Logitech desktop solution

along with its Logitech keyboard with navigation controls. Logitech says its exclusive laser illumination and tracking technology enables the mouse to see approximately 20 times more surface detail than typical red light-emitting diode (LED) optical mice, allowing it to track with more precision and work on more surface types. The package will be available in March for $150.

The laser light of the Logitech MX1000 Laser Cordless Mouse is nearly invisible to the human eye -- and very safe. The laser beam emanates through a polished silver ring on the base, illuminates the surface beneath the mouse, and then reflects back up through the same ring where the surface detail is captured by the sensor. The sensor has the ability to capture 5.8 megapixels of detail each second. As the laser mouse is moved, the sensor sees minute changes in the surface detail, which are translated into cursor motion on screen.



The keyboard includes a media panel with a full complement of controls that can be used with most popular media players. There are controls for ripping and burning music CDs, as well as audio preset buttons that can be tied to favorite Internet radio stations. Both the mouse and keyboard feature controls to enable horizontal and vertical scrolling and also include controls to zoom in and out of documents.



The keyboard also includes a button that instantly returns the view to the document's original size. The keyboard emulates the sleek look and feel of consumer electronics equipment with its polished media and navigation controls. The controls are tied to useful functions within various media and productivity applications, helping to simplify and enhance the digital experience. The keyboard also offers a flat design and low profile help make computing more comfortable and ergonomic.
