因為我已經成長使用的習慣,找到按鈕,其中一套是在和他們是在設定,例如按F5是第一第二盤,按F12是最後的最後一套。 I’ve been taking a few guesses at where they are with moderate accuracy, but nothing beats knowing what button it is before pressing it.我已經採取了一些猜測在那裡他們是溫和的準確性,但沒有比知道什麼按鈕,這是它面前迫切。

The rest of the keyboard remains pretty much identical the previous version.其餘的鍵盤仍然是相當一致的以前的版本。 The keys are fairly soft and quiet whilst at the same time keeping the “desktop keyboard” tactile feel.把鑰匙是相當柔軟,安靜的同時保持“台式機鍵盤”觸覺感受。 It’s also good knowing the keyboard is ergonomically approved whilst it is still aesthetically pleasing (no ugly divide).這也是很好的了解是符合人體工程學的鍵盤,同時批准仍然是美觀(沒有醜陋的鴻溝) 。 Like the previous version, the rubbery palm rest remains and is in my opinion adds a lot to the comfort.像以前的版本,棕櫚油的膠狀其餘仍然是在我看來,增添了不少的安慰。

The mouse on the other hand is radically different from the previous version.鼠標另一方面是截然不同以前的版本。 At first sight it might seem like it was designed by a person who had just discovered curves, but you’d be surprised just how easily your hands rest and grip on it.乍一看這似乎是它的設計是由一個人誰剛剛發現的曲線,但你會驚訝是多麼容易你的手休息和掌握它。
Besides the normal things you expect out of a mouse like clicking and moving which it does well, I can’t help myself but comment on the scroll wheel and how Microsoft continues to baffle me why they’re making it harder and harder to use.除了正常的事情您期望中的鼠標一樣點擊和移動它並不好,我不能幫助自己,但評論滾輪和微軟是如何繼續困惑我,為什麼他們使它難使用。 The scroll wheel is now thinner than a female celebrity on a mission and the middle-click is becoming almost a balancing puzzle in itself - balance a little too far left or right activates the horizontal scroll instead.滾輪現在是薄於女性名人的使命和中等單擊幾乎已成為一個平衡之謎本身-平衡有點太遠左邊或右邊激活水平滾動代替。 Bring back the old tactile broad scrolls with an obvious middle-click please.帶回了老觸覺廣泛捲軸明顯帶有中間按一下吧。

Finally some quick notes about the battery life.最後一些速記的電池壽命。 Both the keyboard and mouse use two AA batteries (included).無論是鍵盤和鼠標,使用兩節AA電池(包括) 。 Obviously it’s difficult to give a firm evaluation of the battery life without prolonged use but from experiences using the previous version, the mouse lasts around 2-3 months with very intensive use and the keyboard around 4-5 months with pretty intensive use too.顯然,這很難給出了堅實評價的電池壽命不長時間使用的經驗,但使用以前的版本,鼠標持續大約2-3個月,非常密集的使用和鍵盤周圍4-5個月,相當密集使用過於。 Battery indicators on both will let you know when to prepare a fresh set of batteries before it passes away.電池指標都將讓你知道什麼時候準備了一套新的電池前去世。

Update: Forgot to mention the software, and you’ll see why. 更新:忘記提及的軟件,你就會明白為什麼。 The keyboard and mouse uses the common Microsoft鍵盤和鼠標採用了常見的微軟 IntelliType and IntelliPoint和的IntelliPoint的IntelliType drivers respectively.司機。 New driver updates come out as often as Al Qaeda videos which is acceptable since it does what it needs to do fairly well.新的驅動程序更新出來的往往是基地組織的錄像是可接受的,因為它沒有什麼需要做的相當不錯。 Besides the obvious it allows you to customize all of the non-standard keys on the keyboard and every button on the mouse as well as check the health of the battery (which always appears green).除了明顯的它可讓您自訂所有的非標準鍵鍵盤上的每個按鈕,鼠標以及健康檢查的電池(這總是出現綠色) 。
At a retail of US$99.95 (and US$78 on在美國零售99.95美元(美元78 Amazon亞馬遜 ), this is not a desktop set you’d buy for your average beige box. ) ,這不是一個桌面設置您想要購買的平均米色方塊。 If you don’t like wires but is concerned about performance and range, then I’d recommend you avoid Bluetooth for the time being.如果你不喜歡電線,但關注的是性能和範圍,然後我想建議您避免藍牙一段時間。 The Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 v3 is a stylish and functional desktop set with plenty of useful features.無線激光桌面6000 v3是一個時尚,功能強大的桌面設置大量有用的功能。 If you already have a v2 it’s probably not worth upgrading to but if you’re in the market for a new work or gaming desktop set without the premium tax then definitely have a look at this.如果您已經有一個v2的很可能不值得升級,但如果你在市場上的一項新的工作或遊戲台式機設置的溢價稅務然後肯定有一個看待這個問題。
