Memorex to Ship XP Compatible Input Devices

October 16, 2001- Memorex Products, Inc., the exclusive U.S. distributor of the well-known Memorex branded media products and accessories announced today a complete line of keyboards and mice, many compatible with Microsoft’s new XP operating system. The updated line will consist of four ScrollPro mice, three keyboards and a wireless keyboard and mouse combination package. Three of the new keyboards and mice will utilize wireless Radio Frequency (RF) technology, including the new Optical RF ScrollPro (TM) Mouse. Unlike Infrared (IR) devices that require the user to point the device in an unobstructed path to the CPU, Memorex RF technology allows users the freedom to effectively use their Memorex devices anywhere within the range of receiver without a direct unobstructed path.

Optical technology adds to the ease-of-use and maintenance of two of Memorex’s new ScrollPro mice. These new optical mice will operate on almost any flat surface.

"Our accessory line has been completely updated for optimal ease-of-use, state-of-the-art styling and technology that will support Microsoft’s new XP operating system,” stated Michael Golacinski, president of Memorex. “Consumers and retailers can specify these products knowing that they are ready for many years of carefree use and compatibility," continued Golacinski.

Featured products include the RF5700 Keyboard and Mouse bundle kit for $59.99. The combo package includes a RF wireless 5-button mouse and keyboard with multimedia and Internet hot keys and removable soft-touch ergonomic wrist rest. Leading the new line of mice is the RF ScrollPro Optical Mouse for $49.99. Featuring wireless RF and optical scrolling technology, the mouse offers programmable buttons, a MousePort docking station and maintenance-free use incorporated into the stylish chrome plated design. The entire Memorex line of Microsoft XP compatible input products will be available at major consumer electronics and computer retailers in November 2001.
