New Logitech Keyboards Stress Comfort, Digital Media Experience
July 22, 2004
New York, NY - Logitech announced the newest members of its growing family of cordless computer keyboards and peripherals, with the introduction of three new cordless desktops: the Logitech Cordless Desktop LX 500, the LX 501, and the LX 300.
The company is also introducing a corded keyboard based on one of the new designs - the Logitech Media Keyboard.
The new keyboard designs have a low profile - they are 22.3 mm in height when placed on a flat surface. The designs also incorporate the Zero Degree Tilt feature, the manufacturer describes, which makes the primary rows of keys all the same height. In most keyboards, the height of the keys increases with each row, from the space bar to the function keys.
Logitech's new designs combine the enhanced navigation controls of the keyboard with those of the mouse. The controls include Internet Back and Forward buttons, as well as one-click access to a favorite search engine. The Cordless Desktop LX 500 and LX 501 also include a scroll wheel on the left side of the keyboard.
A media panel at the top of each keyboard gives people complete control of music, videos and slideshows. The Logitech Cordless Desktop LX 500 and LX 501 also include dedicated buttons for functions such as recording and burning media. In addition, the new Logitech MediaLife software is bundled with the LX 500 and LX 501.
The new function keys, circular in appearance, enable the ability to launch Microsoft Office applications or complete popular Windows and Microsoft Office commands such as Print and Save. The F1 through F8 keys are labeled with icons for these specific functions, and F9 through F12 can be programmed.
The Logitech Cordless Desktop LX 500 and LX 501, available in the U.S. beginning in mid-August, have a suggested retail price of $79.95.
The Logitech Cordless Desktop LX 300 will be available in the U.S. beginning in mid-September for a suggested retail price of $59.95.
Logitech also announced the Logitech Media Keyboard, which will be available in the U.S. beginning in early August for a suggested retail price of $29.95.
