Logitech (News - Alert) reportedly has introduced three new keyboards that industry insiders are hailing as major improvements to the “hands-on” devices.

 

The first one is the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard, which offers an optimized backlight experience, Logitech PerfectStroke key system and Logitech’s thinnest design ever. The second is the Logitech diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks, which is designed for laptop owners. The third product is the Logitech Cordless Desktop S520, which offers a keyboard-and-mouse combination that matches a wide variety of computer setups.

 

The Logitech Illuminated Keyboard optimizes existing backlight technology and combines microlens reflectors, a multilayer painting process and laser etching. The adjustable backlight gives you just the right amount of light for all your typing and browsing needs. Featuring the Logitech PerfectStroke key system, the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard and the diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks provide a typing experience that’s comfortable, fluid and silent.

 

The diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks offers a full-size layout, which includes number pad. With the Logitech Alto Connect or Logitech Alto Express notebook stands, users can transform the setup into a comfortable place to work and play, as well as protect themselves from laptop heat. Eliminating delays and dropouts, Logitech’s advanced 2.4 GHz wireless technology dramatically reduces interference.

 

The new Logitech keyboard-and-mouse combination provides up to eight months of battery life for the mouse and 15 months for the keyboard. You can instantly get to your favorite applications with one-touch access to Word, Excel and your Internet browser. A full set of media and volume controls make managing your media, photos and music easy and four additional programmable F-keys let you customize your keyboard the way you want it.

 

For a suggested retail price of $79.99, the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe next month. The Logitech diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks is expected to be available worldwide next month for a suggested retail price of $99.99. The Logitech Cordless Desktop S520 comes for a price of $59.99.

 

“Style – specifically the ability to choose the style that fits one’s tastes – is increasingly driving purchase decisions,” said Denis Pavillard, vice president of product marketing for Logitech keyboards and desktops. “Our three newest keyboards address this trend, as well as various usage scenarios, from working in low light to being more comfortable when working on a laptop.”
