"This new family of products takes the traditional mouse functionality
you're used to and optimizes it for the navigation experience offered by
Windows 8," said Mike Culver, vice president of brand development for
consumer computing platforms at Logitech. "Our new mice and touchpad
replicate the touch-screen experience that you've grown accustomed to on
smartphones and tablets. With Windows 8 now offering up a similar touch
experience, our products give you quick, easy and dynamic access to the
core elements of the new interface."
Logitech Wireless Rechargeable Touchpad T650
The Logitech Wireless Rechargeable Touchpad T650 features a large,
ultra-smooth glass touch-surface that supports Windows 8 gestures, and
speeds up navigation among windows while giving your fingers more room
to roam.
You can perform the basic point, click and scroll functions anywhere
your fingers rest on the touch surface, while also taking advantage of
Windows 8 gestures, such as edge gestures for app switching, app bar and
charms bar activation, pinch-to-zoom and three-finger swipe to take you
back to the Start Screen.
The touchpad consists of one large touch-area with a glass surface that
provides smooth gliding for greater gesture and cursor control. You can
left- or right-click anywhere on the surface of the touchpad, and it
includes an embedded sensor to ensure precise tracking so navigation is
fast and fluid.
Logitech Touch Mouse T620
For those looking for a mouse with an ultra-sleek design, the Logitech
Touch Mouse T620 provides a full touch-surface for fluid navigation.
Similar to the touchpad, you have the freedom to gesture wherever your
fingers rest on the mouse — even on the edges — so everything you do
feels natural and intuitive, including horizontal and vertical
scrolling, and app switching.
This smooth wireless mouse has high style, designed-for-comfort curves
that keep your hand happy for hours, and a laser-grade optical sensor
that ensures precision tracking on most surfaces.
Logitech Zone Touch Mouse T400
The Logitech Zone Touch Mouse T400 goes beyond traditional mouse
functionality by letting you quickly and easily access popular elements
of the operating system. It features a glass touch-surface that is
designed for smooth horizontal and vertical scrolling with your fingers,
and you can click anywhere on the front of the touch zone to go directly
to the Windows 8 Start Screen to access your favorite apps.
With a rubber grip wrapping the comfortable shape — and by coupling the
standard functionality found in a more traditional mouse with smooth
horizontal and vertical scrolling — you'll be happy exploring your PC or
tablet for hours on end.
Battery Life
The Logitech Wireless Rechargeable Touchpad T650 recharges through USB
and has up to one month of battery life on a full charge, and an On/Off
switch with a low-battery indicator light. The Logitech Touch Mouse T620
has a six-month battery life, and the Logitech Zone Touch Mouse T400 has
an 18-month battery life. Similar to the touchpad, the Logitech Zone
Touch Mouse T400 also features an On/Off switch and a low battery
indicator light.
The battery life for each product is based on varying user and computing
conditions.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech Wireless Rechargeable Touchpad T650, Logitech Touch Mouse
T620 and Logitech Zone Touch Mouse T400 are expected to be available in
the U.S. and Europe beginning in October 2012, for a suggested retail
price of $79.99, $69.99 and $49.99, respectively. For more information
