Saitek has announced their Eclipse III, a backlit, adjustable keyboard. The backlighting is multi-colored and the entire thing runs via USB. Also, it features a "two stage height" adjustor system and laser etched keys. The Eclipse III also boasts headphone and microphone audio ports and a host of shortcut keys. The company has yet to reveal how much it will cost or when it will be released.

Apple just announced the .16-inch thin MacBook Air — a laptop so thin it fits in a manila envelope. The new machine features a full-size keyboard and LED-backlit 13.3-inch display with built-in iSight, and the new larger trackpad supports multi-touch gestures. Just like the iPhone, you’ll be able to pan around, pinch to zoom, and rotate with two fingers, and move windows with a flick. Apple got the size down by using the same 1.8-inch 80GB drive that’s in the iPod classic, but you’ll be able to order a 64GB SSD as an option. The Air eschews optical media, but there’s a separate external you can snag for $99 and Apple’s also announced a feature called Remote Disk that’ll let the Air get data off the optical drive in any PC or Mac running the Remote Disk software. Pricing starts at $1799, and the Air will be shipping in two weeks.

iKey has come up with LED backlit keyboards that are compatible with night vision goggles. They do stuff like this for the military, but it is also applicable in law enforcement and emergency medical operations that need and use night-vision.

Gyration’s 4-ounce M2000 Travel Air-Mouse is here with a 100’ range of wireless freedom. It provides faithful response to hand movements, which is unrivalled in other mobile mice, making precise tracking possible in the boardroom, the living room or a cramped space, such as coach class air or train travel. It sports Gyration’s exclusive Swipes™ technology that enables the user to initiate any command with a flick of the wrist.

“People are increasingly mobile these days, as evidenced by the dominance of notebook computer sales, and aren’t always tied to the desk”, said Greg Smith, Vice President for Marketing and OEM Sales at Gyration. “The Travel Air-Mouse was designed with this in mind, providing the business traveler or ‘digital couch potato’ with the freedom to control their PC and entertainment without the need for a desktop surface.”

Expected to hit the shelves in 2008, it will sell for $69.95. Along with a wireless keyboard will be $99.95.
