    Yes bloody Intel! They could be leading the way but there isn't a financial incentive for them to push this. Should have had native a few generations ago.

    Is there even a need for keyboards and mice to have USB3?

    Apart from USB ports on the keyboard, I don't think there is a bandwidth requiring them to have USB3..?

    Only things I can think of is reduced latency... also not sure how a USB 3 hub handles queuing when USB 2 devices are connected. You might affect the other devices speed if you mix USB 2 and USB 3 off the same channel on a USB 3 controller?

    Thats an interesting thought. I would like to know the answer to that as well.

    "Meanwhile, Thunderbolt has yet to make a dent in the market, making an appearance on just a few devices, notebooks and enthusiast motherboards besides Apple's line of desktops and laptops."

    ^That's why.

    I was just looking at newegg and Thunderbolt doesnt justify the $50-$100 premium...
