Logitech Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800 Features Smart
Backlighting
FREMONT, Calif., Aug 18, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Logitech (SWX:LOGN) (NASDAQ:LOGI) today introduced the rechargeable
Logitech(R) Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800, delivering bright, precise
illumination -- day or night. The newest Logitech
keyboard features ambient light and motion sensors, ensuring that you
have the right amount of backlight when you need it, while conserving
battery life when you don't.
"The Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800 is perfect for someone who
values both form and function," said Denis Pavillard, vice president of
product marketing for Logitech's keyboards and desktops. "The Wireless
Illuminated K800 keyboard includes features that make it a standout --
smart backlighting, Logitech(R) Unifying technology, our PerfectStroke(TM)
key system and Logitech Incurve keys(TM) -- and presents it all in a
very stylish and sleek package that's sure to please."
The Wireless
Illuminated K800 backlighting automatically adjusts based on the
amount of light in the room using ambient light sensors. Motion sensors
detect your hands as they approach to turn the backlighting on and to
turn it back off when your hands move away. As a result, you'll enjoy
bright, precise illumination and more battery life -- up to 10 days of
battery life without recharging. (Actual battery life will vary with
use, settings and environmental conditions.)
The Wireless Illuminated K800 is always ready when you need it thanks to
the micro-USB cable that lets you recharge while you type. Due to the
fast, flexible recharging, you'll never need to replace the batteries.
Instead, you can simply plug in the universal micro-USB cable to
recharge the onboard batteries.
Because a good keyboard needs to deliver a good typing experience, the
Logitech Wireless Illuminated keyboard includes the PerfectStroke(TM) key
system and Logitech Incurve keys(TM). The PerfectStroke key system helps
make every stroke comfortable, fluid and whisper-quiet. And the concave
design and softly rounded edges of the durable Logitech Incurve keys
position your fingers properly and invite your fingertips to glide from
key to key, hour after hour. Additionally, the letters and characters on
the keys are very durable and won't wear off.
The Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800 is also the latest in a line of
Logitech(R) Unifying-compatible mice and keyboards that feature the tiny,
leave-in receiver -- so small you can leave it in your laptop.
Unifying-compatible keyboards feature Logitech(R) Advanced 2.4 GHz
wireless connectivity, virtually eliminating delays and dropouts.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800 is expected to be
available in August for a suggested retail price of $99.99 (U.S.). You
