<p>Microsoft is expanding their hardware line up today, with the introduction of a new keyboard aimed specifically at mobile users. The <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2009/sep09/09-09bmk6000pr.mspx" target="_blank">wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 is</a>, as you might expect, a Bluetooth-only device that Microsoft has supposedly designed with comfort and portability in mind.</p>
<p>The device offers a much wider typing surface than a laptop's, but still manages to conserve valuable space with a detached keypad as well as extreme thinness. At its thickest point, the BMK 6000 is only slightly larger than a AAA battery.</p>

For a price of around $100 you can pick up the keyboard, and the keypad runs an extra $45. For some, the additional functionality might be worth it -- especially if you travel a lot and don't like typical laptop keyboards. The advantage of it being Bluetooth removes the need for a wireless receiver or a USB cable chained to your laptop, another useful thing when on the road.</p><p><a rel='canonical' href='https://www.techspot.com/news/36153-microsoft-intros-ultrathin-mobile-keyboard-bmk-6000.html' target='_blank'>Permalink to story.</a></p><p class='permalink'><a rel='canonical' href='https://www.techspot.com/news/36153-microsoft-intros-ultrathin-mobile-keyboard-bmk-6000.html'>https://www.techspot.com/news/36153-microsoft-intros-ultrathin-mobile-keyboard-bmk-6000.html</a></p>
