Microsoft Desktop Set Question

[Ange062]

I am interested in getting a new mouse/keyboard combo, and have decided on the MS Wireless Desktop Elite. Zipzoomfly lists two different part numbers with the same name, and one is $15 more then the other.

The first, here , is MS part number S51-00001.

The second, here , is the cheaper one and is part number S51-00018.

They are both listed as retail version of the Wireless Optical Desktop Elite. Anybody know what the difference is between these two? Ive tried the MS website, but havent been able to figure out what the difference is.

I took a look at both of them. Surprisingly, the "cheaper" model (S51-00018) is the "Executive Edition," which has a leather-covered palm rest and leatherette covering on part of the mouse. The higher-priced version is the standard edition (S51-00001) that you'll see at Best Buy and CompUSA, with a cushioned palm rest and an "unwrapped" (no leatherette covering) mouse.

interesting, i wonder why they "executive" one is cheaper? Hopefully it isnt an older version with crappier battery life. Thanks for the info.
