Conclusion: I want it!

What's so good about this keyboard?

• You can switch between wireless (Bluetooth) and wired (MicroUSB?) connections
• In the wireless case, a full charge lasts for about four months
• Fingerprint authentication is of course compatible with Windows Hello
• The design is simple and cool!

That's what I think.
Windows Hello in particular was announced with such great fanfare when Windows 10 was announced, but
up until now it hasn't been used anywhere other than on the Surface and machines from certain manufacturers, so I'm really excited about it.

A new mouse has also been announced, but it doesn't seem to have much in the way of features.
I think the design matches this keyboard.
