Microsoft announces new Wedge Touch Mouse and Wedge Mobile keyboard designed for Windows 8. The new fullsize keyboard has quick access to features such as the Charms, and a Windows key that features the new Windows logo. The mouse packs a four way touch scrolling, handy for the Metro style UI on Windows 8, and like the Wedge Keyboard, it's Bluetooth enabled.

Will you have to move the Wedge Touch Mouse? If not then it's not a mouse, it's just a trackpad.
