Logitech Illuminated Keyboard


Logitech has announced three new keyboards to suit different styles and needs including an illuminated black-lit keyboard which also happens to be the company's thinnest ever at .37 inches or 9.3 mm from base to frame.

Also new to the range is the range is diNovo, a keyboard designed for laptop/notebook owners who typically use an external mouse and need a keyboard to complete the setup and last but not least is the Cordless Desktop S520 keyboard and mouse combination for a wide range of PC setups.

Obviously, the headline grabber here is the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard featuring an adjustable backlight with microlens reflectors, a multilayer painting process and laser etching to provide a keypad that is brighter, sharper and easier to read than ever before - typing in the dark has never been this easy.

Boasting a transparent and ultra-thin (.37 inches or 9.3 mm from base to frame), the keyboard adds an elegant touch to any desk while still offering a full-size key layout (including a number pad), soft-touch palm rest and a full row of F-keys, as well as media- and volume-control keys for instant command of your entertainment.

The diNovo is the first Logitech keyboard designed specifically for the notebook PC and offers a full-size layout, complete with number pad, and the optimised key feel of Logitech's PerfectStroke technology - 3.2 mm key travel for comfort and ergonomics. The diNovo is impressively thin (.87 inches or 22.10 mm from base to key caps) wiith a glossy black finish and brushed-aluminum palm rest that look great with any notebook PC.

The Cordless Desktop S520 has a matte-black and grey palette, rounded edges and gently curved palm rest is a contemporary yet compact keyboard that can complement a wide range of computers. The high-performance cordless laser mouse delivers exceptional precision and smoother tracking, compared to optical mice.

The Logitech Illuminated Keyboard is expected to be available in the US and Europe in October for a suggested retail price of US$79.99, while the Logitech diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks is expected to be available worldwide in October for a suggested retail price of US$99.99. The Logitech Cordless Desktop S520 is expected to be available worldwide in September for a suggested retail price of US$59.99. [logitech.com]

Is this the first illuminated keyboard?

No it isn't actually. There's a few illuminated keyboards already on the market which is why Logitech is centering their marketing campaign around the thinness of this keyboard with illumination being the bonus.
