Msi motion-sensing wireless Air Keyboard

Micro-Star International has unveiled their motion-sensing Air Keyboard, a wireless keyboard best suited for home theater PC’s. It’s basically a wireless keyboard that connects via a USB dongle, good for a range of 50 meters, and comes with a game pad and gyroscopic sensors for navigation.

The keyboard is mini-QWERTY, and measures 14.2 inches wide, 8.8 inches deep, and 3.3 inches high. It was originally introduced by Cideko last year, but will be co-branded with MSI when it lands in Germany next month. It’s powered by two AA batteries, providing 50 hours of use so a pair of rechargeable batteries would probably be a good investment. At this point, it’s only compatible with Windows (from 98SE up) and Mac OS X (10.2 and up).

What’s nifty about the MSI Air Keyboard is its gyroscopic sensors meant for navigation, which reminds users of the Wii.

Pricing and availability information might leave most people wanting, though — it sells for approximately US$107, but plans are only set for a Germany release. Neither MSI nor Cideko has any plans for releases in other parts of the world at this point.
